Thats not bad for a surprise drop
I'll be surprised if it doesnt go above the projections

 

[Suspicious Dingo]

Yikes

Less than mr morale, even with bots

Lookin shaky

Maybe he should sue

 

[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

them pure numbers going to hit like crazy in march when everything ships out

 

[Black Excellence]

Damn was expecting 350+, still really good numbers tho.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

So Future numbers, kinda light if he’s supposed to be the guy TBH

I’m sure he’ll get every award imaginable for it though

 

[Lhark]

Great numbers for a surprise drop

 

[Mastamimd]

Why are we talking about Jay Z in a Kendrick thread?

Oh. Nevermind

 

[Mastamimd]

Great numbers for a surprise drop

With no physicals until much later

Why do yall keep saying its a surprise drop?

1) his entire camp said the album was coming soon/this week via social media

2) who cares if their was prior promo ? I dont understand what would that change? You think him saying on Monday the album coming Friday would change anything ? Spotify, apple music, etc are free or cheap subscriptions, you open the app up and listen to something when you know its out, why would announcing it prior change that ? The people who want to hear the album will, as it takes no effort to open Spotify and hit play. Im trying my best to understand the mind set that some how him saying "hey im dropping the album friday" would change any numbers its currently projecting. You open the app and hit play... how would an announcement effect any of that in todays world?

Because it's factually a "surprise drop"

So people dont open instagram and see the many stories or posts from their friends or media saying the album is out and intentionally dont listen to it until the 2nd or 3rd week ? Use your fukking brain

its a different time, era and world. Nothing would of changed numbers wise.

 

[Ziggiy]

Number 1 album AND Number 1 single with FIVE other songs scheduled to debut within the top ten…

 

[Ethnic Cleansing]

Anyone considering its only 12 songs? With those creepy ass formulas, doesn’t that work against him?

Everyone album that goes #1 has top songs on billboard.. thats how streaming works... the more the songs stream, the higher the album charts... they are one in the same.
