Now we talking about “dance album” smh the excuses don’t stop the album was trash has nothing to do with the genre

Wow

This is true. Harry Styles is a perfect example of that also

real music won

It literally dance music. Niche genre, the playlisting doesn’t fall into the playlists of a popular genre. Not a popular genre in the USA generally bench this being the highest selling album of its kind

Most people in the USA are not f***ing with that genre and drake knew that so why would he expect rap / RnB numbers?

You gotta be an idiot or just desperate for him to flop to understand that 🤣

Still left with a number 1 song and album. Then came back to slap the world with the best selling rap album of the year
Edit: also leaving out it was a short the album is. 250k was the ceiling for that album considering everything

Melodramatic introspection (with catchy tunes) sells albums. Her music was always seen as shallow and mindless party music

I just read excuse after excuse after excuse….beyonce dropped a “dance album” to why she sell more? Why are her singles bigger?

This don’t sound like “dance music” to me

all rihanna needs to do is copy what beyoncé did for her rollout and that’s 400-500k
especially coming off the super bowl

And don't forget it was officially announced Drake was the #1 dance artist this year. Honestly Nevermind was far from a flop people just ignoring how the dance genre isn't as popular as Hip-Hop so obviously his Hip-Hop album will sell more. Basic ass logic but niggas can't think

they have 1 artist doing numbers rn the rest of the roster a L

holy s*** lmao

And L to you not to me.

Thank YOU SZA we love you ♥️

Damn SzA doing over 300k

Just want to give her a hug

Drake lives in some of y’all’s heads

Why is he brought up in every sales thread

So happy for SZA.

think it depends on if this album has hits with staying power (i think it does). she’s also going into acting. lots of things at play to where she eventually lands. nearly doing 400k with no bundles, no physicals/vinyls off of one album from over 5 years ago is WILD

im more impressed by the artists who can do this well first week just based on streams and digital downloads. no gimmicks, just good music being rewarded.

i’m really playin i’m hype for this new Soul

Drake is the GOAT and standard of the music industry. It's good to compare with him to tell how far away you are from the top spot 👑

Insane numbers man. Sza keeping rnb alive

That’s crazy. Taylor did 3x “the standard”.

The music industry is like 90% streaming atp. She's an outlier that can sell CDs still. She's not the standard of current music industry, Drake is!
