Getting a sense with the delays Drakes decided to fully lock in
There was deffo an OG iceman from 2024-2025
The icemen streams deffo were intended to coincide with the drop but after the reception to Ep3 he’s realised he has to be levels above his 2018-2026 output
I disagree. I feel like his 2019-2025 output has been mainly great but the singles for Iceman weren't at that level.
I always call that era his victory lap and it's turning into my favorite of his
353k physical units in 2017.. and you're saying none of those were bundles.
Billboard stopped counting bundle sales in like 2019, why in 2017 would they have not counted the sales? It was pretty acceptable as a strategy for sales back then no?
Drake did 850K in pure sales and Cole did 363K in pure sales the year prior, it still was common back then to do big numbers with pure sales first week
Streaming didn’t really take over as the larger metric until 2018

The intent don’t matter though if the numbers didn’t count. Merch bundles only matter when they artificially boost an artist’s actual total
He tried to artificially boost his total by selling merch bundles

You are correct
You are correct
No he’s not. Views did 850K pure and 4YEO did 363K pure both in 2016, neither with bundles. Pure sales were still big for major artists before 2018
He tried to artificially boost his total by selling merch bundles
And the numbers didn’t count, so saying that he used bundles when discussing his sales total is incorrect

You are theorizing that they didn't count based on the Billboard article about first week sales not specifically calling them out
