a lesson to pipe down. their boy is a pawn in a game with the big dogs: Drake and Lucien

i just looked it up its thursday most of the time, friday in some cases

which isnt a big difference of a full week

the "tuesday/wednesday" thing has to do with physicals (and moreso how they used to do things) which i thot counted in general along with digital/streams

@suzuki 👋🏽

it's been out for 3 days man can we have this discussion later?

Carter 5 outsold every Kendrick album except DAMN 😂😂😂

The first day numbers that were reported were based off 7 hours of streams, even though the album was released at noon. Which makes me think first day streams would always miss out on some hours of streams if they stop counting at 7 PM

Spotify counts from 12AM UTC which is 7PM EST

Nigga idk or care

They count 24 hrs of streams . They just reported the first 7 hrs sales because they were huge

just looked it up

its mostly thursday, sometimes friday

as i just said to the other user, my mistake was confusing it with physical releases which physicals usually get released tuesday/wednesday - n was a set rule from how physical retailers inventory works

still outsold everything j cole, dondas streams and half of drakes projects tho if it hits this number LOL

might delete with beef hype and it still didnt touch 200k but niggas trying to say cole outsold

and off season hit 280 LOL

so you have 0 awareness of the gravity of your statement?

this is exactly where GNX will sit WITH 325 mil streams, right below J COLES - THE OFF SEASON

They truly hate to see it

Their guy is talking about economic hardships in legal documents

Absolute 0

I was just cleaning carpets, idk what's going on LMAO

Other guy said they stop counting at 7 PM EST because it’s 12AM UTC which is what I’ve been hearing

damn, I guess you won't be making anymore "xxx is a choice" statements cuz oof.

judgment skills are

bigskinny might harm himself over this

idk what youre talking about but off season did 280k fw

Groupie talk...

Billboard Awards and Billboard charts (which Drake groupies love bringing up) are also run by a white institution. Same goes for Spotify which is owned by a white guy pushing fake numbers while yall spend your weekends obsessing over fake stats.

Don’t forget blackface Jimmy used to praise the Grammys like crazy there’s footage of him drinking out of his first trophy. Now that Kendrick’s running laps around Blackface Jimmy yall suddenly hate the Grammys.

Kendrick got done dirty in 2013 when Macklemore took those Grammys. The difference is Kendrick didn’t complain while sissy boy Drake hass been whining nonstop like a b**** every time he’s not nominated.

Okay, wait. None of this is true lmao.

Mr. Morale only had streaming units and digital downloads, same as GNX.

Mr. Morale debuted with 343 million streams. It sold 295K first week. 258K in streaming units and 35K in digital downloads.

GNX, as of right now, is projected to debut with 325 million streams. Projected to do 291K total first week. 260K in streaming units and 30K in digital downloads.

So the albums are performing pretty similarly at face value.

But you have to take into account the sales climate of May 2022 vs. the sales climate right now.

Also, the fact that Mr. Morale was Kendrick’s heavily anticipated return album and actually rolled out properly, whereas GNX, while heavily anticipated as well, was a surprise release that dropped literally out of nowhere.

To sum it up, the raw numbers are the same yes, but I think GNX’s numbers are a lot more impressive when you take context into account

these are streaming first week.

keep up, i know u just learned tracking weeks are friday - friday

not like he couldn't have rolled this out. What happens when he eventually drops again with a proper rollout and it does <300k?

This is the highest streaming rap project of the year. It might also be the highest streaming surprise drop of all time but I’m too lazy to confirm.

There's a sales thread.
