Weird how insistent y'all are that numbers don't matter... in a thread specifically made to discuss numbers. And how y'all are losing your minds trying to use the performance of this album to establish that sales don't matter. What are y'all so afraid of?
They do. They always have and they always will. Are they everything? No. But they are something. The masses didn't f*** with this Drake album, Kendrick's album and the Weeknd's album. If one flopped then they all flopped. So now don't come at me saying I'm coping. I'm not. But what y'all aren't gonna do is try to pass off a lie that numbers don't matter for established mainstream acts.
You wanna focus on just the music? That's fine as well. But numbers will always matter.
So let me say it now: Drake's latest album flopped, based on its first week numbers. But that don't mean Kendrick's album didn't flop as well lmao. Agree on that so we can move on.

You spent literally a week in here responding to anyone who liked MM&TBS and didn’t care about the sales with a copium frog.
Kendrick flopped. Drake flopped.
S*** is funny. I agree. Drake flopped to hell and back with this album. Now what?
We don’t care we still going
“Yawn FM!”
“Mr Banal and the Mid Steppers”
Drake: 210-230k
… Honestly, Nevermind
they really made all those corny nicknames just to sell 200k themselves
Difference between me and the midsteppers is I'm not coping and insisting a flop isn't a flop. I'm admitting it now. DRAKE'S ALBUM FLOPPPPPPPPPPPEDDDDDDD. THERE. WHAT ELSE?
Wendrick outsold

A combination of sales projections and acceptance of truth which is inevitably heartbreaking
230K But I will go down with this ship.I won't put my hands up and surrender. There will be no white flag above my door
Yall take this s*** too seriously
@VeggiePablo I need an apology.
I already admitted you were right. If MMBS can outsell HN then sales clearly have no correlation to quality.
I don’t know about yall but I can admit when I’m wrong
It's true. Numbers will ALWAYS matter. However, these are the numbers:

I think I've said too much 😬
