    this what yall dont understand. there are no "sides" to this, i think discussing music sales in any context is the worst + laziest possible form of music discussion. i look down on any contributions to threads like these

    Then get the f*** outta here, weirdo.

    I'll never understand people coming into this thread talking about "I hate sales discussions." No one gives a f*** about what you like or don't like so f*** off. Yikes. Some of you are so damn weird.

    It's like it hurts them that people are actively interested in sales discussions. Go make your critical acclaim thread and go over metacritic scores and leave us over here alone.

    Kendrick never became a 500k+ first week standard artist. People - fans and haters alike - need to understand that DAMN was an exception. It was a perfect storm of events: first album to use the goodwill and momentum he built up after TPAB, club banger lead single/buzzworthy video followed by an immediate album release

    I’m sure fans who say Mr Morale did its numbers because of less commercial content have their hearts in the right place. They don’t intend to “excuse” him…but they’re still wrong. A 500k+ first week standard artist is still doing 500k+ first week after a five year wait and high anticipation with that same content

    He simply isn’t that type of artist with that type of demand. Still a superstar but a lot of people here were mislead by nothing more than an exception. Kendrick is typically an upper 300k first week level artist just as Drake is typically an upper 600k level artist

    What are you basing him beinga 300k a week artist on? Kendricks last album from 2017 did just over 600k. With a 5 year wait he should be breaking over 400k in todays climate.

  • I dunno about the streaming numbers but kenny album has been doing really well on youtube if that means anything lol. All the audios have got millions apart from the 2 interludes

    You realize bad bunny is an international superstar and arguably the second biggest artist in the world right? It ain’t like he is about to take an L to Kenny Chesney.

    bab bunny is a latino artist who about to outsell kendrick in engliah speaking usa.

    we have to give Drake his props he dropped a pure rap album CLB and it’s sold really well he’s the only lyricist that can really sell now it’s insane.

    Kendrick isn't a 500k level artist because he's only ever done above 400k once and now he is barely doing 300k.

    You can't be "unbothered" if you've posted more than once itt crying. It doesn't work like that.

    It is because I posted US numbers, not Global numbers. The fact that he's already outdoing Kendrick on Apple Music/Spotify US is VERY noteworthy.

    Bad Bunny has a big US audience though. His US numbers have been increasing every release ever since YHLQMDLG

    Yes, but Kendrick is bigger or at least, he's supposed to be. C-list rappers are still outstreaming Bad Bunny every year in the US so him outdoing Kendrick already is interesting.
