    The question was the highest streaming week for a surprise release ever.

    Someone asked "what's considered a surprise release?"

    And someone said Music to be Murdered By.

    So yes, it has everything to do with what was asked

    No, kroniic said he could only name a few albums that were true surprise releases, and I named another example of a surprise release. it had nothing to do with the previous query of highest streaming week

    Delusion is still believing that Drake is the #1 rapper in November 2024

    since yall love artist's streams so much. google the top streaming artists per month this year. you maybe surprised at who's on top

    Kendrick is currently the biggest rapper in the world. Drake’s next album’s first week numbers are going to be tragic

    I don’t think that’s true

    BUT

    The legal action against Universal is gonna be part of the conversation of every one of Drake’s future releases. if Drake’s next album does underperform numbers wise, all the angels have to say is that UMG is suppressing the real numbers.

    Mmmm thats not what it says, sorry

    anyways

    HOW IS COLES NUMBER LOWER OF HIS FIRST WEEK SALE WHICH ISNT EVEN ALL PURE BUT SOMEHOW MAGICALLY THE SAME TO YOU MY GUY LMAO

    UNLESS THEY CHANGED HOW NUMBERS ARE TRUNCATED FROM THE TWO DIFF RELEASES LMAO

    Not 100% sure what the argument is

    But if its why 325M streams converted differently for Cole vs Kendrick

    Its because 1250 paid streams OR 3750 free streams is an album unit

    Cole must of had more free streams

    Both artists have pure in their unit total

    Cole had 37K pure, not physical

    Kendrick has 30K pure estimated

    Pretty sure Cole didnt have physicals available first week

    • Cole's The Off-Season album sold 282,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, which included 37,000 copies as pure album sales.

    you are right tho, im saying "pure is physical" but it means the digital full album

    coles number is 245,000 streams without the sold individuals

    but somehow the other dude quoting is saying they the same even when they have numbers apart at the 10,000 at the least and 40,000 at the most

    Well Kroniic was asking in reference to the original question, so yes, you response still had to do with it

    And let’s discuss who are the biggest rappers amongst 2024 releases only

    You can’t use back catalog to say who the biggest current rappers are. If that was the case, Eminem is still in the Top 5

    No one is arguing that Drake was once the biggest artist in the world. He had some great eras. Those days are SUPER gone now.

    @deezed is saying coles first week total streams as an individual level is 350mill (idk why but thats where hes straw pulling) which is somehow going to be kendricks total at the end

    even tho cols first week is lower in totality than kendricks - so how does kendrick magically end up exact the same even tho their weeks are totally different unless the way numbers are truncated changed

    (quoting my already post to u for deezed)

    "Cole's The Off-Season album sold 282,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, which included 37,000 copies as pure album sales.
    you are right tho, im saying "pure is physical" but it means the digital full album

    but somehow the other dude quoting is saying they the same even when they have numbers apart at the 10,000 at the least and 40,000 at the most"

    282 is not the same as 291 lol i have no idea theyre both at "350mill" exact when kendricks number is different and somehow makes kendrick a notch lower even tho his totality is predicted bigger

    math aint mathing the way he is pushing it

    He dropped albums in 2023. Those aren’t being streamed anywhere as much as his back catalog.

    comparing one album to the rest of his catalog doesnt really make sense lol

    you should be comparing it to the releases of 2024

    It dropped before the beef. The beef killed him. No reason to argue. Screencap this and tell me how FATD does over the next 6 months.

    I’m comparing pre-beef and post-beef. He was obviously still huge before the beef. Now, he’s not.

    I’m wondering what yall delusional Drake groupies will do when Spotify eventually goes down and another platform takes over. All those records you mention will be meaningless overnight lol.

    Pulitzers and Grammys are for life but Spotify streaming numbers die with the platform and that’s gonna happen eventually.
