YA ICEMAN ACEAny sales counted fw need to ship fw…. Which means they’re getting produced before the album release date…. Which means the album probably leaks online…. Which then diminishes sales and streams upon release. Tricky to guess exactly what it would’ve done to sales. I’m astonished he never bundled when it was dumb easy. He could’ve sold million s with bundles
Edit: did Styles’ album leak early?
Right! Especially with Scorpion, he would’ve had back-to-back albums that sold 1 mil first week

Donda 100% would have at least cleared 450k fw if he dropped on Friday.
An extra two days wouldn't have given him an extra 140k sales, it would've done like 350.

CLB did crazy numbers but the album itself was pure garbage , easily his worst , thats why you cant really count on these fw numbers , objectively big steppers is so much better than clb and im a bigger fan of drake than kendrick

true but it does seem like Ye/JiK were way more commercially quiet for him

this thread gonna be juicy again in 3 weeks when Post Malone doesn't even sell half of his last album
Post has never done 350k off streams why would he now

May 14, 2022ColeWorld905Drake selling more Kendrick and j cole newest albums combined in streaming era. Is absolutely insane
Lol
Kod and damn combined for 1.01 million fw
Scorpion 732k fw
Offseason and Kendrick new album about to 600-610k
It really isn’t. People on here just love to act like Drake isn’t as huge as he is popularity wise.

good point. it's like how rap numbers got so much bigger after streams were counted and piracy died down

Drake never really did bundling right? So thats not the reason for that drop i think?
Kendrick had counting physicals with DAMN. Dude was selling 300k in physicals or so. So thats a logical drop actually
The drop is because Scorpion was a double album

You can’t say that one album is “objectively” better much than another album lmao, that’s not how music and opinions work. Personally I’d agree, but it doesn’t really matter

350k or so is still absolutely insane numbers esp with current billboard rules but ngl thought he'd do a bit higher especially given how long he'd be gone. wonder if he had dropped like 2 years after DAMN what his sales would have been by comparison

He’d literally be the only rap artist left competitive with Drake, sales wise
May 14, 2022·1 replyiHypeKendrick tried to use OJ Simpson, Jussie Smollett, and Kanye pre-album
He used imagery in a music video. Kanye did 3 listening parties and Drake did a meme song
