Biggest album of the year for sure
Utopia clears GNX globally and it isn't even close
You know what, you might be right about that
UTOPIA is way bigger internationally but GNX is bigger in the US for sure
Nobody on this planet was saying "I'll only listen to that new Kendrick Lamar joint if that snippet from the NLU video is on it
" so what's your point? Are you really trying to say that 5 second snippet was an effort by Kendrick to get numbers on his next album?
Again, you sound like a f***ing retΓ‘rd. Stick to posts d***riding Aubrey for outselling Kendrick's surprise release, this logic/critical thinking s*** not for you
You're delusional if you think if the midget didn't put the snippet on NLU to tease new music.

Lol this one here is probably the dumbest data point I've ever seen on KTT, not surprised it's coming from a Kdot superfan.

If GNX wasn't a surprise-release, then surely people would've been searching it online before it released, right?
Did the Dua Lipa album get a bump from her getting married lol?

notice how bad bunny is no longer a rapper to now π€£π€£
guys if kendrick had promo, and they didnt change the algorithitm, and he also put more songs on the album, then he definitely would have beat drake
Not a surprise-release:

The easiest way to see if an album was a surprise-release or not is to... see if people were searching for that album before it released

it was a surprise release but to act like there was zero build up before it is also disingenuous

People were anticipating a new Kendrick album at some point, yes
GNX was still a complete surprise drop
Both things can be true at the same time
That poster is saying that GNX wasn't a surprise-drop because squabble up was teased in the Not Like Us music video

yes thats what i literally just said lol
yes thats what i literally just said lol
Nobody was acting like there was zero build-up before it, we're just saying it was a surprise drop, which is what that other poster is directly disagreeing with
The argument here is that there was promo for Kendrick leading up to the album, even though the title might not have been announced. Everyone was buzzing about new music from him before the super bowl, especially after that snippet on NLU. Obviously a Google search for Kendrick GNX wouldn't return anything πππ

Anticipating an artist's next album =/= album promo
GNX had absolutely zero pre-release promo
Because you're still going
