Drake has to do it

who is Chesney tho

Who tf is Kenny chesney

Calm before the storm.

Drake is the reason why Hip Hop became the most popular genre over rock in 2016. Now he’s losing to country singers

what a thread title

Drake stupid af, not one bundle available for purchase

If Drake bundled album pre-orders with ticket sales he'd NEVER hear the end of it

Why would he?

Are these numbers closer than before? Wasn’t 250k always the prediction? Drake team better make something happen. They know it’s going to be a s*** storm if he doesn’t debut at number 1. Even if the numbers aren’t bad when you consider The context, they know people will run wild with the “Drake fell off” narrative.

Pure streams and sales vs Bundle package for a tour that’s not probably not happening anyways thanks to CoVid-19.

You delusional if you think Drake was the reason... the reason was change in Billboard streaming rules

He was if I’m not mistaking. I could’ve sworn I remember seeing he’s the reason why the rule was changed.

@Vietbrah am I tripping?

do NOT stream drake’s new album until first week is over, kenny needs to win.

Drake is the biggest artist in hip hop lol. He released a tape of throwaways lol. Why the f*** does sales matter right now lol.

Drake haters praying for Kenny to win

Travis would not have this problem

I actually hope he gets #2 so he will go harder on the album

Don’t think he’s losing sleep if that happens
