[Woodrow]

[CrimsonTider]

Apple has pretty comprehensive city charts: https://music.apple.com/us/browse/top-charts/cityCharts.

Doesn't look like it's been updated to reflect this weekend though. We shall see.

Very interesting data. Repped.
The Heart 5 was on the list for a lot of these American/Canadian cities, but not the South, so I surmise that Kendrick’s album will be all over that chart when it updates.

 

[Switch]

Thought it would be around 400k

Spotify numbers show N95 is the most played song m. It literally doubled every song that’s on the second disc by more than 7 million plays. No song on the 2nd disc has more than 9 million plays.

N95 is the hit.

i feel like this album reception will be more kin to TPAB.

King Kunta and alright are the only songs with more than a 100 million on there. That’s shocking.

Silent Hill gonna get there.

 

[spliz]

Completely disagree. Damn felt like pandering to the mainstream. Way more singing. Way more modern production.

Disagree. Good Kid had a single with Drake. Lol.

 

[Chip Skylark]

Silent Hill gonna get there.

Idk

n95
United in grief
Die hard are the top songs from the album right now on Spotify

the second disc doesn’t have a song over 10 million yet

Do you think GKMC was more commercial/mainstream friendly than Damn?

I think @Piff Perkins was on this early in the streaming era. The 2nd song is usually the most streamed song and a lot artist try to put what they think will be the single there

I don’t think N95 has legs tho, it’s just the 2nd song

I dunno, I’m just so down on the project. I thought we would get something different after the Keem features

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

The first week isn’t a flop but if this has like 70% drop in the second week with no songs becoming hits then it will be a flop overall

I really don’t understand why he gave us this shyt. Other than he’s completely out of touch.

Someone on here had the theory about the time and wanting to sound more experimental to meet the hype.

Or maybe this is the music he likes making




Where are we in life that we demand every artist make the same shyt? Back in the day, they had these things called records.. And you went into a store and not only were your favorite records sold, but thousands of other records, you never heard of, and might not like... But they were making music they wanted. They didn't care what you wanted. They wanted to make that record...

Why is so strange when... And I know you're a Drake stan... But why is it wrong for Drake to rap about hoes, Push to rap about coke, Jay to rap about artwork, Jeezy to rap about coke, Kendrick to be a poet, Lupe to be a poet, Ras Kass to be a lyrical miracle, Canibus to be a battle rapper, DMX to write pain, and Future to rap about hoes...?

Everybody can't make what the fukk they want to? Fans can't like other types of rap music? We just gotta like hits and want "bangers" all the time? Can a nikka put on an album and zone while he cleaning the house and shyt? Can we go for a drive and not want to wild out in the car like it's the club? Can I want to hear something different?

DAMN

DAMN

He’s not making music for himself

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

The music isn’t good ..it’s that simple

Yeah I guess him talking about his aunt being a nikka is showing vulnerability, and bravery..but nobody wants to listen to that shyt musically with some opera vocals opening up the track…weather is getting nice, we outside

lol
