Again, that’s diminishing great achievements just because these artists have accomplished things even more remarkable than that.
An album going platinum in less than a year is always something to be celebrated, no matter who we’re talking about
It's still a great accomplishment but I dunno it feels off to me cause an artist like Sexxy Redd going plat with an album would be absolutely crazy, but Drake doing it is like "cool"
it's def still on spotify but wtf, the song is fine lol
Never forget this thread started as a Kendrick hate thread and then OP was forced to actually turn it into a side job that’s she gets paid no money to update every day

debuts where cause its not first week on all platforms or Scorpion would be #1 for USA.

billboard.com/pro/travis-scott-sold-utopia-vinyl-5-dollars-loss
What made Scott’s record rollout unusual was that some Utopia vinyl was available for $5 — both through bundle deals, where fans could get a record at that low price if they bought more than $120 worth of merchandise, and some stand-alone copies via discount codes. At that price, many in the industry believe the rapper was not making a profit. One manager who spoke on the condition of anonymity says he was recently quoted around $7 a unit to manufacture an order of double vinyl. In a senior executive’s experience, “it costs $4 to make a single LP if it’s super bare-bones and you’re making a high quantity,” and more for a double LP. Throw in mechanical royalties, typically paid out on records at a rate of 12 cents per song, and it’s hard to imagine that a $5 double-record could make any money.

The desperation to keep up the image that he’s a top tier rapper is crazyyyyy
He’s gonna have to keep doing this the rest of his career lol

Now let’s factor in weekly consumption without his bundles 😚
Big rapper for sure, but he lies to inflate how consistently his music is being consumed

He broke the record for most monthly Spotify listeners for a rapper ever like two weeks after that album came out.
But sure, go off I guess

We hear about a new Spotify record every 6 months so I’m not impressed.
He’s a big rapper, huge commercially and has the endorsements and shows to prove it
He also leverages bundles to give a false image for his albums so they don’t fall off a cliff like the pink tape did
