    There’s only two other artists that could do 300k on streams alone, and I’m confident in saying only one of them could do it with a surprise drop.

    It’s a very good number.

    who??? i genuinely dont know

    “One Bot, Two Bots, Flop”

    (Intro)
    Yo, thought you’d run it up, but look what you got,
    Artificial streams ain’t feeding the pot.
    Now you’re sittin’ there, lonely on the charts,
    Your bots retired, couldn’t fake the art.

    (Verse 1)
    One bot, two bots, three bots, flop,
    Your album dropped but the buzz did not.
    You faked the streams, thought you were the king,
    But numbers don’t lie, where’s your Spotify bling?

    Claimed you were poppin’, said you were the GOAT,
    But the concert’s empty, no one bought a coat.
    Fans want real, not a digital ghost,
    Now your career’s toast, raise a glass, let’s roast!

    (Chorus)
    One bot, two bots, algorithms stop,
    Tryna game the system, but the crowd’s not shocked.
    Real recognize real, and you’re lookin’ off,
    No soul, no bars, all you do is soft.

    (Verse 2)
    Streams inflated, yeah, the stats were wild,
    But your music’s faker than a TikTok smile.
    Dropped the new heat, thought you’d be a star,
    But your “fans” can’t pull up—they stuck in the cloud.

    Your last hit’s stale like it’s trapped in a vault,
    The game sees through you, and that’s your fault.
    No bots to lean on, now you’re lookin’ exposed,
    While my grind’s steady, I don’t need no codes.

    (Bridge)
    Numbers don’t make a legacy, son,
    We all know who’s really number one.
    While you’re out here playin’ pretend,
    I’m stackin’ dubs that’ll never end.

    (Chorus)
    One bot, two bots, algorithms stop,
    Your hype’s all fake, no way you’ll pop.
    Authenticity wins, that’s the only plot,
    Keep chasin’ clout while I take my shot.

    (Outro)
    So here’s your crown for the king of deceit,
    Hope you like the throne, it’s made of defeat.
    Next time you drop, keep it honest and clean,
    Or you’ll end up a ghost of a streaming machine.

    I mean Drake is doing these numbers to if he drops a 12 song project

    There's a reason why he deliberately bloats his albums with 20+ songs

    Mind you Honestly, Nevermind did 204k fw and that had 14 songs opposed to Kendrick's 12 but Drake stans go with the predictable cope "WeLL aCtUaLLy ☝️🤓 HoNesTLy NeVeRmInD wAs An ExPeRiMeNtaL fOr DrAkE tHatS whY iT DiDnT SeLl aS MuCh aS HiS oThER aLBuMs."

    Don’t forget when DLDT got outsold by a country album “it’s a mixtape full of leaks”

    YA BOY ACE

    You can’t expect average streams to hold up over longer projects. This isn’t a valid statistical comparison

    That’s why I didn’t say Kendrick would have gotten 760 million streams if he had 23 songs, I just pointed out the averages. The average would go down with more songs, but they also wouldn’t get 0 plays, so the presence of more and more songs is going to inflate the numbers.

    If we compare these numbers to Drake’s projects that had less tracks:

    Her Loss - 514m total, 32m average (16 songs) Basically a surprise release, no singles and only announced days before iirc, though there was promo and 21 as a feature on almost every song, Travis as a feature

    HNVM - 250m total, 18m average (14 songs) Surprise release, only one big feature

    DLDT - 270m total, 19m average (14 songs) full rollout with singles and music videos, loaded with features

  • Deezed

    btw Cole's The Off-Season did the same streams with the same 12 song track list

    dont let them gas light u with the "Track count" bull s***

    ur telling me kenny in 2024 is just as popular as Cole's The Off-Season

    after a superbowll anouncement? afetr a record year???

    its over for UMG, they getting taxed

    same listeners

    GNX projected to do 350m-400 million streams first week from 12 songs.

    Average: 30-33 million (projected)

    FATD did 514 million off of 23 songs.

    Average: 22 million.

    its projected to do 325 mil so that wiull change ur averages

    you talkin about a record that’s not on the album. it was a surprise drop bro idk what to tell you

    But after dropping the biggest record of the year and headlining the biggest sports event in America history why is he only doing 290k? I thought it was his year? Surprise drop or not he should be doing better than this

    But after dropping the biggest record of the year and headlining the biggest sports event in America history why is he only doing 290k? I thought it was his year? Surprise drop or not he should be doing better than this

    Which rapper did better with a 12 song surprise drop? Which rapper did better this year period on streams?

    He’s at the top maybe Drake could still get some IG views if he tries

    He had the biggest record of the year no?

    Was it not being spammed any and everywhere?

    Why weren’t people flocking to listen to the album?

    Why did it only generate as many streams as J Cole did in 2021?

    Why was it only the 25th most streamed album off all time in Kendrick’s career year?

    I was told he would be doing 500k minimum by multiple users why is doing half that?

    oh my nigga bmo aint playing
