The old white Man needs some serious help. Not only has he been crying about Views going Plat in a week for over a year. The article he keeps posting is Fake News and has been debunked numerous times

Is this not considered spam cause he's a mod or some shyt?

:russell:

If we're gonna pretend to be outraged by this fake streaming shyt then it needs to apply to everyone. Nobody batted an eye when the math for "Views" didn't add up on either Spotify or Apple:

Fred.

Drake stans mad as shyt.:mjlol:

I told you fukking weirdos when them fake ass "Views" numbers came in, show the same acceptance when it's an artist you don't like as much manipulating the system. And you obviously can't.

Fred.

I'm :dead: at the same Drake stans that had no problem with "Hotline Bling" padding the numbers of "Views" coming in here talking about this isn't right.

Fred.
:gucci:

I didn't forget I ignored it because it's wrong. Do any of you clowns know what you're talking about?

Drake “Sold” 1.2M Copies Of Views Only Thanks To Old “Hotline Bling” Streams
Why Drake Isn't as Popular as Michael Jackson
Drake's 'Hotline Bling' streams will help Views go platinum
Old "Hotline Bling" Streams Count Towards Sales Numbers For Drake's "VIEWS"
But nah, let me ignore several reputable music sites and listen to some weirdo Drake stan on the internet.:mjlol:

Fred.


Exactly. I'm :dead: at how quick stans turn rational when things aren't going their way.

"Views" did 1.2 mill first week and Drake stans :blessed:

"More Life" gets outsold by Kendrick's shyt and Drake stans :whoa: "Hold on now, these numbers don't tell the whole story."

Anyway....first week numbers have been a hot topic in rap since the mid 90's. Jay said "sold what your whole album sold in my first week" damn near 20 years ago. It's a rap thing. Then again this clown isn't even into rap like that, so I'm not sure why this is on his mind.

Fred.

They did the same thing for Drake. 1/4 of it's 4x plat certification is from "Hotline Bling".:mjlol:

Fred.
1.2 mill of that 4x plat is from "Hotline Bling" alone.

Drake “Sold” 1.2M Copies Of Views Only Thanks To Old “Hotline Bling” Streams

The only multi-plat singles off that album according to RIAA is "Hotline Bling" and "One Dance":

Gold & Platinum - RIAA

The vast majority of the "sales" of that album are from 2-3 songs streams.

Everyone knows that streams prior to the album being released don't count in the first week total

It's why Fat Joe and Remy Ma had a play single and sold 15k in the first week

It's why French has Plat single and sold 50k

Those Hotline Bling sales/streams before the album released didn't count

In the United States, Views debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, with 1.04 million equivalent album units, selling 852,000 copies in its first week of release, and achieving over 245 million streams

245000000/1500 = 163333

852000 + 163333 = 1,015,333

If those 400,000,000 were added then it would be up to 1.2 million
and even higher with the 700,000,000 youtube views like the article suggest are counted but aren't so try again

Fred. :umad:
