Again it dropped at such a s***ty time I don't think it's fair to judge the sales like that. Cole is going to do more than DLDT, do you really think that Cole is bigger than Drake? So at the very least Drake's absolute floor is like 350 if everything goes wrong and it's a surprise

LNCL came out in August
DLDT dropped in May

Cole been talking about an album for 2 weeks
Drake got on Instagram 1 hour before release and said here's leak and loosies to hold y'all over till CLB

You missing the entire point.

LNCL coming out in august proves what I'm saying

Drake was in circulation since August and still only did 223K

LNCL not being on DLDT isn't the point.

Cole didn't have ANYTHING in rotation, gave a two week notice, and did 310K. (Or will do)

.... it just has to be listed a certain way man lol. Bundles exist, they just have to be shipped at a certain time and the product also has to be offered separately with a correct price in accordance with the LP price

They don't have to ship at a certain time tho

If you have a $50 tshirt and a $60 t shirt+album, people will buy the cheaper option unless they are just die hard fans

And the die hard fans probably would have bought it on itunes anyway

DLDT a mixtape of old songs and leaks - 1.2 million in one year
KOD album - 1.5 million in 2 years

You don't need of that bullshit when social media does most of the promo for you + a docu + announcements on all his platforms + a freestyle + 1.5 weeks before the album dropped Drake only announced his s*** the same day.

Cole worked on his s*** for years just to barely outsell not even a mixtape, but a DEMO tape.

I'll lock in right now with you that it wont have any big hits either. $200.

Drake and Kendrick could do 500k+ without bundles

Trav could possibly do it too, maybe Kanye if he drops a classic Kanye album

These are all things that boost your profile (on social media and irl) and some more or less, but all directly leading to streams.

I dont care if it has hits. Or that cole worked for years. And any of that other s***.

I care about the facts. The scoreboard doesnt lie. I’m observing the game and recapping this s***. I support both artists equally.

Neither had ideal circumstances but Drake did have more hype around him. Cole came out the blue and that generated more interest than all of Drake’s efforts. That is the truth. Sales reflect it. Idk what’s left to debate over. And more importantly, for what?

They hide the non bundled options in hard to navigate pages on the sites and put the bundles options on the landing page
Weeknd did it, Nav did it, more people did it when it was a thing

It sold less than KOD and probably wont gain consistent streams because a lot of people aren't fukin with this album. I'm thinking long term too
