I think so too or at least 260-285k.

These genre dissertations already annoying asf, they bout to get 10x worse when Bey drops too

That post is silly because it ignores that the albums that had those hits also had mostly rap songs on them lmao.

Let me simplify this for you:

Drake has made non-rap in various genres with massive hits. Drake has made non-rap this time and mega flopped.

Yet those were the hits from the album. That only makes my point stronger

Some of Drake’s biggest hits ever (Passionfruit, Controlla, One Dance, Hold On, We’re Going Home) are nowhere near rap. The whole “rap artist dropping a dance album” cope is not it. Particularly since he was scared to even really commit to a house album and put songs like Sticky and Jimmy Cooks on it. And the other songs aren’t some unique experimentation. They’re just Drake doing his same old love/breakup songs over different production.
It’s a massive flop by all measurements and demonstrates that Drake’s name alone isn’t special enough to supersede industry demand. Drake Stans have been implying that for years and this is a rude awakening for them. As I’ve said many times in this thread, you can’t sell an album successfully unless teenage white girls are a large target demographic.

Thanks for spreading my message y’all. Really appreciate you.

It's not doing well because he made an entire album of non-rap songs save for the last song on the album lmao. More Life was over 50% rap. Same with Views and every other Drake album. I want to believe you're smart enough to understand that it's not the same thing with making an album that's 95% dance.

They haven't played the album. They've spent the last 100 hours of their lives in here trolling lol.

They didn’t

Most fell over themselves to run and get some get back for MMBS

And I don’t even like the album

Given the strength of his other non-rap songs which I mentioned in the other post ,there is absolutely no precedent for a non-rap album from Drake flopping this hard.

No, it doesn't. Dance isn't dancehall, neither is it pop or R&B. Those are all styles Drake fans have gotten used to. He's been making R&B/pop/rap music since So Far Gone. He dipped his toe into dancehall in early 2016 and One Dance just happened to take off. People forget that One Dance wasn't an immediate hit. It debuted at #21 and then went to #3 and then jumped into the top 10 in it's third week lol.

If you think the only people hating on this album are Kendrick stans then I have some bad news for you

Believe whatever you wanna believe, man. When Drake's next rap album drops and outperforms this album, I hope you're here to keep the same energy.

Im literally a drake stan who has been hating on this album get off my nuts lil bro

He just needs that one single imo

People forget that Signs (which was also a dance song) which dropped in 2017, also flopped lol. This ain't nothing new. Drake fans don't want this kind of music from him and he likely knows that. Won't Be Late by Swae Lee featuring Drake? Also flopped lmao. Why? Drake fans don't want dance music from him lol.

If he drops another carbon copy album with 20 features targeting suburban white kids, of course it will outsell. That’s my entire point.

I love this album by the way. It’s my favorite Drake album in years.

Good for you, I guess.

I hope he's got like 2 Drake features on there lol.

More proof Drake makes what he wants and not for streams and hits like the popular narrative they push
