They were using hnvm sales to say drake fell off

How has that anything to do with what I said and the post I quoted?

Not Like Us was ran into the ground, because it became like a meme to the casuals and the big masses. Sort of like not wanting to miss out on what is going on and flocking like sheep because people talking about it on social media. It was a big moment, but doesnt necessarily mean people will check for a whole album or are now big Kendrick fans. People, in general, will just have listened to that song because it became big but they dont got more attachment than that to the situation. They dont really care. They just played that song for a couple of months, because it was being played a lot and people were talking about the beef.

Over 300 would not be terrible but below expectations, based on if you thought social media hype and the beef would generate a lot of albums sales. Type of predictions that was wrong, just like when it came to the election.

But he will catch a second wind with Grammys and SB though. That will spike numbers.

Go on Tour.

They said the same thing in their latest pod episode and they're setting him up because the album isn't doing anything close to this.

Good to see the excuses flying already.

just want to highlight

we have seen ZERO tweets about this breaking or coming close to any day 1 streaming records

surprise drop westcoast album with a bunch of no name features

anything above 250k is a big W

295k

I don’t even get what are the sales
Don’t people stream everything ?
Why buy a digital album ?

325k trust me

I think it’s gonna do 500k. Believe

we are not gonna let ya'll forget the last 10 months of build up for kendrick's most anticipated album of his career to playdown that it's undperforming expectations because its mid again

--- started the year largest feature dissing drake
--- huge beef that made him a household name across the world
--- record breaking diss track, largest song of his whole career
--- pop out concert
--- superbowl announcement
--- every brand and nba team tweeting mustard

if this s*** don't do more than FATD (drake's lowest rap solo) then he fumbled the bag

10 million

Gunna section?

The crying we would’ve got if that happened

Been telling this thread honestly nevermind is the base

Surprise drop from a mainstream hip hop artist in the streaming era with no physicals

That album did like 203k.

That’s the baseline

400k!?

Fam it’s 12 f***ing tracks lmfao.

All the other record breakers had at least 8 more tracks lol

This gotta b a miscalculation. Ik it’s a classic but still

could someone break this down for me

400k sounds like way too high for a surprise drop, that would be huge
