If 248K is ‘weak,’ then most R&B albums today flopped. Let’s talk context.

The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow (490K) was inflated by bundles & physical sales (359K from vinyls, CDs & pre-orders). Drake’s album was almost entirely streaming-based.

Future/Kendrick dropped full rap albums, which naturally sell more due to stronger playlisting.

For comparison:
• Usher’s Coming Home – 91K
• Ariana’s Eternal Sunshine – 227K
• JT’s Everything I Thought It Was – 67K

If 248K is ‘weak,’ what do we call these?

Drake’s past R&B/experimental projects:
• Honestly, Nevermind – 204K
• Dark Lane Demo Tapes – 223K
• $ome $exy $ongs 4 U – 248K

This isn’t a decline—it’s right in line with expectations. Context matters.

Pointing out that bundles & pre-orders boosted The Weeknd’s sales isn’t the same as saying selling physical albums is bad. That’s a strawman. The issue isn’t physical sales—it’s how much of his total came from them vs. streaming.

If you think context = ‘this era is fried,’ that’s on you.

Drake relied almost entirely on streaming (27K out of 248K were pure sales). The Weeknd leaned heavily into physical sales & bundles (359K out of 490K came from CDs, vinyl, and pre-orders). Two different sales strategies—you can’t compare them without acknowledging that.

Streaming and physical sales aren’t counted the same—this explains the first-week gap between The Weeknd and Drake/PND.

Drake sold physical copies in fact he sold them at a discounted rate and multiple versions so this entire premise is nonsensical and antifactual to begin with as is most of you OVHOES groupie babble :mjlol:



Just because his audience didn't engage in purchasing them at the same rate another fanbase did does not mean he engaged in a different “sales strategy” lmao.…wtf are you even talking about...please stop using terms you don't comprehend...its embarrassing

Secondly selling physical albums is not “bundling” bundling is combining your actual main property which is the music with ancillary items such as merch and so on…you’re conflating two different things entirely…likely due to getting these talking points from the internet

Either way getting people to spend actual money on your product is an indication of a deeper investment in said artist vs streaming your product which can be done for free on certain platforms…trying to parse out some sort of highground because your favorite guy failed to generate enough support to drive people to spend money on their art is comedic and yes indicative of a fried brain.…
