Its annoyingly catchy and uses sounds already familiar with listeners

The other songs would be streamed more if it was shorter imo. People are spreading their streams across 30 songs instead of 20.

Just looking at spotify for the 33 track version its at about 6.4 billion. the bottom 13 songs are about 1 billion. Thats are marginal difference in grand scheme of things.

An album with less songs would give you more streams per track. The time people have to listen to music doesnt change based on album length.

There is absolutely zero chance that One Thing would be at 8 million sold in 48 months if it wasn’t 36 tracks long. Come on man.

The “less songs equals more streams per track” thing is always bullshit when you take a quick glance at the highest streaming weeks ever. Vast majority are all 20+ song projects.

If the major players started dropping 30 song albums consistently, the numbers would be even higher

Yeah not sure why this is in even an argument, the lowest song on GNX did 4M on first friday it was released. Especially folks listening to album for the first time will check it out all the songs and a lot of people never go back to the album.

The initial numbers will always favor more tracks. Overtime it most liked songs recalibrate but there are people still going out of their way to listen to Gloria and GNX.

It’s relatable. Anxiety at an all time high.

It would still be at around 7 million.

Obviously more songs helps numbers but my argument is once you pass 20 tracks its not that much of a difference.

Like do you you really think the numbers would be way more if it was 50 tracks?

Heartbreak on a full moon is 57 songs and 5 songs are 1 billion of the 2.3 billion streams ☠️

overtime it evens out

But in the beginning people listen to all the s*** and want to listen to it, someone who wants to listen to the album 2x and after that focus on 1-2 song instead of 30 is giving 60 song listens if album was 30 songs vs 30 song listens if album was 15 songs. A week later both might still listen to 1-2 songs only but initially you doubled the streams.

I see what you are saying, I think in the log run a 30 song album will only have 10-15% more bump than a 15-20 song album but first week or two the percentage is bigger because the cream of the crop hasn't reached to the top yet.

For example when GNX came out, Gloria had 2M US streams because people wanted to listen to the whole album, the top song at the time (squabble up) had 4M. So even in the beginning out of curiosity least listened to song was getting 50% of the streams as the top streamed song.

Now Luther is getting 2M and Gloria is probably getting 300k streams. It has evened out and the gap will continue to grow but in the beginning having more songs will help drive up the numbers.

Also, Carti (or anyone else) can literally put out a blank song with no sound and attach it to the album and this will get millions of listens first week before dwindling.

Wow

That means people like and we're getting old. Lol

I'm a big of Doechii, but that song doesn't almost nothing for me..... background music that doesn't annoy me but does appeal to me either

Not a good update on carti AM streams, Luther went from 11 back to 9 already

That is still a good hold. Luther is bringing in 2M streams a day in US.

King

Unless AK got an update from early in the morning this dont seem good either if it did 139 mill first day

Why did he say “even $$$4u” when its first week performance was the lowest of the projects listed

well if he’s correct about it outpacing gnx then that shouldn’t be a bad sign

Top 5 soon 😮‍💨

what a fall off damn
he used to have multiple top 5s with each drop.

going from hitmaker to praying for a top 5 is nuts ngl

Means nothing

Damn didn't realize Backdoor had Jhene on it

Going to be close depending on how the week goes

this is the quick decline i have seen on Apple Music
