Drake's bloated 21-track album aimed at gaming the streaming system to move 250K first week

chart success can be an indicator of how important an album is. There's a reason why Take Care is the one that's still super high on the charts 15 years later and not his other stuff (though his other stuff does well too). I'm not talking about it going #1 or selling a ton. Again, leave personal preferences aside. I don't DQ All Eyez On Me because Whatz Your Phone # is objectively garbage. I call a spade and spade and call it what it is even if it doesn't hit me the same way.

This is a list of the ten longest charting albums ever, and I'm removing greatest hits stuff off this list

Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon
Metallica- Metallica
Bruno Mars- Doo-Wops & Hooligans
Nirvana- Nevermind
Michael Jackson- Thriller
Kendrick Lamar- GKMC
AC/DC- Back in Black
Fleetwood Mac- Rumours
Adele- 21
Lana Del Rey- Born To Die


you can't tell the full story of music in the 2010s without mentioning Take Care



As for So Far Gone, it's definitely a classic mixtape.

Isn’t damn charting well for a long time too? I wouldn’t call that a classic and it’ll chart for a while still to catch others. Gnx might get their in time.

He projected to do 220k streaming 28k pure sales. Weeknd did 130k streaming 360 bundles. Weeknd stand punching the air.

This numbers can go up though.


Weeknd has never done huge numbers out the gate and he always has a fall off. His best selling album sold 348k first week and was at 90k by the third week. Plus he's always had bundles boost his first week numbers, 209k of that first week were bundles.


Weeknd's music usually has long legs, but he's never done Drake numbers out the gate.
