With Kendrick breaking records there's been a lot of talk about streaming numbers lately.
I been looking at these for a lot of artists and got to address the elephant in the room.
Audiences ain't checking for Hov's classic era albums like that compared to his peers. Question is, why?
Daily streams by album for last week
TBA 193,008
Blueprint 168,643
Vol. 2 149,408
BP2 131,367
Vol. 3 105,294
RD 80,299
Dynasty 35,102
Vol. 1 25,456

Wondering what unbiased brehs like @bigde09 @Westbama Heartthrob and @ThirdAct got to say about this
Got to add the following note for clarity. If you stream a song on a Greatest Hits or compilation, it get added to the total for both the original album and the compilation, and to all alternate versions of the original album.
Example. Blueprint daily streams last week was 168,643, BP2 streams was 131,367. Total of 300,010.
The BP Deluxe version listed includes all tracks from BP1 and BP2. You look at the daily totals for BP Deluxe, it's exactly 300,010.
Greatest Hits and compilations ain't cannibalizing the individual album totals on the source site. And anyway Hov ain't the only artist on the list with a popular Greatest Hits
