No matter how you spin this, issa flop

What if we don't spin it at all?

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

All this tells me is that streams aren't the cheat codes the Coli claims them to be. The Jay/Bey album and now this one tells me that we can expect to see a continued downward trend in numbers for pop artists.

Drake fans are product based as I've said before which is why there's been no lasting harm (in regards to his fanbase) from the Pusha beef. They would rather stream individual songs as opposed to buying his album when given the opportunity.

Artists like Kendrick and Cole have fanbases that are invested in both the person and product so they will get the streams and the sales. This ultimately puts them on better footing moving forward.

Drake is going to have to find away to get people invested in him as a person. I mean, we have the Drake obsessed in the Booth but those aren't translating into record sales. He needs to cultivate a fanbase that likes him for more than his last hit.

DRAKE LOST

 

[Slystallion]

he's declining but he's been strong for a decade....it was inevitable

Damn is the most mass marketed, payola based, industry pushed album hip-hop has seen.

And Drake gonna outsell Damn by damn near 200,000 copies first week which isn't "barely" outselling.

Damn wasn’t forced upon us in the first week when it sold 600k , after that label ran with it .. imagine if Damn came out when Humble and Loyalty were all over the radio shyt would have done 800k

Yes it was forced. Humble was at the top of the charts right after the video premiered.

This is Kendrick’s wackest, most dumbed down project yet his most critically acclaimed and highest selling. I see through the fake accolades.

all of this push for 150k


@666 ReVeNGe 666 what you think of this album breh?

Haven't listened yet.

 

[Cheech&Chong]

Considering a third of those streams were people checking for a Pusha response this is the beginning of the downfall. I think 2nd week numbers will be much lower. Could be wrong tho
