UPDATED: DRAKE - SCORPION - 740k total activity, 150-160k album

[MrPentatonic]

so if this wasnt a double album he would have done like 380k?

 

[Sinister]

Well deserved underperformance.

These are like Bisd numbers.

 

[Fade Runner 2049]

Flop with over 750,000 and counting sales first week, brehs.

Pure sales tell the real story

Barely outselling Kendrick with double the tracks and the industry push? Wasn't expecting this

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.

I'm sure he'll get to Gold....eventually.

Imagine how much lower they'd be were it not for the pre Adidon streams

No, it's 2018.

They're trying to spin and propaganda him into the grave lol.

Hopefully that'll work because nothing else is.

....what? Scorpion has had months of hype, 2 MASSIVE singles, a beef with another rapper and the biggest streaming platform damn near included him in all of their playlists. Damn came out 2 weeks after The Heart Part IV with one huge single.

 

[Scottie Drippin]

150,000 to 160,000 pure sales is interesting.

That is straight up BAD for his standards. Out-done by all of his contemporaries. This album is a L.

The huge streaming number is off the strength of Spotify and Apple putting his songs into every playlist they could possibly sneak him into.

Yeah a dying medium is what tells the real story

Damn did 353,000 traditional album sales which is damn near triple Drake's actual sales despite double albums counting as 2 units.

He ain't outselling shyt. DAMN.'s 1st week pure sales was 353k

Edit: just noticed @Sinister beat me to it

It's 2018 with streaming that 2 units shyt y'all keep talking about is dead.

Drake is going to outsell Kendrick's first week by over 200,000 sales period.

Now the semantics is "traditional album sales".

 

[who killin it?]

the juelzing lol

 

[Sinister]

Fun fact: Cole outperformed Drake in actual album sales in 2018
