yb x rtk did 19k
Man that s*** flopped lmao YB tape with Birdman did more than his with Rich the Kid
Tides are turning. Idk if YB has ever sold this much despite all his past projects outselling Durk’s. Not a good look for YB tbh
He has 2 albums 120k+
edit: didnt see new msg
generally yeah but then you got situations where people like thug flop but they still did 90k or so
it’s varied
It’s all situational. First week sales are just how much hype for that particular album. I don’t think it defines the status of the artist.
Like with Punk thug sold 90k but it would’ve sold more if he didn’t cut the hype in half by dropping SL2(123k) 5 months earlier
DawnFM sold 150k but Weeknd is the definition of a megastar
i told u multiple times where they rank compared to the other songs on his album on the Spotify chart, you can pull up the exact streams for yourself
3 out of his top4 on the Spotify chart are features
Hold on then 🙄

I looked and spotify streams were really low. The songs with feature werent that much higher. On apple music where most of his streams are coming from he occupies 17 out of top 18... he wouldve done that without the morgan wallen feat which is his 3rd lowest.
Why do y’all have to bring YB into everything involving Durk.
This is Durks biggest week of his career. YB been there and done that already twice. And did it once as a 19 year old kid
I mean Kanye is mostly spectacle, people tune in first week after he has months of fake beefs and staged psychotic episodes.
He hasn’t made (or rather his ghost writers) havent made good music in years. Not really a fair comparison
You couldn’t sound like more of a hater if you tried

I remember him in the og Donda sales thread saying he was gonna do like 120k
Kanye still up there w the top niggas in the game even though his first album came out 18 years ago. That’s gotta hurt if you’re a hater of his lol

Yeah he went crazy in the clb Donda Cold War days
Very obvious that Kanye has had a jump up in relevancy culturally and musically back to something around 2016 and Donda connected very well generally with listeners compared to ye and JIK let’s just hope he cleans up Donda 2 for when it releases to streaming inevitably so the run can continue

DawnFM sold 150k but Weeknd is the definition of a megastar
What are first week sales if they're not defined by the status of the artist? from what we've seen first week sales = ENTIRELY hype, t's nothing about the quality of the music
The Weeknd isn't a megastar, he would have sold way more than 150k if he was. Dawn FM wouldn't be getting outsold by 9 month old Planet Her/SOUR or The Highlights if he was a megastar. He's a "megastar" in name only, his music isn't popular enough to be labeled a megastar

He’s doing a stadium tour. How is he not a megastar?

I don't think that tour is gonna be a sell out, LA sold out but the other cities are gonna struggle badly. We'll see though, I'd love to be wrong lol. If he does sell it out he's 100% a superstar
just feels weird as hell to label an artist selling 150k a superstar. If he's a superstar what the hell are Taylor/Drake/Kendrick doing 3-4x that?
With no features while in jail and couldn’t promo
Take Morgan wallen Future and gunna songs off and what would his sales be
Goat
So what y'all fav songs on this album?
Mine is No Interviews
Golden child & what happen to virgil.

I mean prince in the mid 80s went from purple reign and around the world, two number one smashes and then dropped parade which came in at number 3. Was he not a megastar?

First week sales are mostly how anticipated a project is. If adele dropped another album 6 months after she dropped her last she wouldn’t do half her normal sales. Does that change her status?
Agree to disagree on The Weeknd. Don’t want this thread to turn into a Weeknd bashing thread
