DRAKE'S SCORPION: THE PRE-GAME SHOW

 

Drake has dropped the trailer for new YMCMB/Republic set Scorpion (due 6/29), and the biz is abuzz with speculation about how it might perform in its first week. Will it have a seven-figure bow, all in? What role might a bundle play? How will Drizzy's brutal diss war with Pusha T affect the narrative?

 

Will Drake reclaim his previous record for most first-week streams (385m), currently held by Post Malone (431m)? What streaming records will Scorpion set? Will Drake fans stream Scorpion enough times in its first week for it to surpass one million in total. How will the new weighted chart rules, which give more weight to subscriber streams, impact/benefit Scorpion? 

 

One thing's for sure: All eyes are on the streaming giant, whose mixtape More Life debuted at 505k (225k albums) in 2017, and whose proper album Views bowed with 1.04m all in (855k albums) the previous year.

Hopefully Platinum first week

I’m gonna guess 500k albums and 850-900k total activity 

If Taylor can do it,

Drake, the so-hailed king of music, should be able to easily match

if not heavily outdo her

At the very least he'll definitely come close.

drake has never done that.  People are just inflating expectations artificially.

He will pull 1M for sure.

The real rap king and queen

I remember them predicting he’d do 2mill for Views lol

King

Hummmmmm

And ATRL thought he was going to flop because even Beyocné flopped lmao...

I think people will be streaming the album back to back for that Pusha T diss track (if there’s even one), so it can definitely come close to 1M.

he will

have the new streaming rules kicked in

 

that could stop him from getting 1m first week
