The closest recipe I could have thought of to the ideal scenario was Nicki's last album the pink print . She had some of her rap credibility back after Looking Ass N*****, she had that Anaconda track that set the record for most views in a day on youtube, and she had some decent pop features on there: Skylar Grey, B, Ariana Grande, Breezy, Jeremih.


Then she doesn't even hit 250,000 first week

With the direction streaming is going we will probably see numbers continue to drop.

His first album he didn't release until he had 100, 000 preorders and sold like 144,000 independently to debut number 1 on billboard. If mac miller can do 144, 000 independent imagine what drake could do if he held his album hostage until preorders were met.

Is there a point to Mac doing that? Do you get royalty checks for cracking 100k first week?

I could see Drake or Eminem pulling it off, but they'd need the perfect records to manage it.
