Vultures 2 had better debut on Apple and had similar numbers on other services (mid) and it sold 107k200k would be nice.. 150 mid… 100
It's mostly Drake's back catalog being streamed right now, and thats because he has twice as many songs as any other artist so it doesn't really say much

Future did exactly 251K with a slightly better opening day on Spotify, and overall much better performances on every other streaming platform. It also had Like That, that stayed number 1 on the hot 100 for like 3 weeks

Still getting into that album, but this is where I probably end up too. I said something just like you described, the album/music keeps insisting on all this melodrama, that we don't really feel or experience as listeners. It's like a one man show in the artists head. I love a few tracks, but as an album it's too long, bloated, overreaches more often than not. it's ambituous, but feels vacant and disconnected. The sequencing/transitions are great, but the songs repeat themselves. Reminds me of For All The Dogs.
Two different artists who seem kind of maxed out creatively in different ways. Weeknd doesn't know what he wants to do. Drake just keeps doubling down. Take Me Back to LA is said to be 5 years old too.

I am out of my depth there, but the way I understood it, back in the 90's and 2000's Billboard was something like the NASDAQ, where you could launch an IPO and see what it does. Same with an album. It was neutral to an extent. They just reported what it did.
But streamers like Apple Music, Spotify, are in business with the labels. They make money together. They pay distribution, exclusives, licenesing, however that shyt works. It's no longer in anyones interests for albums to flop, so they come up with all these tiers and ways of saying whatever they want. Whatever suits their purpose. A lot of the records Kendrick broke were bullshyt too. Not that he didn't do numbers.
"87 weeks in a row from an artist under 45, in the third consecutive May since 2022"

Also the only rapper to have close to 500 songs to stream, which makes it, not very impressive.
