🦉The Official Drake Thread6️⃣ - Drake & PND Album Fall 2024

Speaking of sales 32% of the list


Those scores aren't accurate sales for a good portion of those early 2010's release. A lot of those sold more 1st week, but publications weren't including digital sales for hip hop albums in their reporting the they did w/ pop acts.

Ex.
Tha Carter IV:
964,000k Physicals+362,000 Digital=1,326,000.

Technically Wayne is number one.

I wrote this up & some others for this wikipedia mod trying to get it changed b/c it's unfair how someone like Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift & other pop stars gets to accurately show all of their sales, but not Hip Hop acts
In its first week of release, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and sold 496,000 copies in the United States.[111] The entry blocked Nicki Minaj's debut studio album Pink Friday from the top spot with 375,000 sales, with the week marking the first time in two years that the Billboard 200 has seen two albums bow with more than 300,000 units.[111] This gave West his fourth consecutive US number-one album and was higher than the 450,000 first-week sales of his previous album 808s & Heartbreak, with the debut week becoming the fourth-best sales week of 2010.[111] The album's first-week digital sales of 224,000 units marked the fourth-highest sales week for a digitally-downloaded album.

If that's true it'll be the best received Drake album.

I prefer long albums it should be at least an hour
 
If it’s true, very smart and strategic for Drake. It’ll be well received off the simple fact that fans have been wanting a rapping album from drake for the longest.
 
I wanted a rap album when he sounded motivated. Aubrey be sounding straight up bored. The slick **** don't even be hittin like that anymore. Seeing how him & Kanye have been in a creative rut since around the same time (2017-2018), they both could & should help each other. One has way too much going on & the other has robotic tunnel vision.
