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.
R&B artists have the hardest time selling R&B with Major features, Singles, videos, a press run, radio play and a major push from the label, Drake went it on their genre with PND, Pimmie, Yebba and Chinito Pacas as his running mates and took over. You can’t have a reasonable talk with KBots.

OVHOE’s calling selling actual physical real albums “inflation” :dead: This era is fried


You call tshirts and hoodies music?🤣😂 that’s why the album dipped to 98k week 2 and 58k week 3, you nikkaz talking Drake selling his album for cheap so did The Weeknd. The weekend tap dance for the Grammys and sold a whole clothing store to his fanbase to inflate them numbers.

Directly from billboard itself...



"When these already high-profile records finally drop, most fans rush to listen to every song, and in doing so, they do more good for the artists than many realize. If one listener sticks around for all 22 songs on Drake’s latest album, they have added more plays to the total than if the record (or playlist project or mixtape) a was only 10 songs long. It only takes just over 68 people to listen to Drake’s new release to count as one “sale,” whereas a 10-song collection would require 150 people to stick with it all the way through"







In other words, Aubrey is a stat padding pedophile :umad: .....all them streaming records as fake as his accent:umad:
More tracks = more sales this is a FACT. Billboard and chartdata all confirmed it. Theres a reason drake keep dropping 24 track projects.

His numbers havent been good for like 10 years when taking everything in consideration

Over-saturating the market and hopping on this new album sale criteria with streaming does not make you eligible for the GOAT conversation.

Michael released a new album every 5 years.

Drake keeps releasing music to up his numbers so he can be apart of a conversation he was never invited to.

Stay in your lane dude. If someone were to list what Drake popular songs will be remembered for all time to solidify himself as a GOAT…. Can they really name songs that actually did something? Ohhh yeah they were on billboard… that was the impact and people were tootsie roll sliding.. like seriously.

I clearly and specifically wrote “OVHOE’s calling selling actual physical real albums inflation”

And your goofy ass responded with buh buhh what about t-shirts :mjlol:

Just a perfect summary of the brain rotted cognitive issues along with the emotional instability amongst you pedo sympathizers lol

Lmao at OVHOES pretending that Drake isn’t Drake anymore because the album is being gimmick marketed as “RnB”.…which now according to them means he's not a global name with a global platform with a global built in stanbase because because “he’s calling this one RnB yall” :mjlol:


Literal mental illness babble with these kiddie love sympathizers lmao

It’s true what another poster said. Let me block you real quick. I’m gonna start blocking KBots that jump with nonsense on every Drake thread.

Weeknd numbers were fake,Those Kendrick and future numbers have something in common

Hit records. If you don't have hits in this era of rap your album isn't going to sell well. And by hits I don't just mean smash records on charts, I mean a song or songs that are getting heavily streamed.

In terms of Weeknd...the numbers aren't fake. Neither were Travis Scott's when he was doing similar shyt. Or Nicki. But I def find it interesting that only about 4 songs on that album are getting a whole lot of streams. On a double album.

As if drake has a separate fanbase for every genre he hijacks :mjlol: .....the shyt flopped cause even the ovHo's aren't bumping this trash. Plus he lost a good amount of female fans after Kendrick exposed him for being into little girls. And also just for losing.

Woman don't wanna be with a loser. You could be with a woman for 20 years. Soulmates. Treat her like a queen every day. But if she sees you get knocked out by another man her p*ssy will never get wet the same for you. It's just the facts. That shyt is biological. Woman wanna feel protected by their man. How are these ho's gonna feel protected by Aubrey when they just seen another man obliterate him, piss on his corpse, then drag his remains on stage for the entire world to laugh at?

The only fans Aubrey has left are women with no self respect and men who still suck their thumbs. The kiddie fukker will forever be Kendricks bytch, and there's nothing he can do about it.
