    And also, this Super Bowl boost for Kendrick is extremely abnormal. When’s the last Halftime performer that was receiving THIS much of a boost basically a full week after the performance?

    Not really it happened for everyones discog. Usher went from 38k first week to 90k cause of Superbowl.

    Dog. We’re a week after the performance and Kendrick still has two songs pulling in 10M+ each on Global Spotify.

    A week after Usher’s performance the only song he had on the Spotify Chart was Yeah! at #98 doing 1.6M

    I don’t think so. We’re ten years into the streaming era, bigger acts than Kendrick have done the Halftime, and we’ve never seen any of them have this long of a boost post-performance. It’s abnormal

    This doing 250K?

    Percentage wise the increases are about the same.

    Kendrick has 4 songs in the Top 10 on Spotify still a week after the performance. Usher literally had one song at #98 a week afterwards. It’s not the same at all

    GNX is still getting almost 30M streams a day. It could outsream Drake’s new album by tomorrow

    The fact that you have to skip over all other artists and get to MJ should tell you everything… that’s how insane this boost has been

    Like that’s what I’m saying

    If the bar is MICHAEL JACKSON then clearly this boost is not normal lmao.

    This boost should’ve stopped by like Tuesday or Wednesday of this past week

    Man, I’m surprised how low these first day #s are for this Drake and PND album, especially with all the marketing it’s had.

    What marketing?

    Who’s a bigger and more popular act than current kendrick lamar rn?

    He’s getting atleast 50k in digital album sales, would not be shocked at 100k

    He has a massive fanbase that is very motivated to buy the album.

    You're saying this based on what exactly?

    And Honestly, Nevermind debuted with 31.7M US. Looks like $$$4U will be a similar first week performance

    But according to you, me predicting 200k was me low-balling

    Scorpion did 160K in digital sales. It’s not doing anywhere near that.

    Also, the “stans” doing that are just a loud minority on Twitter and also don’t realize that anything over 1 digital copy per person doesn’t even count

    Yea its like 100 of them. I honestly thought there would be more but no one actually buying they just liking tweets saying to buy and stream.

    Think yall just (and that “superstar thread” is proof) underestimating how popular and big Kendrick Lamar is rn.

    But this is one of the dumbest & worse threads on here so thats par for the course.
