hope ur ok

Yeah when I think about it, it's almost impossible. He should have dropped a shorter album. Scorpion already broke enough album records so he could have used this to break (more) song streams & h100 records

I think it's pretty good even though most people online are hating on it. Its nothing revolutionary but it has his best lyrics and least duds since 2015. I prefer this breaking records over Views and Scorpion

More like Folk-1-1-1-5-12-20-30-1-20-1-32-1-lore But yes their longevity is unmatched

Stay will 100% go top 10 unless Drake drops some last minute Lyric videos or sumn. He should have just made the album ~14 tracks. Then he would have absolutely dominated the top 10

I don't think Scorpion has tour bundles. Drake could easily do like 300k+ pure if he had pre-orders and tour bundles

All streaming services in the US It did 745mil first week.

Not breaking the record in 12 hours But it's his best project in over half a decade so it deserves

Its true. Anytime there is any discussion about a rappers success on here its always local!!!!! (except Eminem for some reason) I mean he is disproportionally big in the US but he is also massive across the globe. I provided receipts, can you point me to any sources that show Drake isnt a huge smash outside of the US?

OT: He'll get 3-4 top 10 debuts. Not as many as Scorpion but still impressive

People need to stop this lowkey racist narrative that black music is local to the US. Drake is the only artist to top the Global IFPI artist list twice. Gods Plan, In My Feelings and especially One Dance went #1 in more countries than most of our faves have. Gods Plan & One Dance arent at 2bil spotify streams from the US alone lol

And these other bishes think their faves can compete

Actually they are counted separately. On the counter yesterday it said 7.3mil for pt1 and 1.5mil for pt2. I think Billboard will combine the two tho since pt2 is no different from any other remix. Debuting at #1 is very much possible but lack of YouTube, Radio and Sales + losing 2 days will definitely hurt it. I could see Butter and Stay pulling thru

*10 since Jail pt2 wasn't available. And 8 hours less + streams on Sundays are lower than on Fridays

Maybe, he'll be going to to toe with SOUR. But I feel like he'll be more frontloaded so Donda will end up at the lower end of the predictions. And Drake will clear 400-500k+ with ease next week

Aren't the numbers for folklore and Scorpion counter numbers?

Pls. #6 on TTH is nothing. Lizzo got better playlisting for her lead. I didnt say ye didnt get any support but nothing out of the ordinary. Scorpion was literally on EVERY single playlist. They had Drake on rock and country playlists. Spotify had to issue an apology to users

I don't think so because it was released at 8am EST (which is already afternoon in Europe and evening in Asia). But it could still break the US record. And this will kinda be more impressive than Scorpion tbh because that album was plastered on every single playlist

Halsey said let the music speak for itself

They do. The product in the merch bundle just has to be available separately on the same site

Why can't they just employ the same rules they use for Merch bundles? The same product has to be available for sale at a lower price without the album. I don't get what people receiving a physical copy or a digital copy would change about the bundles legitimacy

The music is included tho. Just as a digital download. It's the same as if they bought it on iTunes, only that it comes with a boxset of collectables

Not really. JB is just very GP driven with his smash singles (rn especially Stay) giving him a wide group of listeners. Bad Bunny's albums on the other hand get way better daily streams due to a very strong and dedicated base

Butter has me yelling. Maybe Megan will make listeners switch

and 7 rings is the most streamed female rap song of all time

THEEE moment. Imagine OR2's first week sales if she pulls a Billie and does 3 month pre-order + vinyl shipping first week
