General white population loves him
Christians love him
Music nerds and casuals
People on his side cuz of kim divorce

#1 in 100+ countries
100 mil streams

Kanye hasn’t done these type #s in a second .

What does the general black population think

TLOP wouldve gone platinum first week if kanye didnt get the THIS IS HOV text

Which

If TLOP wasnt exclusive to Tidal it def woulda done bigger and better numbers

Kanye Mainstream Peaks

Graduation
TLOP
Donda

Late registration exists? didn’t it do almost 900k with a monster single that lasted 10 weeks on #1 or so,?

LR did 850+

Grad did 950+

I see this often, but I wasn’t a fan like that anymore at that point so I wasn’t really paying attention to that rollout. The hype was that crazy?

I don’t think anything top Grad era tho

Man it was ballistic lol
If he released conventionally it would have done 1M FW

Idk about that

slow down there

I said this earlier but Kanye never really lost the people. It was just a matter of when he was gonna make accessible music again.

Nobody can build hype like Kanye but at the same time nobody can destroy their own hype like him and the last three albums he destroyed a lot of his own hype he built

I believe it.

was being hyperbolic, but releasing it exclusively on tidal at the time definitely killed its potential to chart well. it was supposedly torrented 500 000 times within the first 24 hours and was stuck on tidal for almost two months

despite all that its still his most streamed album by a considerable margin, so definitely could have been a lot bigger than it was

F*** them.

WTT2 is his biggest album sales wise

Sold 436 first week

I think it had platinum numbers just from the piratebay tbh

I'll never forget that months after it dropped and the hype for the singles died he dropped Famous and Ultralightbeam and both went gold pretty fast.

It was the most illegally downloaded album in history and the most watch performance art until Donda.

He f***ed himself it was prolly equal to this or bigger

500k times in 24 hours? That’s impressive asf. I think I seen it on the top 200 on AM too. For it to be a tidal exclusive at first and still have that longevity streaming wise is amazing. I kinda see the classic argument for that album now. I know sales aren’t everything but the fact years later it’s still pulling mad streams is dope especially for a dude who I thought was washed up at that time.

Who

Guess you weren’t alive during Graduation

You missed CD/LR/Grad?
