It's over for Drake

He's finished

His next album will flop

^^^ All statements that have been made for every studio album he's ever dropped.

Drake is signed to Apple Music.. They might mess around and put his album on everybody's phone like U2 :mjlol:and then count that as a sale

Yes and Apple artist is gonna get those exaggerated and inflated streaming numbers. Sales mean nothing anymore with the stream game clouding people's view of what's really going on.

No way he's doing platinum out the gate

It's either

1. Cataloged as a double album, so it'll get the 2x counting, so if he hits 500k, it'll be marketed as "First Week Platinum"
2. Since it's Apple exclusive for the first week, they'll pull a Samsung/Roc/Tidal/etc. and float the first week with some shady metrics, but won't be transparent about it. This will make Apple Music (and signing deals/exclusives with them) the new plug for artists so Apple can try to dominate Music/Stream distribution.

1 million single album sales first week is Taylor Swift crossover status, not even Beyonce pulls those numbers.

Platinum doesn't mean shyt anymore, they count streams :dahell:

record labels buy their own records to get artists gold and shyt, it means nothing
