Those huge numbers for Ed got me thinking: isn't it possible for an album to debut on the Top 200 with streaming alone? I'm sure Billboard must have a rule that an album can only debut after its release in full, but theoretically Divide could have debuted before, right?

Galway Girl is huge  I expected it for the UK & Ireland but I thought it would be one of the lower album tracks in the US, it's not the sound that is big on the charts there.

Drake is shook.

Ed is already bigger than him WW and won't get to his level in the U.S., so  

 

BTW Views is only the 3rd-most streamed album on Spotify WW. X and Purpose are ahead of it, though I can't remember their order.

I wonder if Drake's new album will have just be a 1 week AM exclusive  or the regular 2 weeks..

It'll probably be two weeks. But Fake Love, Sneakin', and Two Birds, One Stone went straight to Spotify, so I'm holding out hope for a pleasant surprise. 

 

If J. Cole could do this:

 

 

...imagine the numbers he would pull first day.

I counted them at the start of February:

 

Purpose - 4,429,816,729

X (Wembley Edition) - 3,642,473,882

Views - 3,575,452,207

Hm, maybe Views is past X by now. I know the former is at 3.8B.

 

But X was more popular then than Views is now WW. Most of its streams came in 2014 and 2015, so its total needs to be contextualized.

[Starkboy]

Photograph topped 600M streams btw

I just added them up:

 

Purpose - 4,538,121,428

X (Wembley Edition) - 3,798,593,171

Views - 3,741,902,702

 

Views has closed the gap massively between itself and X, but I wonder if X will get a boost from Divide's release that'll help it hold on a bit longer? Purpose has ~750M lead though
