How can be a phenomenon type of album and it’s not even platinum 2 months after release?
This is something only an ignorant would say (not being harsh here, I was one as well).
This is pretty much a small album available on streaming only as physical cd's will only be shipped in February. It's been confirmed by streaming services that the more tracks your album have, the more units it will move.
Yet, this shyt is doing massive numbers with way less songs than the typical streaming machine albums. HDD did a calculation and figured each and every song on GNX got more streams than any other rap album before it.
Lamar an average of 27m streams per song, the previous record was 23m streams per song for Certified Lover Boy by Drake, in 2021.
It had a less impressive 1st week, because it had way less songs available. But it keeps pushing between 70 and 100k a week more than a month later. Even tied a Beatles and Taylor Swift record by having 5 songs in the top 5 of the hot 100
You can't ask a 12 tracks album available for streaming only to go platinum after a month when its physically impossible to do so. It's already breaking records lol, and dude didn't even include NLU to boost its streams.
