choosing texas is putting up similar points as AIWFCIY with a completely different formula, AIWFCIY would probably be 400+ with those stats under this new formula
Drake literally has more #1s than MJ, the midget had his little run but numbers wise he's not creeping up ever. Iceman itself cleared GNX, and when you add the other two albums it's not even close 😂😂
and this is how propaganda happens lol. he was competing with himself in Squabble Up and TV Off and then right after that was Christmas songs…if anything it shows that the song lasted throughout the Christmas season and by January 11 gained a spot each week until it held #1 basically a MONTH after Super Bowl and for 13 weeks onwards
that’s a hit, but you tried lol. there was no “super bowl boost” like your post tryna imply, people just liked the song more as time went on and gnx finally had time to breathe post Christmas, just like SZA SOS and Metro in 2022
there was def a super bowl boost lol song was def already a hit but we cant deny the platform’s impact
500 first week would’ve been the most momentous comeback
460k in this climate with no physicals/bundles is still crazy. But 500k would've been a cool threshold to cross yeah
This will be Drake's 11th project to clear 400k+ first week
Eminem has done that 7x, Kanye 5x, Jay-Z 9x
How off do we think HDD is from the official numbers? @shaleirose
500 first week would’ve been the most momentous comeback
It could be 500k. Hdd is an estimate. Billboard official numbers drop tomorrow.
where?
Spotify

Meant daily streams

that's about as much nine did with emotions
look again then cause jimmy cooks and wait for u are 1.3 billion
good s***, keep that reddit nerd honest big dog 🤝
It was his most hyped in release. S*** sucked hard af though. People only listened for SZA. Now its below every single Drake album god damn
“Only listened for SZA”
Cmon bro which is it? Did the album only do well cause it was after the beef and the drake stimulus or cause of SZA? Or was it the label bots that magically only benefitted Kendrick and never Drake? Get your lies straight
fair enough, too much stipulations and conjecture on both ends to try to compare them
…and this is why NUMBERS ARGUMENTS SUCK
the line shifts TOO MUCH and there’s no way to have a solid discussion about numbers that are essentially pulled out of thin air, rules surrounding those numbers changed in real time to only benefit a new era higher than it actually is that hurt’s the previous era, and we’re told to believe it’s all true lmfao
like I swear we can do better than this as humans
Ngl the beef ain't even make me hop off Kendrick wave it was the peeling back the curtain antics he did during it. If you would've told me during GKMC-TPAB era he'd link up with all the gatekeepers, pump up his numbers, throw out twitter bars, tap dance for the NFL, and basically sell his soul to the industry I would've called you a goofy. He used to be the grassroots underdog but we seen the real side of him and it's hard to go back through his catalog and know this is the path he chose for himself
We ain't even really get any good bars or verses from any of this either. Broccoli snippet hype was crazy then Squabble Up was a play once classic. I'm just wondering where he go from here because it don't seem planned out
Big facts. I used to look up to him, for me Drake was the fun hit maker and Dot was one of the greatest avant garde artists and moral gurus. The beef showed his true colors and the godly music its simple not there anymore.
Now you got dot stans arguing about sales and streams when they used to preach “sales don’t matter”
Does Billboard announce first week sales today?
Tomorrow
no troll but why ould someone listen to iceman but not the other 2 albums
i know super stans that have only heard iceman. Same way I know people that only heard maid of honor
