Ohhh that makes sense

It has over 2.9 billion across all versions.

Not a single artist has ever had their streams increase into Tuesday after the Super Bowl after their half time performance in the history of Spotify charts

peekaboo slowly being a new hit

I think it will do 400k. Or in the 350-450k range. Yes, normally a collab album does worse than a solo album. But this album is in a special position. Its the first post beef Drake album. I think a lot of people will check it out, even if it is just to find some Kendrick bars or hate on it on social media.

The question is will it be able to retain listeners or lose them fast.I am confident that Drake will have at least one hit on the album which will go viral. He has an ear for these things. That’s why I am saying that at worst it will do 350k and with good wom, 450k

greatest of all time

So 12 million global streams with 4 million of those being from the US.

But Mangoflu told me NLU wasn’t big outside the US

You have some good call outs but I want to point out that not all form of music is consumed through streaming. There is a huge aspect of social music listening, atleast in America. I know plenty of people who do not listen to music day to day but go out to listen to music at bars and clubs every weekend. That's their only form of consumption. Maybe it's hard to understand culturally but we have people going out of their way to listen to artists and go to venues who may never consume music traditionally.

And that is a good portion of the population from 18-35 here.

I doubt it unless theres physicals and more rap on it then we think.

Has Drake confirmed that it’s a straight R&B album? Because I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some songs on there where Party does a hook with Drake just straight rapping

We don't actually know. But people assume it will be more r&b and party could even be majority of vocals.

Not like us earned its second biggest day ever yesterday

Luther can wait a bit longer for #1. It’ll have crazy longevity while NLU will probably drop faster so I hope NLU gets #1 this week.

Luther will end up being Kendrick’s most streamed song when it’s all said and done. It's been out for two months and is already at nearly 500M streams. Dope MV would take it to another level.

Kendrick really dropped his One Dance (Luther) and God’s Plan (NLU) back to back 13 years into his career.

Also All The Stars just passed 2 billion streams today. HUMBLE. is at 2.5 billion and "Money Trees will also pass 2 billion this year. Pretty impressive.

If Kendrick does drop a deluxe Friday, would that be enough to suck all the air out of the room?

141 songs on Spotify have 2 billion streams or more

Longevity matters way more than peak performance.

Billie Jean has more streams on Spotify than Old Town Road, and it released in 1982

WAP has 1 million streams less than Old Town Road, and the two songs released within one year of each other.

You’re arguing that Old Town Road is the biggest song of the streaming era, but that WAP became forgotten about quickly. Your own arguments aren’t even consistent in logic

Flawed metric

people really tryna use charts are tiers

Michael Jackson's team had to hire actors to pretend to be regular people so he could walk around a mall.

Aint no one MJ tier and there won't be another person that will come close.

Hope he doesn’t

Kendrick is blowing up in Mexico

“B-but Old Town Road was #1 the longest!!”

Billboard themselves literally recognize Blinding Lights as the song that was most successful in the history of the chart, and it didn’t have no “weeks at #1” record. It’s a meaningless metric
