Its obvious hyperbole for the headline but the auto addition of a huge & at once free "single" for some reason regulated to a bonus track did add fairly significantly out the gate. It was one of his biggest songs at the time, he would be stupid not to add it.

He might have not thought much of Hotline but obv the public did n loves that s***.

Probably yeah.

They went about jt the right way by credit g the sample and everything to cover their ass but the actual concept definitely (imo) came from Cha Cha

this site is truly full of losers lol

always completely turn on the very artists yall d***ride but whats even more obnoxious is the fact that yall do it collectively and move as a pack

Buddy it did nothing for sales

It only helped with certification

I dont think bundles & multi sales are bad

& i dont "tact'd" on songs personally are bad either, as long as they f*** with the og tracklisting

Personally

idk but i'm streaming the s*** out of it

Bro what we doing lol you at work do yo job blood

How is he a sellout for doing pop songs? Rare songs at that

How much do you get paid for this

and this does not

Niggas get proven wrong and get to trolling

"All these articles misinformed" lmfaoooo

My work is automated via terraform fam, benefits of coding 😊

But seriously tho, you and @Lil_Jimmy have been irrationally upset the last few pages.

I wasn’t here during 2018 but did drake stans get this hurt over the Adidon track

damn why does my Spotify not show the album separated as discs 🤔

the shambles was crazy

Yes it did lol you have to sale to get a certification

Unless you want to play extreme semantics now & regardless its a major chunk of what got that plat fw even if it didnt result in literal dollars in his pockets (which is technically wrong because the algorithm will auto boost him due to Hotline already being a monster smash).

Hotline contributes a good amount. Qnd hes smart for doing so, he peobably personally didnt care for the song but saw the public latch on.

did it with cole back in the day, everyone here loved him and then suddenly he became a snoozefest, now yall starting to like him again

with travis yall shat on him for so many years until rodeo dropped and then suddenly everyone loved him, but soon enough yall turned on him again

list goes on and now its kendrick lmao

tracklist sure don't looked f***ed up to me lol

just start the album over when it's done, its not that hard and mfs did it for a century on vinyl

You were legit saying it only did 1M first week because Hotline Bling was added and linked articles saying the same thing. I'm saying that's a flat out LIE. Why are you now acting like you were just making a slight exaggeration when the whole reason you brought it up was to act like if Hotline Bling wasn't on Views, it would have done like 500k first week.

HOTLINE BLING DIDN'T ADD TO THE NUMBERS VIEWS DID FIRST WEEK. Stop spewing this outright lie. My goodness.

It was 10x whatever this is

sales thread over there too

I can imagine lol

Dudes in this thread absolutely heated over a bonus track

I can only imagine how bad it was with the diss track and blackface pic

Cause he’s doing it to sell
And it’s going to help him sell out tour tickets album sales etc

So he tries to hop on these songs with these big celebrities like Taylor Swift (he is not a fan of Taylor’s music, unlike drake who does features cause he genuinely likes their music and is trying to help the artist) and just further proves how big of a sellout he can be while portraying this holy do no wrong hip hop savior image
