Talkofthecharts and chartdata main admin also just exposed Drake fans, saying drake should be thankful airplay is even taken into consideration :dead:

Even them are tired of low iq drake fans not being able to interpret and read numbers

I don't get what # of songs have to do with anything.

Personally, the more songs an album have the less likely I am to listen to it immediately. But if it's a good 30 minutes I might even play it twice.

I also wouldn't list a collabo album as a Drake album, his latest solo did 400k

Billboard and chartdata confirmed the most songs you have, the biggest numbers you'll be able to move first week.

This opinion has been debunked by HDD, Chartdata and Billboard. They confirmed more songs = more sales and its why we're now seeing a lot of artists trying to release between 20 & 30 tracks.

How do they control for that? :patrice:


I mean I don't doubt that they are right, as a maths guy it would just be interesting to understand how they reach that conclusion. Also is there some sweet spot, or does it just keep on increasing?
It makes sense why Drake's three latest solos are like 23-30 songs though :whoo:


But it's also shocking that the master finesser Travis hasn't had an album with more than like 17 songs :mjlol:

Longer albums (actually, albums with a high number of songs) have been confirmed to be a massive advantage in the dsp era. It's considered as a way to manipulate streaming charts. They're struggling to find a way to fight this.

It's specially true when fans discover a brand new album for the first time. They realized most of these albums only get 1 or 2 full listens by most people (only fans will replay it several times) so if your album have 20 songs, it will generate more sales than a 10 track album.

I remember Billboard mentioning Drake as an artist whose numbers weren't very impressive all things considered.
