The mods missed this bozo bot.

Billboard already said Kendrick albums in general do way better numbers.

You're comparing stuff that are not comparable... 24 track projects vs 12 ????????? in the streaming era???????????

Not to mention, gnx sold way more in 2025 than Drake's last album.

Nobody cares about a specific week, specially when one artist is super active and the other hasn't released or said anything since last year

GNX sold more overall thus far but Drake's sold more last week, his album will eventually pass GNX in total sales because Drake s albums have legs. He has 8 albums in the top 200 so Kenny didn't really Ja rule him. Kdot and J Cole probably sell more physical CDs than Drake though, which is impressive in this era

Lol you do realize that we're not counting sales gnx did in 2024? cuz thats not an album released this year... yet it still beat drake's last album this year alone, and by a large margin (700k).

Gnx only has 12 tracks, Drake last album got twice as many songs...its a major factor in the dsps era and Billboard confirmed it.

It will not pass GNX in total sales... and Drake albums certainly don't have legs, if anything, kendrick albums usually have way more legs.

Matter of fact, Kendrick's GKMC is the longuest charting rap album of all time. And Kendrick's DAMN is the 2nd biggest rap album of the century.

Drake having more albums in the top 200 is irrelevant, because Drake has released way more projects than most rappers


Like billboard said, Kendrick doesn't just sell more physical cds, he also gets way more streams than Drake. Drake pulls his numbers with 600 songs available on spotify, Kendrick does his numbers with only 200 tracks. One Kendrick song gets 3.6 M stream on average, versus only 2.5 for Drake.

Drake s albums have legs.

Lmao






And in 2025 alone, as far as songs:

Kendrick albums, historically, always had more legs than Drake's...and GNX will be no different, like a lot of people have said, despite having no promotion, gnx songs are still being the most consumed songs by a rapper.

gnx numbers adjusted

2M instead of 1.8M in 2025 alone
