You’re talking as if it would’ve gone triple platinum already if physicals were released first day - physicals account for 5% of overall sales at most and that in itself is driven by vinyl which nobody buys except for a niche audience.

Digital downloads were also available first day which last time I checked, account for one sale so the two formats which would account for 95% of sales were available first week. So again i ask - how can an album that’s not even platinum yet be a phenom? fukk the number of tracks as well. It was a hyperbolic statement to over exaggerate….Motherfukkers claiming ‘Phenom’ like the album is doing Adele or Taylor Swift numbers - GTFOH loool
You just confirmed you don't know how it works :comeon:

what? excuse me?

It's the only album on the best streamed albums ever list with less than 15 tracks...Billboard confirmed we have never seen an album with only 12 tracks performing like GNX...

We're talking about an album with only 12 tracks, with no physical release yet...

It also has the universal acclaim from critics, it's also a strong contender for AOTY on end year lists and quite honestly, it's everywhere. This is definitely a phenomenon type of album.
so its actually the most streamed rap album ever at this age if we're going by average listens

:jbhmm:King Kendrick

It was the most streamed rap album ever first week when taking individual songs. But it suffered from the fact it only had 12 tracks, so in global it was like top 6 (almost all the others had like 20+ tracks)

The reason Drake is suing UMG seems to change every week

The label pumped up Not Like Us
He wants a new deal
The label sabotaged the roll out of the PND album

Am I missing anything else
Drake isn’t changing anything it’s fans speculations. Also it’s a petition not a lawsuit

At this point, Drake should just man up and drop the album. What else can he do? If you really believe you’re #1 and is still doing well on streaming services then you shouldn’t be worried about Kendrick:yeshrug:


But that’s the problem….Drake is shell shocked and Dot got him in the figure 4 leg lock with these chess moves.

I also think he’s scared to drop because now everything is out in the open…and the label ain’t gonna pump n fluff up his numbers anymore.

It would be the first time we’ll see raw numbers of his sales. But even with that he still might do some fugazi shyt to inflate it.

Hopefully Drake releases a 23-track project or else this shyt ain't gonna do numbers stream wise.

Cuz that 12 track project from Dot already outsold FATD with half of the songs :wow:

That fakkit really will drop a 100 gigs of music for an album just to be safe :mjlol:

Wait drake is so big

That wouldn’t his album with pnd completely over shadow Kendrick?

Why should he be scared?
