Thought this would come in under mixtape Pluto based off of first day and the reception

different situation

drake doing numbers while beefing with the label and calling the CEO a bum, while also having 10 other tapes on the charts.

dot did these numbers backed by the industry (grammys/superbowl) that were happening the same time.

so he is doing Habibti numbers with +20 track album ?

not gonna lie it feels like atlanta niggas suffered the most from the beef and kendrick reinventing the history.

these are solid numbers, but the last metro tape, thug, 21, lil baby and them been doing worse and worse every since 24.

maybe about 10-15k better than i was expecting tbh. impressive considering his spotify numbers have been catastrophically bad, apple music still has enough motion to sort of cancel that out.

word of mouth is kinda bad, so it might not have legs needed to really stick around for the summer

With the new streaming rule in place, i thought future would of benefited more

Baddie friend of mine that loves future and clubbing admitted to me that it was straight ass it’s cooked for his summer longevity tbh

If this ends up being the number

More than wsdty and mixtape pluto

GNX was doing 66K a week in mid-January 2025, weeks before the Grammys and the Super Bowl

Why do y’all act dense on here

Drake is 3x more popular on streaming than Future

promo for the grammys and super bowl were already in full affect

drake is doing after getting 'killed' and with 10 other album charting

just sayin

HIM nearly dd 700k combined first week

meanwhile future was doing +200k before and shortly after the beef. this is a decrease for him, so its fair to say he suffered post beef as many other atlanta cats did.

kendrick made niggas believe that drake exploited and needed them, now atlanta is looking worse than ever numbers wise. sad to see, they had the game on lock when they were united.

Future only has done 200K+ first week twice in his career, that is his peak

He usually does somewhere between 110K and 150K first week

Whereas 200K is the low end for Drake

You’re comparing apples to oranges

There’s no way y’all still believe these conspiracies in July 2026

The average person is not thinking about the politics of the music industry when they go into their DSP and press play on an album they want to hear

Nobody in January 2025 was like “oh yeah I love what Lucien is cooking up by giving Kendrick the Super Bowl and the four Grammys he’s about to win in six weeks, let me go click play on GNX because of that”

Also if you wanna say Atlanta had the game on lock when they were united, then let’s go back to 2023. What Atlanta rap album was so successful that year?

Complaining about marketing in a sales thread is also incredibly brain dead

Iceman was marketed for damn near 2 years, not that it matters, that’s literally the point of a label
