Scorpion did 572K in stream units alone
CLB did 562K in stream units alone
Even if fans were mass buying 4 copies of physicals (which they weren't), stream units alone he's doing more than 400K before and after the rule change @op
Yeah digital duplications are no longer counted
Nobody cares about Kendrick Lamar except Pitchfork tastemakers and their followers. That is the uncomfortable truth.
Pitchfork doesn't seem to care much for Kendrick these days as well.
This post is so stupid, I don't even know where to start from. Drake did 575k units from streaming alone with CLB. He doesn't need pure sales to do the numbers he does.
Digital dupes are no longer counter
Tell him to do a rollout without gimmicks next time (meme album cover, fake beefs, promoting his album for 1 year and delaying it multiple times, album full of radio friendly songs and many popular features, revealing album features with billboards, corny haircut etc) 😂
youre jobless
how bout hoping for a record that doesnt sound exactly like his last 3 projects

How to show you don’t listen to Keem

Brah do you not comprehend Drakes numbers have nothing to do with duplicate sales, how f***ing dumb are you??????
No one was listening to CLB because of the Kanye stuff, it was listened to because it was a Drake album, this is just clearly not true.
Next they'll say people only streamed Scorpion because of Pusha T. I wonder why they'll say people streamed Views and every other Drake album. The excuses in this thread are mind-blowing.
kendrick stans so mad lmfao, cant wait for drake to do a perfect rollout and drop a milli
Drake promoted that s*** for over a year lmao
How to show you don’t listen to Keem
melodic blue is on the same level as this lmfao
it even sounds like kendrick is being inspired by keem not the other way around

this s*** need a thread honestly, I dont have thread privileges rn someone do it because we have to discuss that type of bullshit
That's not a rollout.
What's a rollout then? I keep seeing this discussion, and I realized that anything that gets people talking is a rollout.
Beyonce changed that scope heavily with her surprise drop. You don't need to spend millions on a long drawn out marketing campaign.
It is advertising but you can't seriously think those CLB billboards did much. They didn't state it's a Drake album, didn't state the release date.. it just stated vague announcements about the features on it.
The only people it was advertising to was hardcore rap fans, but they were all aware about the album dropping regardless.
how many extra sales do you think CLB got from those billboards? I doubt it even improved sales by 1%. People overrate the effect of billboards, look at the Piers Morgan debacle a few weeks ago in the UK
It didn't matter if he put up those bill boards or not. That was just to let fans know what features would be on the album. It had the same effect as him announcing the features on Views on his IG before the album dropped.

Every stan base does this. Justin the only guy who did it publicly lol.

Bundler Lamar cant strike anymore after DAMN

Yeah, but it doesn't affect streaming. The only changes Billboard has made to streaming has helped artists in the US who can pull a lot of streams. For an artist like Drake, the 2 changes (making paid tier streams 3,750/sale vs free tier 1,250 streams/sale) and adding YouTube streams to the Billboard will only help his streaming numbers lol.
