    I don’t get what it’s trying to say, though? Dua’s popularity has grown exponentially. Future Nostalgia’s first week wasn’t big at all but by the end of that year it had sold millions and was even more popular the following year. It’s one of the most streamed albums ever on Spotify.

    If true, then I assume the album did much better overall than Ari’s last right? That would be the perfect rebuttal to that stat

    That first week sales are not indicative of an album’s success. People on here are so quick to rush to calling things a flop without giving it time to breathe.

    Ideally they should aim for longevity but Ariana wants a big week. She just now dropped the "slightly deluxe" with 4 additional songs and posted it on her fan account immediately

    This is exactly what ScHoolboy Q was talking about with artists and labels killing the deluxe

    They’ll have no rebuttal for this lol

    Yep. You have to know when to pick your battles on here and it's beneath me to explain why bringing up a 4 year old Dua album is not indicative for what she'll sell today. And I said "if" I'm not saying it's a guarantee

    to be fair, drake has had a few songs with staying power this decade (laugh now, cry later, wait 4 u, and rich flex), but yeah for the most part he has been racking up these one week wonders.

    I don’t think that’s how pop music works. Rollout is more important than the music “quality”, which is subjective. It was clear weeks ago that the hype just wasn’t there for this project. Anyone could’ve told you it was already a flop before it dropped

    The music is all that matters because that's what people will be listening to for years to come. You can have the most bombastic rollout ever. If the music is trash or perceived to be trash, people won't return to it.

    I was curious so I counted and Drake has 128 songs that have spent 10+ weeks on the Hot 100, which is undoubtedly more than anyone else on the list. I think this narrative is a bit tired atp

    While this is 100% true, and I agree with you, it doesn’t change the fact that Carnival is still bigger than any Drake song from the 2020s
