    YouTube US streams for songs off albums count, yes.

    They count for less right

    It wasn't for me but he did what he set out to do artistically and ultimately, that's really all that matters. It underperformed but he can return next year with an album more in the vein of DAMN. and smash like nothing happened.

    UU was much better and it was an album of leftovers

    This thread is always either Drake stans patting each other on the back for his catalogue doing crazy numbers or Drake stans making excuses for why his album this year isn't selling as well as other major artists' albums

    Yall have a whole section already, do you really need another thread dedicated to d***riding Drake?

    I don't agree but to each his own. I have my 5 songs off MMATBS that I still bump and I'm good with that.

    I’ll take a look. Always thought it was premium stream 1 = 1200 and ad supported 1 ~ 2400

    No. As it stands, for audio streams, there are two tiers:

    TIER 1: premium/paid subscription audio streams (equating 1,250 streams to 1 album unit).

    TIER 2: free/ad-supported audio streams (equating 3,750 streams to 1 album unit).

    Now they're mad Drake's catalog is the strongest amongst his peers and that he's still outselling everyone despite Honestly, Nevermind underperforming

    Insane

    yeah bro this wasn't just a well intentioned sales thread

    this thread was a covert kendrick hate thread, she leveraged it later to be the sales thread

    that's why i have the first post on this thread parroting the same "lol sales dont = quality who cares abt sales" s*** @RedEyeJedi

    I made the thread because on Twitter, a Kendrick stan said he'd do 1M first week since DAMN did 600k and people legit dragged her ass and informed her that times were different now and even the biggest artists weren't doing those numbers. I knew KTT bros would say similar stuff and that's what prompted me to make the thread. I'd have done the same if people were suggesting a new Cole or Drake or Travis or Kanye album would do 1M first week but believe whatever you will.

    on Twitter

    yeah there needs to be a ban on Twitter threads

    Actually had that in the post but I removed it Them whining about marketing and "Let's see Beyonce do these numbers if this and that happened" comes across as so insecure and bitter

    it's insane because he literally helped out on the album like you'd think drake stans would be happy for her

    i guess not

    He dropped a project this year that underperformed and yet, he's outdoing everybody. What does that mean?

    Almost as if stanning Drake has nothing to do with pointing out how gimmicky and desperate her rollout has been.
