are y’all surprised it didn’t out stream Blinding Lights (globally) on Spotify on the day it debuted? I guess only U.S. #s matter for Billboard, but I thought Drake had a larger global reach than Abel

TRACK STREAMS
1
Toosie Slide by Drake 2,251,305
2
The Box by Roddy Ricch 1,476,013
3
Blinding Lights by The Weeknd 1,430,337
57
Toosie Slide by Drake 419,663

toosie slide total day 1 = ~2.7mili
Blinding lights = 1.43mili

hmmmm

Nah not really

Pop is bigger than rap or pop rap outside of the US

I meant Drake's main page for the video. It spent a whole day stick at 10 million views and another stick at 11.5 million views.

He won't need it and you know he doesn't have any bundles available. If there were any, he'd have announced them by now. I hope he uses them when he drops his album tho.

freezes a lot yeee

his total youtube views, all videos combined, is about ~15mili right now

on track for that 22-23mili predicted

Interesting. Is Spotify skewing the charts or is the second one the clean version?

Looks like about 800K streams were attributed to the other version of TS on the global charts as well, which would put it just under BL on a combined basis.

they normally combined both versions but with toosie slide its separated for some reason, even on the Canadian spotify.

so for example Toosie Slide US number yesterday was 2.15mili but the clean is probably doing another 100-150k (just outside of the top 200 so we cant see its exact numbers), in total its probably doing 2.3mili right now

ya even on the global chart, if you combined both, its basically just under #1 which is good for rap since rap doesnt dominate the global chart like it does the US chart

Really don’t get why it’s not combined

#16 (+3)

Still, that's bad. None of his videos have done this before. Seems like people just stopped watching.

This is good. How are you checking Amazon Music's chart?

They have an app which is the only way.

It’s not a crazy high budget video

I don't think that's why. I think you can only watch a tour of his house so many times before moving on.

Yeah. In comparison to his other videos it just doesn’t have the same replay value as a God’s Plan or Headlines video

Yup. As nice as his house was to look it, after watching the video once or twice, you've seen everything. Better to just stream the song itself from that point which is what people have been doing.

#13 (+3)

When do earliest billboard predictions usually come out?

3 sets of +3

i stopped keeping track a while ago but @gthot20 from billboard used to do top 10 countdowns on periscope on Mondays

That's the official top 10 reveal that's on Monday after the tracking week ends.

Predictions usually start coming Wednesday or Thursday this week.

We discuss this yet?

30m audience overall, doing great.

It's gaining steadily on radio so far.
