    Also let's stop talking about Kendrick please. Everything that can be said has been said on both sides.

    Nothing to monitor except for the longevity of the project. And that's yet to be seen. That can be an interesting discussion later.

    I actually haven’t listened to it yet. I haven’t really dug deep at all into any Spanish reggaeton music at all tbh lol. Closest I’ve gotten to it is Rosalia. Is bad bunny’s new album a good starting point?

    Measuring how many times an artist sold 500k first week is far more impressive than who sold 3m, since Adele only did it once and then waited 5 years to drop again. It’s a sure sign of her lack of drive.

    Meanwhile, Drake and Swift are dropping at least once every two years and are clearing 500k nearly EACH time. There’s no way of telling if Adele could have pulled that off and she most likely couldn’t have with her type of music.

    Therefore, the real throne of the past 15 years is Drake and Taylor.

    All of his albums are worth checking out tbh. They each have a different sound.

    His most traditional reggaeton focused album is YHLQMDLG. His newest one blends different island sounds together. Perfect summer album.

    I think pulling off a feat no one else has ever come close to doing is far more impressive than one that multiple people have (almost) done. to each their own though

    Both impressive feats nonetheless

    Thread was looking real nice and peaceful in the morning.
    There's a couple of posters that stay in this thread even though you think #'s don't matter.

    Then as soon as anyone brings up Kendrick all the other Kendrick stans show up. Like you're the scouts itt. That's weird.

  • Jun 5, 2022

    post had a strong ass fan base i remember Beerbongs & Bentleys selling 30k A week months after it dropped wtf happened? was this just poorly marketed?

    Doing 500k with mostly pure sales isn't that impressive, doing it off streaming shows people actually listen to the music. Drake is in a class of his own.

    Yes and Scorpion and CLB are some of the only albums to do 1 billion streams first week not Adele or anyone else can say the same

    Kendrick didn’t flop s***

    Anything over 250k is not a flop

    If you said 295k in the Kendrick sales prediction thread you’d have about 20 posters on your ass calling you a f***ing idiot
