So a billion streams a week is the new metric for current hottest artist at the time.

Does anyone know what an estimate or range for 1 billion streams equal in dollar$?? :jbhmm:

He's suffering from Andre 3000 and Lauryn Hill disease, the public have built them up to such heights they are scared to drop in fear of disappointing

Narrative has to stop. Kendrick was NEVER in a group. They were and didn't really set out to be solo artists. It just happened and in Lauryn's case she dropped a solo album and never followed up with what people wanted.

Kendrick Lamar is a solo artist and will drop an album when he feels it's ready. Don't know why people want to make up narratives because these artists don't operate on the time they want they want them on.

Fix you internet!!!!! You posting 4 times the same shyt!

Then it says YTD.....YEAR TO DATE......that's 7+ months.

Finally

1m views=4k USD on spotify
1m views=600 USD on youtube.

This money is going to the label, not the artist. The artist get paid off shows and merch which the label takes a piece of that too(360 deal).

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
I’m gonna assume he’s said all that he could possibly say.


Some rappers can make 30 albums rapping about the same shyt. Kendrick hasn’t really done that. Even though I don’t fukk with his last 2 albums, they at least had different themes/topics.

And he’s a father now. He’s never been an industry dude either.

it seems like TDE as a whole has taken a hiatus tho until recently I suppose.

What's next is trash and the resort of streaming #'s. It fell off the next week.

Nice for What and Laugh Now are the only real #1s since

Drake is looking for that 1b view type video like hotline bling, gods plan.

There's a difference between that type of #1 and What's next.

If you can't see the difference then you don't know music.
Laugh Now ain’t go number one.
