He in here every other post caping

Do you not see how pathetic you look

I think our main point is that you can’t compare sales without bundles to sales with bundles. And bundles for stupid little s*** like lollipops is lame.

TLOP isnt marketed as a double album I dont know why anyone would even discuss that

Lmfao

1. The doubling rule only applies to RIAA Certifications, not Billboard 200 / Hot 100 sales
2. The minimum album length threshold to be counted as a double-album by RIAA is 100 minutes. The album was 9 minutes shy of this threshold. If he really cared about maximizing certifications and numbers he could’ve / would’ve easily added 3 tracks.

Y’all really just come around and spit absolute nonsense with no sense or reason behind it smh

after you mow the lawn you can relax with some virginia black watching netflix on your Owl TV smoking more life (his weed brand)

This what I was looking for I'll shut the f*** up now

Niggas kept linking me to riaa I was talking about billboard and (understandably) there isnt information on that

They are commonly confused. Another fun fact: song sales from weeks prior to the album’s release are not rolled into Billboard first week sales. Those only count for RIAA Certifications, too.

As long as each of those come with a purchase of the new Drake album

He did

Drake the last one that's still known for the music

Lmaoo dude really doesn’t know s*** wow man

What a lost puppy

Travis Bundle and The Bndle should be shook right now

Need ovo to find a way to sell limited edition jordans, then this s*** would really hit another level

OVO Riot shield

Finally getting those OVO hard hats

I’m cryin at “The Bndle” lmaoooo

We already clarified this 😂. Billboard doesn’t consider DAMN or any of his albums as bundled sales.

Lmao that’s nowhere near the same man

i don't think its equivalent but its def something to help out. every artist needs at least something at this point. Drake was not naturally doing the same exact numbers without that. hundreds of millions had to see drake regardless of what they were looking for. had people demanding refunds too bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-44695062

like the s*** affected users who were simply going to listen to their church gospel music. it was much more in your face but not nearly as desperate as selling posters with a free download code.

For people that don't listen to Drake that whole scheme was a huge advertisement on an ad free premium account that they had to see every time they clicked the app.

OVO hard hats let’s f***ing go

I want an OVO cologne bundle

This wasn’t Drake, it was Spotify.
The day Scorpion dropped Spotify dropped the ball and didn’t even put the album up, missing out on a ton of streams. Everyone who wanted to listen to it on Spotify couldn’t

After that they tried to compensate for the lost streams by shoving his music on everyone.

no no no this deal was def in place i remembered knowing this was happening before

right here: "According to a rep for Spotify, the streaming service has planned a large event in tandem with the drop, a "global dedicated artist takeover dubbed 'Scorpion SZN' in honor of Drake's newest album release.' Part of that promotion includes a takeover on all of the service's marquee playlists, such as RapCaviar and Beast Mode." thefader.com/2018/06/29/drake-scorpion-spotify-stream

These things are never the artist themselves even bundles. Spotify didn't randomly do this without Drakes team and label was mutually beneficial and helped the sales. Judging by them taking so long to put it up, its more likely its cus they needed to relaunch their entire program with everything edited just for Drake promo so it took a while. wasn't like they forgot or were harmed by it

I wouldn’t mind a Tour bundle but if I see keychains and other crap lowkey I would side eye. They need to create a separate chart that includes bundles though too many selling more merch than music and that shouldn’t be included in the main charts with albums that have no bundles.

People still pushing that Spotify s*** need to stop.

This doesn’t really say they had a deal or even partnered with Drake, it’s just saying Spotify was doing an event for it. Which makes sense seeing how he’s their most streamed artist.
