    Eminem has 3. Encore did 710,000 in 3 days and 1.5 million in its first tracking week.

    That means Eminem had a three album run (MMLP, Eminem Show, Encore) where he averaged 1.5 million fw sales (MMLP = 1.7 mil, Eminem Show = 1.3 mil, Encore = 1.5 mil).

    He does lol. Y’all get the internet confused with real life. Drake has a rabid fanbase. They just aren’t the type to get on sites like ktt and he’s not the type to try and get his fanbase to buy keychains, wood statues and 5 of the same CD with different colors.

    You’d think a site like this would appreciate an artist who keeps it about the art 100%. The games that Taylor and weeknd play devalue the art

    "art" when he is the biggest sponsor for a gambling site and has that s*** posted on his IG

    Make no mistake about it bro. If Drake was shameless enough to play the game like these soccer mom pop stars like Abel he could easily have done nocta bundles. 20 dollar nocta durags and other items would have the Drizzyman selling 1.5 million a week

    I'm movin' way too humble
    Weezy had handed it off, I still got no fumbles
    I'm on the hot one hundo, numero uno
    This one ain't come with a bundle

    Bro, Midnights did 160K in digital downloads ALONE.

    You know how much For All The Dogs did? 10K.

    Drake’s fanbase is primarily concerned with streaming his music

    He just had a 1,000$ jacket sell out in 2 hours. Most of Drakerelated drops aren’t limited and have hundreds of thousands of stock. Nocta is doing great. OVO still has stores worldwide doing great with new drops every week. You greatly underestimate how much drake can sell. He can easily sell twice as much merch as trav bc drake goes beyond the kids fashion scene lol. Everyone knows who drake is. My dad bought the 500$ clb heart jacket 😭. And his good friend buys every drop. They’re 45 years old bro and HATE “autotune trav”

    Most of Drakerelated drops aren’t limited and have hundreds of thousands of stock.

    This is not true whatsoever.

    No ones talking about OVO stores and other bullshit. When will y’all understand there’s a difference between album-related media and literal clothing brands?

    My nigga, For All The Dogs did 10K in digital downloads, and Midnights did 160K. It’s two completely different fanbases. Drake fans aren’t concerned with buying Drake music anymore

    physical copies took olivia’s numbers from rod wave territory to the 2nd highest first week of 2023 at the time (302k copies first week, 150k of them being physical) and drake is unfathomably bigger than that

    this is why I wish drake wasn’t so lazy w/ the promo these days. he’s a legit MEGASTAR, he just doesn’t care to act like one. he’s a sales beast

    the fact he sells so much without trying is proof that he can shut s*** down if he put in some effort

    Olivia is a pop star who has cultivated one of those physical/merch obsessed fanbases.

    Drake does not have that type of fanbase in 2023

    dying on the hill of thinking bundles wouldnt really help drake is odd. maybe not get FATD from 400k or whatever to a million, but 400k to 750k seems pretty reasonable. i do get the argument that his fans are rather casual though, but I think that is drake's own doing. he doesn't market any of his stuff at all. if he did i think it would be pretty easy for him to push a large quantity of bundles.

    350K is a big number. I don’t think an artist is going from 10K in digital downloads to 350K with some vinyl and CDs available. That’s ridiculous.

    They brought bundles back, but only for physical copies. Digital download merch bundles are still banned.

    Midnights did 160K in digital downloads alone.
