A Mediation On The State of Aubrey Graham's Album Sales In 2022
Written by thegreatdivine

Chapter 1:

Posting a gazillion times mocking Drake's sales while also saying "lol sales don't matter, we're just trolling y'all to let y'all know that." Nah. Stick with it. It's cool.

Sales will always matter for an established mainstream act, especially when it comes to knowing what the masses are f***ing with. What Drake's numbers shows is that not as many of his fans are f***ing with this album, which is something I knew would happen as soon as I heard it. Y'all not about to change the narrative now. Y'all say Drake flopped? Cool. But Kendrick flopped as well. They both dropped albums the masses didn't care for.

Weird how insistent y'all are that numbers don't matter... in a thread specifically made to discuss numbers. And how y'all are losing your minds trying to use the performance of this album to establish that sales don't matter. What are y'all so afraid of?

The masses didn't f*** with this Drake album, Kendrick's album and the Weeknd's album. If one flopped then they all flopped. So now don't come at me saying I'm coping. I'm not. But what y'all aren't gonna do is try to pass off a lie that numbers don't matter for established mainstream acts.

You wanna focus on just the music? That's fine as well. But numbers will always matter.

So let me say it now: Drake's latest album flopped, based on its first week numbers. But that don't mean Kendrick's album didn't flop as well lmao. Agree on that so we can move on.

Difference between me and the midsteppers is I'm not coping and insisting a flop isn't a flop. I'm admitting it now. DRAKE'S ALBUM FLOPPPPPPPPPPPEDDDDDDD. THERE. WHAT ELSE?

Comeback albums from big acts have always performed better. Dropping consistently harms your chances of success. That's why comeback singles always crack number 1 while the follow up singles flop. Anyone with just a bit of insight into charts know that

The fans who care about albums as bodies of work won. It’s clear those stans only liked Drake because of his high sales at the time.
