I'm amazed at just how popular this album has been. Triple platinum, highest selling album of the year, three singles that have gone at least platinum...crazy.

This isn't his best album but is his biggest. I honestly didn't think Kendrick would top GKMC, success wise. For him to do it 5 years later, and to top it by such a large margin...whew.
:ehh:

His career is basically set now. More than half of the album is gonna be in his live show catalog for the foreseeable future. Multiple hits and crowd favorites he can play at large shows for years. And he'll only keep adding to the list with each album.

triple platium off streams. You are aware that bots can be created for streaming right? Triple platinum off streams still doesn't compare to 100k being sold independently hahah

It has sold a million physical copies, the rest is streaming. Try again.

Botting in streams is not a significant thing. There's not much financial incentive for record labels to give money to Spotify or Apple like that.
