anybody who drops this month got finessed lol could’ve waited

This raises the first week projections for Iceman

😂

You can at least still compare total streams and pure

Right, but the number will be higher than what it would’ve been before these rule changes. That’ll definitely positively affect the #1 artist on streaming

They also increased weight of youtube. That should help YB a lot and othe artists who who do a lot of music videos.

Drake stimulus!

Damn even if he wouldve waited for the rule change it still wouldve flopped

a seismic shift in the cultural landscape. three straight solo albums over 130k from 2018 to 2024 and then 2025 happens and he's a 50k first week artist.

Iceman gonna do numbers.

Was gonna do them regardless, but he’s most likely gonna do more than CLB

The change is not THAT drastic lmao, he’s not clearing CLB numbers at all

There’s just nothing exciting about 21 savage music. After Savage Mode 2 and Her loss he showed all of his skills as a rapper.

Damn.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STREAMS?

Sales don’t always equal quality but this is clearly a case of weak word of mouth contributing to lack of sales

if he made better music it would’ve sold more

ICEMAN GOT THEM SICK ALREADY WITH EXCUSES. Can’t wait for it to release lmaooo

this a huge drop from his 2024 album...

21 doing less than half of Lil Wayne and Clipse in 2025 not on my bingo card

21 must be near the end of his deal because his label didn’t promote this at all and this was his lowest quality album too.

Factoring in both of those things I knew the sales were going to be low.

Where is the excuse? Do you think this rule change isn’t going to benefit Drake?

53K units for a major hip-hop artist with features from Drake, Lil Baby, etc. is horrendous no matter what you say, I'm honestly very shocked

Same
Thought he’d do more. Maybe he actually puts in effort into his next album and doesn’t drop the his weak low level trash

this is a lie lol, Drake stimmy means you’ll have a top 15 hit.

They just make up new narratives as they go along

Drake still flopping even with this streaming update, I don’t believe he can give quality music.

it used to

not anymore

Wayne doing 480k first week and 433 million streams when youtube didnt count
