    Mr Morale simply doesn’t have a:

    Swimming Pools
    Humble/Loyalty/DNA
    Alright/King Kunta
    Luther/TV Off/Squabble Up

    Like not even close (if we’re talking song composition and catchiness). I think that sums up its performance compared to other more commercially viable Kendrick efforts

    6/18 is more than enough
    Most albums coast on BB200 on less songs being more popular

    He listed off 6 songs and acted like there aren't albums that have done damage with much less lmao.

    I think Mr. Morale suffered from too long a gestation period. Kendrick doesn't usually take too long to finish projects. People forget that we got Overly Dedicated, Section.80 and GKMC from 2010-2012. He started cooking up TPAB in 2014 and was done by early 2015. DAMN was finished within a year and he did the Black Panther soundtrack within a few months.

    He simply missed the mark with Mr. Morale. It wasn't that he was exploring topics and themes on that album that were too complex for casual listeners to grasp, especially not his own fans. He just so happened to come away with songs that weren't compelling enough and people dismissed the album and went back to supporting GKMC/DAMN.

    Why did Nokia get blocked by Luther? It was newer and even had a music video to boost it

    Exponentially more radio support.

    Basically, this. There weren't enough records on the album for fans to keep coming back to it and "records" in this instance doesn't even have to mean radio-friendly songs. Just songs well-structured and compelling enough for fans to keep revisiting.

    Songs dont need to sound like "hits" to do well though.

    Mr Morale currently gets more daily streams than the following according to kworb:

    Nothing Was The Same (Deluxe)
    Dark Lane Demo Tapes
    Her Loss
    If You're Reading This It's Too Late
    Honestly, Nevermind
    For All The Dogs

    Do those albums not have enough RECORDS for fans keep coming back to????

    Those streams aren't enough for the album to chart on the Billboard 200, which proves my point and all but 1 of those albums you listed is actually still charting on the Billboard 200.

    No, it reached #1 on Rhythmic/Urban radio but Pop radio didn't give it enough support and Pop radio is the format with the most audience impressions.

    Radio play is never fair.

    Are you stupid? What album is meant to have sold more? An album that dropped 5 months ago or one that dropped 8 months ago?

    The list was for album sales in 2025. GNX was a 2024 release, $$$4U is a 2025 release. That’s why it’s impressive that GNX has sold more units in 2025

    Why do y’all always pivot to the US-only Billboard 200 when someone brings up Global Spotify daily stats?

    Like cool that it’s doing better in one country, but across the entire planet Mr. Morale is being consumed more on a daily basis than all of those Drake albums

    It was a fun little song for a month or two but people got tired of it quickly. It’s already getting less daily streams than songs that dropped a year+ ago
