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

[spliz]

248k is weak for him. He did less than Weekend, Future, Kendrick,

It’s not a Drake album. We will see what happens when that solo drops. nikka dropped a collab album with an extremely cold artist and no single and still did 250k. This sales argument gonna bite alotta people in the ass I don’t think this is the right angle when trying to shyt on Drake.

For the amount of songs on the album, I honestly expected more. Especially compared to other artists who have had almost half the track listing with more sales with an unexpected drop, mid day.

This muthafukka flopped so hard OVHOEs ain't even calling it a Drake album no more

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.

Forget streaming numbers and let’s talk music..the album was trash ..each song was just horrible..but nothing is worse than when drake starts rapping Spanish..69 makes better Spanish music than drake and that’s not saying a lot..I was excited about hearing drake and party do a collab but very disappointed/let down after hearing it.. no girls is fukking to this music..it’s not R&B..the songs are not even sexy..

Without selling any physical albums let alone for 4.99 on his first week like the PEDO did





Yikes.

imagine you're a grown man on the internet calling another man a pedo who has 0 allegations and nothing but a hug of a 17 year old when he was 21 in public....a total clean background, dont like him for his music cool...

I promise these celebs dont know you brother you need help

Now the excuse for the flop is it’s a PND album

At this rate the new excuse will be it’s his ghostwriters album

 

[Him]

14 number 1s In 14 years


Time to take that number 1 spot of most number 1 albums of all time.

Drake is on the island of relevancy. The Roman Reigns of this shyt. Acknowledge him

 

[Carl Tethers]

Nobody listening to $ome $tatutory $ongs For You already?

Drake got like 3 or 4 other albums with these same first week numbers. shyt ain’t even a flop.

Didn’t really hear it much before the Super Bowl I’m just being real. Maybe it’s a NYC thing.

What you hear bumping in NY?

Men lie women lie numbers don’t. Drake got outsold by Weekend, Kendrick and Future I don’t make the rules.

Numbers so underwhelming that Akedemiks was copping pleas online.

Numbers so underwhelming Drake had to come out to say it was the warm up

Numbers so underwhelming that Stans are saying it’s not Drakes album
