CLB is only 9 months old. I doubt that it will be doing as well as Views is when it’s the same age. We will see though.

His Top Songs page on Apple Music, I think it’s actually total streams but if Hotline is that low in total then obviously it’s not being revisited much on Apple Music so the point still stands

It can’t be total streams. There’s no way Wait 4 U has more total streams than One Dance.

From googling, It seems like it updates daily based on what is most played that day. So One Dance being that high so many years later supports my point. (It’s outperforming all of CLB)

First 44 weeks on the Billboard 200
Scorpion:
1-1-1-1-1-2-3-4-3-3-5-4-4-5-8-6-7-7-5-9-8-8-11-10-9-14-6-8-8-11-11-8-8-11-14-12-9-7-12-10-10-11-11-14
Certified Lover Boy:
1-1-1-2-2-1-2-1-2-3-5-3-4-7-9-18-11-6-8-8-7-7-7-4-7-6-8-9-8-7-8-6-6-7-9-10-11-11-11-13-15-14-21-18

And it's that stable without multiple chart hits like Scorpion. 0 active singles in 10 months as well. Off to a great start if you ask me. If people weren't interested in listening to the album almost a year later, it'd have dropped out a long time ago.

Hard to compare eras like that though. 2018 was pre-COVID and a huge year for music with multiple megastars dropping well-performing albums. Drake hasn’t really had the same amount of competition VS. CLB and many big name artists flat out flopped. It’ll be fair to compare down the road when things get back to ‘normal’.

Curious what the Curtain Call 2 predictions are. Also, @thegreatdivine because you probably know, what happens to song streams when an artist drops a greatest hits album, do they stop counting for the original album?

i’m thinking he’s gonna do a 30-40 song tracklist if he’s gonna cover 14 years of music including albums, loosies and features, plus another unreleased song in the tuck

and he’s selling cds, vinyls, autographed vinyls and special box sets

he wants to put up big numbers for sure

Curtain Call 1 had 17 songs. He doesn’t even have 30-40 songs that could be considered anywhere near hits since then. I’m guessing this will have around that number too. Maybe he’ll add other pre-2005 songs though.

Right now, Eminem is charting 2 albums on the Billboard 200 (Curtain Call & the Eminem Show). Adding songs from former albums to another greatest hit album will just bring all the attention to one place. It's easier for fans to go to one album to stream their favorite Eminem songs in the last 15 years. Curtain Call is certified Diamond meaning streams for those songs started counting towards the album as soon as it dropped. I'm guessing the same thing happens with Curtain Calls 2.

Curtain Calls doing at least 200k

if he has room for this song to be on there

then i definitely think he’s not gonna hold back

You're incorrect, if f***ing Yes Indeed was outstreaming Wait For You it'd be #1 on Apple Music

It's based on total streams

So Yes Indeed has more total streams than Drake’s entire discography? And it’s not even #1 on Baby’s top songs. Damn I guess Baby is the king of Apple Music streaming then

Lmao at you switching the subject once proven wrong. Nice try.

Baby & Drake both more relevant than Kanye on Apple Music

wasn't brent predicted at like 120k before

What? I was being sarcastic. There is no way on earth Yes Indeed has more total streams than One Dance.

Baby’s #1 song on AM is Drip Too Hard which has 944 million Spotify streams. One Dance has 2.3 billion Spotify streams. So either Drake does better on Spotify and my original point continues to stand or AM Top Songs is not based on total streams and my point still continues to stand.

Is Hot S*** coming to break Kendrick’s -81 record?

And Drakes

Well you're wrong and wrong again.

Drip Too Hard was #5 on Apple Music's all-time chart in 2020.

Therefore it is likely #1 on Apple Music's all-time now.

Drake did better on Spotify than Apple Music in 2016. In 2022 he does better on Apple Music now.

Jimmy Crooks debuted #1 with 42 million streams, but only did 15 million streams on Spotify first week. That means it did 27 million outside Spotify...

No, I don't think it will break Kendrick's record.

Do you know how a record works?..

Yes. You know Texts Go Green is tied with We Cry Together for the largest drop right?

-81 gang
