    Physicals are just dead though. Streaming numbers don't translate to the numbers you're saying. Scorpion did 570k off album equivalent sales with 25 songs

    yea no way he doing more than 600

    They should’ve never allowed bundles to count

    Any “artist” that is in music purely for money is not an artist

    It’s called show BUSINESS nigga

    A lot of people aren’t fw this album?? Who?? Who??

    Most of KTT from what I've seen. Also, it's a bad sign when there aren't any songs that instantly pop out on the album. I don't see any discussion about any particular song which usually means the album was average

    theres no such thing as an album stream so yea

    I mean previous streaming numbers leading up to the album. That just factors in for certification right? Like the bs French did with including no shopping

    1. Taylor did 846k with her first new big album, usual first week numbers for her (this was during the pandemic btw). Her following album only did so much less cause it was a sister album, so why would it do crazy numbers. Then she does 291k with the re-release of a 13 year old album. Therefore Taylor doesn’t add credence to what you’re saying

    2. Cole is projected to do 280k-310k (without physical sales). KOD - 397k, 4YEO - 492k (363k pure) after FHD, which did 371k, then Born Sinner and Sideline Story which did 297k and 218k respectively. It looks like the 280k-310k range given the lack of a real single + the pandemic + lack of physicals + the climate makes for a first week that aligns with what Cole usually does first week

    ...so in what way does Taylor and Cole doing their usual numbers (impressively so I might add) lend to the notion that Kendrick’s first week numbers will be a disappointment?

    Well said

    The Fall Off is gonna be his album just like CLB was suppose to be drake’s real album. Neither Dark Lane nor Off Season are real deal releases.

    I'm basing it on how much the lack of physicals have affected Cole and Taylor..DAMN. did more than 50 percent physicals. I don't think he will get close.

    But I would be happy if he did

    more songs ≠ more streams

    7 songs make majority of scorpion streams

    Shipping early is what they usually did before streaming and s*** got leaked all time. Rodeo is an example of this. And it's a lot easier to find leaks now so it would be a big hit

    as far as i know, billie and olivia rodrigo will have physicals ready to ship out the week their albums come out. if either of them leak as a result of it then i'll have to give you props.

    This isn’t as indicative of the music climate in general given this is around that usual Cole range

    He’s pretty consistent in fw sales

    Yeah this is what Cole normally does
