Like experts said, nothing wrong with his spotify numbers no... drake has a radio affiliation with Apple, is mostly active on Apple, and apple isn't even half as big as spotify.
And right now, Drake only has 6 songs in the top 10 of apple, when artists that drop new material usually occupy the entire top 10 when they drop.

He got 2 songs that dropped off the top 10 today.


If anything his Apple streams are indicating its flopping.

Apple and Spotify have nearly the same amount of subs in the United States

When counting numbers they are talking specifically about the United States

That's why damn near every country has their own album sales chart

That is mathematically impossible, as the amount of streams depend on the amount of tracks, which then have a massive influence on album sales.
-confirmed by billboad, spotify, apple, chartdata and hdd
Drake fans really trying to fabricate narratives now :dead:

No the amount of streams is the amount of people consuming the songs

10 or 30

It don't matter.

No, you got monthly followers and streams confused.
Album sales depend on songs being streamed. If the same amount of people can stream more songs, it results in better sales. This is the streaming era.
Which is why Drake has been called out these last few years, as its quite clear he been trying to manipulate and boost his numbers with bloated albums.

No I do not.

What you are doing is assuming that the same amount of people are, which is clearly not the case.

Some one is gonna listen to an album 1 time some people multiple times.

"The updated Billboard 200 will utilize accepted industry benchmarks for digital and streaming data, equating 10 digital track sales from an album to one equivalent album sale, and 1,500 song streams from an album to one equivalent album sale"

"10 song sales or 1,500 song streams from an album were treated as equivalent to one purchase of the album"

Billboard then confirmed if your album contain more songs, your fans will give you more streams, reaching that 1500 number quicker.

Multiple people in the industry been taking Drake as the perfect example of an artist usually boosting his own numbers with that tactic.

Twist it like you want, it won't change the fact more songs = better sales.

Even if only 1 song from your album get these 1,500 song streams, you get 1 album sale.

Ignoring the fact people, experts, chart holders been analyzing how people consume albums and trends...ignoring the reprts, the conclusion that more songs = more sales.

Thanks for giving your subjective opinon on the matter, but it won't change an objective and well documented fact.

If, as a fan, you give your favorite artist new album a listen, listening to all 21 tracks will make that artist reach the 1500 streams = 1 sale faster than let's say Nas illmatic that only has 10 tracks. In that example, it would take someone 2 full listens of Illmatic to even compare for a single play of Drake's new album.

It's even easier when the tracks are short, when there's skits, etc

Sure

new album 21 songs gonna sell around 250k

The only people who be saying more songs = more sales, is you random dudes on the internet

Sorry :manny:

That's because drake fans liked for all the dogs a lot more than this new one...


That's also why HDD is now analyzing average stream PER SONG, because it is now pointless to compare streams when some albums have only 10 tracks and others have 25.

That's obvious because of what I just said

What yall are doing is acting like it's gonna launch you into the stratosphere
