Insane for the thousand time.

Poor Kanye, another egg in his face  

I think Kanye beat everyone's expectations too doing 100m+ for 2 days. Not to mention his first week numbers are 2.5 days shorter than Drake's. 

Plus he's been in the business for 10 years longer. It's not realistic. In 2007 Kanye made toast of 50 Cent by debuting with almost 1m sales. 

 700m streams, absolutely insane

Not even Lover when Lover sold more than Folklore on its first week

I'm aware. It was a poor choice of words. 

I wish the album as better

700m streams. The effortless slayage  The way he and Taylor are easily the biggest artists in the last 15 years.

 

I dislike the album but you can't deny the hold he has on the GP.

His power is insane.

but not Folklore or even Lover 

But even Scorpion had lower debuts than those, of course Taylor will sell more first week because she has more pure sales.

Great numbers, the streams  

 

 I will never understand his numbers. He hasn’t released a good song in a decade 

WWWOOOOWWW. Can you imagine if he and Kayne released the same day and he blew Kayne away like the the first week 

Jesus

huge numbers but the pure sales??? why is nobody buying his music??

rappers usually have lower pure sales + his physicals aren't out yet.

Oh wow

These numbers are insane  he should easily be doing 1m+ first week but sadly we’ll never see that again post bundles

mmm...scorpion had 160k sales so that would only add potentially 100k

Omfg

Halsey only did 1/6 of this in her first week 

I’m pissed

the GOAT of success 

these numbers with a mediocre album imagine if he actually released something good 

The way he ENDED Kanye!  

Oh wow post bundle era this is enormous chile  

sickening 

Safe to say that Drake and Taylor will continue to be the top artists of the 2020s.
