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

All this longer albums = more streams talk can be deaded easily.

Scary Hours 2 first week sales was 970k with just 3 songs.

The reality is you can spin these shorter projects far more times before you spin a longer project once.

Yeah.. If the shorter album is actually good, you'd spin it far more times. Drake isn't making good albums no matter what length they are, so that's moot :manny:

Chris Brown's been making 25 song albums for years with deluxe editions on top to play with the numbers with the few people left listening to him. He's not the only one, he's just the most flagrant. But you've got it all figured out lol

The reality is there's something with longer projects boosting numbers or else they wouldn't waste time planning 22 songs. Me, you, and nobody else on this board can answer it because in 2025 we still don't know what a stream is. They do or at least they have a better idea than us and that's why they do it

Chris Brown is a singles artist and longer albums will give him more exposure.

Drake and Kendrick, although do work singles too, are mainly artists who make music where listeners consume entire projects at once.

How many would he have sold if he did an 11-14 album cut though? I've seen you share album sales throughout this thread. Educate me breh. How much would Drake have sold?


Has little impact, a 15 song album you listen to it repeat the songs again when you finish it, a 21 song album you just listen to the songs play out. Alot of people usually dedicate certain amount of time to listening to music(While on a drive, Working out, doing tasks).


for instance If you have a 2 hour drive and GNX 12 songs play out just start the album again, If you're listening to $$$4U you listen to each song once and half the album again. That narrative of having a longer album means more sales is funny to me.

Again $0 spent on promo. Those streamers fukk with Drake from day 1.

This is how the radio hot 97 Vice President of Programming and the Apple Music’s Global Editorial Head of Hip-Hop and R&B feels about Drake.




This is the “Elite” celebrating the “Fake elimination, Fake intimidation”




Wether you like it or not, Drake ain’t going nowhere.


He spent money lol he literally paid fans to buy his album

This longer album talk is real...billboard and chartdata already explained it. No matter how hard drake fans try to spin it, longer albums mean more sales, period. If the creator of bottle water says its made for you to drink, it is made for you to drink.
