If he did 1.7x more streams on Apple Music than Spotify. And sells ~47K digital downloads. Then the Billboard #'s will be over 600K

It’s either 595k or 610k

CLB on repeat!!!!

Last tracking day. Run it up!

That extra five K can be made up from Pandora/YouTube/Tidal and programmed streams (which is something I just learned about from thegreatdivine)

The thing we don't know is how much of the streams from Spotify are paid. But I think it's a high number.

He averages 116M streams per week but last week his streams jumped to 141M in anticipation of CLB.

does his Spotify deal make all streams paid? since no ads

Drake's weekly U.S. audio streams/rank so far this year based on the Rolling Stone Artist 500 chart (video streams/programmed streams not included)

Hard to know but I'm guessing yes.

just thinking about how huge drake was during views, 852k albums sold no bundles. only on apple music

No. That would mean an artist could literally pay for album sales

This makes 0 sense.

The label made a deal with Spotify to offer free premium as part of the CLB rollout.

Yall kids really don't know how businesses work

Tidal gang, streaming all day and night

Bout to loop the album 8 more times before the time’s up. Feel like 600k still achievable.

Do they release the official numbers tomorrow, or is that Monday?

HDD will put out their final predictions tomorrow but Billboard will release the official numbers on Sunday or Monday

I’m sorry this streaming s*** make no sense 😭 let’s go back to Cd era

I thought Apple only reported numbers to billboard lmao. Like this is the confusing thing cause if he’s done 400m streams on Spotify, they’re trynna say he only did 300m on Apple? Ain’t no way Apple US ain’t already 700-1bil in the us alone. His Apple base is damn near 2x bigger than Spotify.

hes not that big to do a billion alone on apple

So I've seen some projections and it's looking like Drake might manage 9 top 10 debuts after all.

👀

That would be absolutely legendary
