Jul 22, 2025You’d think a thread like this would appreciate the why behind an album performing good or bad rather than just resorting to conspiracy theories or looking to straight dunk on someone. The why is always much more interesting than the what
Jul 22, 2025·1 replyTheFaderSome of y’all need to seriously understand what context is.
Tyler JUST CLEARED 200K first week for the first time in his career 7 months ago.
Drake has never dropped a new project that debuted with less than 200K
These niggas are in two different stratospheres of commercial performance
Idk why you're being dramatic, no ones saying tyler is flopping lol
just that his numbers went down ,like they did for everyone. Even GNX (#1 rap album this year)'s weekly performance has fallen off a cliff in recent months because of the changes

Q3DTheyre hunting HUNTING

You just asked me why I’ve never used excuses for Drake albums, when one, that’s not even true, and two, comparing his numbers to Tyler, the Creator's is genuine insanity

The people they have had to compare Drake to in the last year are hilarious
Guess he's not in a league of his own anymore

The fact a random fictional Netflix series gets legitimate streaming for a K-Pop release after all those K-Pop artists been trying to have legitimate US mainstream breakthroughs for years

Who the hell compared Tyler's numbers to Drake's?
I'm just saying that excuse of "People didn't tune in as much to the new album because they're still eating of the 9 month old album" is just stupid especially cause I know you don't use the same excuse for other artists.
So many artists commercial peaks were when they were spamming 1-2 albums a year

I actually have used that excuse before
It can work for some artists and some scenarios, other artists it cannot

You kendrick stans are pathetic.
"drake only gets high sales due to playlisting"
lets set the facts straight. Currently on "Rap Caviar" Kendrick has 3 TRACKS a whole ass MONTH after his album released on the playlist, while Drake only has 1 song on the playlist.
Hope this shut's up you midrick fans once and for all, the only reason it got close to 300k was because of its playlisting.
now look at drake. little to 0 playlisting and still doing 200k

UMG was working against Drake even back then

How does it apply to an artist that dropped 14 songs 9 months ago and that album is barely getting play now though?

For Tyler, excluding IGOR, it’s his most successful album at this same juncture: 9 months post-release. CHROMA and IGOR are his only albums to still be in the Top 100 nine months after release.
Keywords: FOR. TYLER.
As in: Con-text.
Jul 22, 2025Didn't care that much for the album, but I'm happy for Tyler. Great numbers.

So the ratio of pure sales to streaming sales is basically the exact same for Travis and Tyler less than a week apart, but one gets the “bundle merchant” criticism yet the other doesn’t

- Jul 22, 2025·2 repliesmangotflu never seen you use these type of excuses for Drake numbers
historically its actually been the opposite, the more an artist drops, the hungrier people are
Drake dropped DLDT in 2020 and then SH2/CLB in 2021 not to mention like a dozen features, when HN, a dance album dropped, niggas were celebrating because it did 204k. They didn't wanna hear that it was a surprise dance album or that Drake had dropped a s*** ton of music already the previous months.
Their logic was: a new Drake album SHOULD do monster numbers just off of Drake's name. Those same people declared Tyler a superstar with Chromakopia but now they have every excuse in the book already lined up to explain why this album isn't matching the success of Chromakopia
It's all so hilarious because I think the album will debut with even higher numbers once the tracking week is done but they're doing the exact same thing they criticized some Drake fans for doing and I'm just calling that out.

DTTG is projected to do more than this and is a house album.
How is DTTG a house album?

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a Divine post that references Honestly, Nevermind and doesn’t include the three magic words
Jul 23, 2025·2 repliesmangotfluYou guys are talking about Travis like he's some underground rapper, wtf
he has more momentum than 2021 thug+gunna combined and doubled, lets be real
ironically i agreed with you pages ago. Spotify/AM simply changed their algorithms and it has f***ed numbers up. IT's nothing to do with listening habits or the album "not being good"

Jul 23, 2025·5 repliesany discussions about charts here are going to run into a wall because there's this 38 year old biracial jewish man and let's just say people here have a LOT of opinions about him.
if you think about it, there is not a single conversation where his specter is not lurking ominously in the background, waiting for his name to be brought up.
