    Lol @ honestly Nevermind being a flop. It sold like the most I’d expect for a dance album (actually in dance category) and the surprise album

    It’s like the highest selling dance album ever in US 💀

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

    Who has physicals first weeks these days anyway. Unless you’re Taylor Swift or some s*** that’s getting leaked if you print physicals in advance

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

    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

    Wtf I just realize this way more than any Rihanna first week. How come Rihanna could never cross 300k? Rih had smash singles and 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

    not until she stops dropping projects every 6 years

    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

  • Dec 11, 2022

    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.

    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 👑

    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!
