Drake being a feature or having somebody as a feature helps the other artist(and Drake), but he didn’t birth Durk or Bad Bunny(especially bad bunny)

MIA was/is huge because a) it’s a good song and b) it’s Drake and Bad Bunny, two of the biggest artists, so of course it was going to be huge lmao

i think it's worth noting that kendrick had the highest non-drake debut for any album in spotify history (and i'm willing to guess he had one of the biggest debuts in AM history as well). the hype was there, but the quality wasn't.

what sells more in general?

scarce goods or oversaturated ones?

you're confusing hardcore rap fans up with the mainstream. everyone really into rap knew of Durk years ago. The mainstream didn't. That's literally what Drake/other big features do to these artists. They bring them to the average 18 year old blonde girl's apple airpods.

there's a reason durk was selling 50k fw with his album 3 months prior to LNCL then 4 months later does 90k fw

Does anyone believe drake birthed Durk besides casuals?

bad bunny was not the biggest artist in 2018/his debut album lmao

Morgan Wallen really never gonna leave the top 10

He'll very likely have the biggest album of the decade.

Durk stimulus

classics

You know that it’s far from that simple and depends on a million factors when it comes to music.

Sir they twerking for midrick again, the no shame crew is out

harry slammed down hard

Bad Bunny was one of the biggest with Spanish speakers in 2018, now he’s the biggest

What week is it for him

he's been holding up fine considering how pure sales heavy his first week was. this is like an after hours type of sales trajectory except with actual sales and not bundles. he'll probably stabilize soon.

B No auto and India were as mainstream as it get lol YOU were just sleep. Them songs were literally everywhere. Durk sales were already increasing prior to laugh now. See man y’all gotta stop speaking on s*** when it’s clear you just wasn’t tapped in lol.

Literally people itt think Drake birthed Durk and Bad Bunny

none of us mean actually birthed lol we mean put onto the mainstream. Durk was not a mainstream rapper prior to summer 2020, if you think he was you're insane

Billboard 200 top 10 this week:

I don’t listen to bb so I can’t speak on that but anyone on ktt1 remembers when Durk blew up

Hell that site was at war st the time you would’ve thought it was GDs vs BDs

That's huge. They're going to argue facts with opinions, but I bet Drizzy is proud of his son Benito

Facts. Like yeah laugh now helped Durk reach casual pop fans momentarily but Durk put the work in himself and made all the right plays and returned with fire music to get himself back on.

Increasing? he did 44k in 2019, 57k 6 months later in 2020 and then received the drake Stimmy and went to 90k

No Auto and India were not everywhere, everywhere results in 100s of millions of streams. Neither of those songs have that

Crazy story remix came out in 2019 vro
