Travis still sells like 250K-ish with Utopia without bundles

I really don't know why ppl try to diminish him for leveraging his personal brand with artist merchandise that happens to be amongst the best selling in the industry

For Utopia, not really. Only thing he did that Travis didn’t was the multiple covers

you just said it yourself, a surprise project lol

very different to an album that has been teased for 5 years now

and digital albums... trav sold like 130k of those alone lol

Bout to buy the album

In my experience it’s usually just Drake fans that care. Nobody else that’s normal really gives s*** about bundles

175M in 2016: Impressive

146M with a 6 track surprise drop in 2018: VERY impressive

221M in 2020: Not that impressive at all 😬

tbh i think digital deluxes (which yeat did) are way more cheap of a practice than merchandise bundles

especially if those tracks eventually end up on streaming

Tyler doing 250K with an album he just dropped on a Monday after two weeks of promo is way more impressive than whatever Cole is about to sell with that next album

In what world is 221 not impressive

ah nvm

Rod wave, Glo and BigX albums still performing hella well. Listen to those albums if u guys haven't, they're amazing

bigx sold 40k like 3 weeks in a row lol thats crazy

the world were sza did 404m

In this world bro.

I’m pretty sure there are like 10 artists who have had bigger streaming weeks than that

also considering the fact that MDM did 146M streams as an EP and a surprise drop in 2018 you would expect After Hours to get at least somewhere between 350-400M

he literally had no growth at all in that regard

If she keeps it up, she will be bigger than Meg within a year.

It was in 2020 right when the pandemic crippled everything and streams were down

Most pop artists are not having major debut streaming weeks.

Go look at all of the highest streaming weeks ever.

The only pop artists in the top 25 are Taylor, Morgan, and Post Malone (and SZA if you wanna call her pop).

Huge streaming debuts is something that’s dominated by rap music. The vast majority of the highest streaming weeks ever are rap albums.

Even huge pop albums like thank u, next and Harry’s House only had debut streaming weeks of 307 million and 247 million, respectively

It’s not even that, pop artists just don’t have crazy streaming weeks (in GENERAL, there are still the exceptions like Taylor and Morgan Wallen and such)

The vast majority of highest streaming weeks ever are rap albums, not pop albums, and The Weeknd has been a full fledged pop artist since After Hours.

Post Malone and Ariana Grande still did 300M+ tho. big acts still did massive numbers regardless

Way more than 10

Ur talking about that toothache album?
