the deluxe does yes

No it doesnt LMFAO

I think baby and durk fanbases overlap a lil too much for their solos to be THAT much of an increase. I think baby will sell more than this and durk probably lower

it literally does are u blind it says 5 million

They literally took the certification of the album off. Show me proof the album went 5x platinum before streams. I'll wait

He dropped 3 projects in 2018 and that only helped him. We could do a friendly wager that his next solo projects will be his best first week !

Why would they take the certification off if the album was certified? Im waiting

I agree that these are respectable numbers and definitely not an underperformance..

If I'm not mistaken 21 Savage and Metro did 173,000 last October with Savage Mode II and that was a clear win, however juxtaposed with these two being the clear hottest out of the genre atm I could see why people are a lil underwhelmed.

Yeah I know, I saw stats last year that had it around 3.5M it’s probably 4x platinum by now.

Yup probably 4xplatinum

i never said it went 5x platinum before streams 💀💀 i said its 5x platinum and u said it's removed...

Ahh so like I said, 5x platinum in 2020. After streams. Which is what I said and you disputed

i said that and u said its removed 💀💀

You're dumb lol.

IYRTITL/WATTBA weren't the projects people wanted/were expecting from Drake. People were anticipating and waiting to throw their support behind Views.

WATTBA possibly doing over 450K SPS with a full tracking week isn't a dropoff when it would have been Drake's second release in a year where he had just released a mixtape 7 months prior and he still had an album to release 7 months later.

Use a more recent example of how Justin Timberlake dropped 2 albums in the same year. First one did 968K, second did 350K.

2018 is irrelevant he was still fighting for a spot. Now he’s the guy and is everywhere.

People already saying he uses the same flow.

His next album prob will be his best FW but it won’t make the jump the the 300k range like it could have if he didn’t drop this.

shout out to 21 for casually pulling these types of numbers on an off year with no hits.

Read my initial post bruh. You tried to argue against me saying it went 5x plat after streams

Lil Baby next album will probably have 35 songs on it when it's all said and done.

really interested to see how polo does next week, he should have a much bigger splash on spotify

"and the certification is removed"

This is more than Durk’s ever sold and only a bit below My Turn sales. Big W

Link what you saw if you can.

It's on par with 21's Savage Mode II w/metro boomin, which pulled 173,000 ..it's respectable, not sure about a 'big w' though.

You are making excuses. People want drake projects. Drake dropping a surprise project during the height of his career doesnt change this. Just because drake told us about an album doesn't mean we didnt want other albums. Are you really going with this argument

It is a dropoff. Drake did 700k with NWTS. You even said it would have done more if it had a week and it still wouldn't have done 700k according to what you said. That is a DROPOFF. Nobody wanted durk and baby either so according to your logic, people are waiting and anticipating No Auto Durk and Baby's 3rd album. This is a joint project they just told us they were doing. Stop it.

You clearly missed the argument with 2 albums by bringing up JT.
