Heavy copium but I'll humor you.

After Hours (14 tracks) - debuted with 220M US streams.

Honestly, Nevermind (14 tracks) - debuted with 250M US streams.

Dawn FM (more tracks, features) - debuted with 173M US streams.

Like when kanye posted global first week sales and had his stans thinking that was his first week in the US 🤣

Never said it wasn’t a big album. The weeknd is still the face of pop music. Just saying it’s also not wrong to say the album was carried by its biggest hits (which is fine btw). Also the debate between which album being bigger (clb vs after hours) is much more of a debate than what yall are saying in here.

scary hours 2 (3 songs) - 125 million

That's always what these niggas have to defer to to make themselves feel like they're putting up bigger numbers. They'll post s*** like "Kanye's album went #1 on Apple Music in 20 more countries than Drake's album, so it's the bigger album!" like that s*** means anything lmao.

Context just doesn’t matter to you at all huh. Just raw numbers. Which number is bigger, that’s all you care about

How does that NOT mean the album is bigger?

Dark Lane Demo Tapes (14 songs) - 269M US streams.
Her Loss (16 songs) - 513M US streams.

What are u even trying to argue lol

Surprise surprise, Drake is the biggest streaming act in music

That After Hours is a bigger album then CLB

I think the main point is we are talking about the US sales/stream when we are saying what is bigger.

You think Donda is bigger than CLB because it went #1 in 20 more countries on Apple Music for like 8 hours?

What makes after hours bigger in the US?

CLB outsold overall and every song is eligible for gold or higher.

Sure, but even then Divine still never concedes that Drake isn’t as big globally as some other artists are. There’s always something else.

If I changed my argument right now to “After Hours is bigger globally (everywhere on the planet including the US) than CLB”, Divine would still have some rebuttal to it

I don’t care about any of that streaming bullshit

There are so many factors that go into it that make it hard to determine which album was actually bigger if you don’t bring up numbers, so what’s the issue with bringing up stats? I also don’t think it’s clear-cut on either side which album was bigger

Alr we finna get to the bottom of this s*** no toilet bowl

Not even that, going #1 in 20 random countries where less than 1M people use Apple Music won't amount to any numbers lmao. That's my point about them using those "stats" to act like Donda was performing better than CLB.

Why do you downplay streaming when it’s convenient for you in arguments, but prop up certain streaming stats when it’s convenient for you in arguments? You flip flop too much. Seems like to you “streaming is bullshit” when you can’t twist the numbers in a way to fit your narrative

I’m not propping up any streaming stats. I’m only resorting to them because it’s the only language they understand

So why didn’t CLB go #1 in those countries then?

But you care about Abel getting lollipops to count towards his album sales, right? That's more reflecting of organic music consumption than real people actually streaming music?

And aren't you the same person who JUST brought up After Hours Spotify STREAMING NUMBERS to make a point about it being the bigger album? Can you make sense for once? Can you stop contradicting yourself?

Fans opening their phones and cutting on the music they like is bullshit but 100+ bundles of whips and chains, lollipops, and scarves on a daily rotating countdown clock accompanying albums is peak music consumption

!!!!!!!!!
