Which facts are fake?
I was going by this list.

Where do you even find a website like this
This whole list is cap. You could easily Google almost every album on here is certified platinum multiple times. You can't be serious right now

It’s literally the first or second google result for top selling albums of 2010s

Looks like that initial list I posted was either old or wrong. This is obviously more accurate. So you have Views at 9. Still outsold by Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons, Adele, Taylor, and Post Malone. Point remains about being “untouchable”
DAMN. had CDs/vinyls/cassettes ready to go the week it dropped. There was also a bundle package. It was also Kendrick's first album since TPAB so the hype was insane. He definitely deserved that first week and it was super impressive but people tried to make it like Drake was DONE and Kendrick had now officially taken over and that was confusing as hell.
There’s a video of rosenberg trying to convince people that Kendrick passed Drake is popularity based off that era. It was weird

That website says Views has only sold 1.6 million. It sold 1 million in it's first week you can't seriously think it's only sold 600k in the past 5 years. You have got to have no common sense.

It was at 4 million copies by the end of the year and RIAA has it at 6 million sold the last time it was updated.

That list ain't about sales either. Billboard year-end and decade-end charts are calculated based off chart performance, not total sales. You talking all that big s*** in here and really have no clue how any of this works
"On decade-end Hot Songs and Top Albums recaps, titles are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 on weekly charts earning the greatest value and weeks at lower positions earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology and title turnover rates over the decade, certain periods were weighted differently."

BRO You have to be trolling right now, are you new to this?
That's the decade end list based on the billboard album chart position not entirely focused on overall total sales
I'm done responding to you

And chart performance doesn’t correlate with sales?

I think Kendrick could touch 500M streams just off hype but it really depends on the kind of music he comes with.
I'm looking at your biggest streaming weeks thread rn and I just can't see that happening. And he would also have to put out at least 18 songs.
B&B had two #1 hits on before the album came out. I can see it doing around there w/ the hype but not 500.

all you had to do was look at this mans avi and it'd tell you everything you need know about arguing with him.

Ah well, it was good while it lasted
Kendrick fans losing their minds to DAMN's first week sales only exposed that they'd been down bad about Drake outselling everyone and have secretly been hoping that Kendrick also put up numbers.
Kendrick has sold above 400K first week ONCE. Drake has done it SEVEN TIMES. CLB will make it EIGHT TIMES. How anyone is comparing Kendrick to him because ONE album did well still blows my mind. They're not in the same league.
Drake dropped twice in 2015, once in 2016, once in 2017 and once in 2018 and debuted with massive numbers every time. Kendrick has to disappear for 3/4 years after every album to build up hype again.
I'm not even trying to talk down on Kendrick because his run of albums from Section.80 - DAMN. is flawless to me. I still listen to each of those albums religiously till this day and I can't wait for his next album. I'm just saying that the rap world was so tired of Drake that they tried to use DAMN. and Kendrick's performance that year to push a narrative that Drake was done, but the facts are that:
1. Drake outstreamed Kendrick globally in 2017.
2. Drake outstreamed Kendrick in the U.S. in 2017.
3. They both scored 2 top 10 hits in 2017.
4. Overall, globally, Drake was the bigger act in 2017.
But the narratives painted a different picture. I have never and will never compare Kendrick to Drake commercially because Drake has been dominating for way longer and has simply done too much compared to him.
They're both GOATs in their own right and no one does what they do individually better than the next person but the Drake disrespect has gone on for far too long. Kendrick gets his flowers every second of every day while Drake gets nothing despite outdoing him and everyone else at every turn. S*** is wack and unfair.

I think the list is about sales like pure sales and not SPS (sales plus streams).

This list isn't based on sales. Views has sold more than any Post Malone album. If it was based on sales, Adele's 25 album should make the top 10 because it's sold over 10M units in the U.S. It's based on how well your album charts lol. More weeks in the top 10/20 = more charts points = a higher ranking.

I know he felt like a fool in 2018 when Drake thoroughly dominated.

B&B had two #1 hits on before the album came out. I can see it doing around there w/ the hype but not 500.
DAMN. did 341M U.S. streams in it's first week, well 4 years ago. 500M streams isn't impossible. That album performed as well as it did partly because it was his first album since TPAB and the hype was crazy and I think that hype will work for him with his next album.

Humble was also a #2 hit at the time it dropped.
We'll have to wait and see. I'm willing to say he will get 80 - 90 million more streams. But 160 is stretching it for me.
I feel like if he was the second biggest streaming act, it would be undeniable. We would be able to feel it and see it in the #'s, like w/ Post Malone. And I don't feel that necessarily.

With Post Malone, you have to consider that he dropped 2 albums in back to back years. Kendrick has had 4 years to build up hype.
interested to see the numbers adele does with her next album. she is the only artist who might be on drake's level right now in terms of success and popularity
except bts. those guys are just a different world

Adele's strength is pure sales and that's been severely depleted since her last album 6 years ago and she hasn't released nearly enough music in the streaming era to know how well her album will stream. She's more of a wild care right now, especially beyond the first week.
