Drake stans are low key retarded as fukk. :snoop:

It's not the same for everyone. If you take two equally popular artists, one on Apple and one on Tidal, it's impossible for the artist on Tidal to hit the same numbers. Due to the difference in the number of subscribers.

That alone makes counting streams wildly inaccurate. I guess this is the part where one of you brain trusts says "well, why don't they sign to Apple?"....because it would lead to a monopoly.

Fred.

You're asking too much of these kids already just by writing what you did.

Monopoly is a board game to these fools. @Hip-Hop Fan

Streaming just the wave nobody buys music no more same with TV nobody wants cable, nobody wants to buy DVDs. People want what they want, when they want it. So Billboard adapted the change people prefer to pay monthly subscription fees to access to everything instead just paying CDs one at a time hence why Drake is number 1 because he's the most steamed artist on Apple Music and Spotify plus the most listened to artist on Pardora. I don't think Tidal discloses it's streaming numbers. But it's just common sense why he's at the top. Times are changing pure sales don't mean as much no more:yeshrug:

This ain't really got anything to do with Drake specifically. The whole streaming thing is retarded.

RIAA got "Views" at 2x plat and 1x plat is solely from "Hotline Bling" streams. :what:

Imagine if "C3" era Wayne had every single or random song he dropped tabulated along with his album sales....dude would do "Thriller" numbers. I'm not saying let's go back to the way things were but single song streams shouldn't count towards album streams, for one. Alongside what I said about the difference between 13 million vs 3 million subscribers on Apple vs Tidal. Pac and Michael Jackson could come back to life and do an album together and they ain't gonna hit anywhere near what Drake did if they're on Tidal. It's mathematically impossible.

I think cats are taking any criticism of streaming as "let's make it how it was", which I'm not saying. But just because this is what they came up with, don't mean it's accurate.

Haven't heard one person play this album yet. His buzz is fabricated


its because the lines are blurred.

I'm sure hes really selling, but most of those sales clearly aren't coming from hip-hop.

people get mad at me when I speak the obvious on stat-padders like outkast, Kanye, Eminem, timbaland & missy. its nothing personal against them. its just stuff that needs to be said, so we can keep things in order. but people wanted to be lax.

too late now. the floodgates are open brehs. its only gonna get worse from here. and coming down the pike, we're about to see some guys blow up real soon that are gonna make drake look like rakim.

He's been #1 by default because of lack of competition not finesse

How is it the lowest selling of all time when you list 2 lower than it?

What record did it actually break?
