Been saying it the whole time. Dudes getting inflated numbers cause of streaming and a couple hit singles. Lets all remember before these new rules he was desperately searching for his first number 1 :mjpls:

Wouldn't it stand to reason that the new rules are a more accurate way to assess the popularity of singles compared to whatever Billboard was doing before?

And the point that the article is arguing is extremely flawed.

The Author is basically the stream numbers don't seem legitmate when you compare apple users to # of streams. views isn't the only album who has massive stream numbers.

Its such a weak point and it like if someone said how could Curry lead the league in scoring and be 30th in the NBA in most minutes played per game.

I got 2 numbers and the only way to make sense of them is that there must be some cheating going on.

God read, numbers are wild off when you put them side by side - especially when compared to those Bieber numbers who is an artist in direct competition and making the same music as Drake.

Hopefully the truth will come out one day but I'm doubtful. Apple gon Apple and Drake gon Drake.

Don't trust Cac publications take on hip-hop UNLESS theyre shytting on Drake :mjlol:

:pachaha: these the same dudes that be like sales don't matter anymore. But then they see something like "drake actually didn't make the sales they said he did"

He a fraud his fans lost.:bryan:

If the majority of people don't care about drake having ghost writers how is this going to change anything?

The only real event I noticed that favors the turns were against drake was when it was mentioned Eminem wanted to diss drake.

physical albums are going out streaming and downloading is the new way of consuming music soon it's just going to be a streaming business with apple music, tidal and spotify
