Its because alotta artists wouldnt ship physicals til month/years later (Frank Ocean) or just cancel the shipments all together
That’s different though. The Frank ones never specified a specific ship date and they kept delaying. If the artist is selling a pre order and specifies to the customer “ships in 4-5 months” or “ships by X date”, why should it not count towards that first week?
Especially in a time where Covid greatly slowed down vinyl production
in all srsness this great considering how f***ing hard it is to do numbers nowadays lol
They need to change the formula, it's impossible to do huge numbers these days man
Papi angels are mad shook lmao
You the only one shook my guy
You been bringing drake up for no reason
His dumbass stans were saying 600k too
Yeah too you think anyone expected the album to sound like that
After the album dropped, anybody who said he’ll be close to Drake’s numbers were/are delusional
It’s just not that type of album…
Kendrick Stan’s said he was gonna outsell clb
absolutely nobody said this
why are drake stans so f***ing dumb
Didn't even notice 
and Donda dropped on a Sunday so he missed out on the 2 biggest streaming days
Donda would have sold 980k with a full week. Oh well
absolutely nobody said this
why are drake stans so f***ing dumb
Well they said it would outsell Scorpion actually
His dumbass stans were saying 600k too
To be fair, that was before anybody knew what it’ll sound like
