Weeks before another chart titan is said to surprise the world with a new LP, Kendrick Lamar has learned that his decision to drop his new LP ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’ like a generous thief in the night has paid off…big time.
Set free a week before its original release date, the album has now set a first-day streaming record on the streaming service ‘Spotify’, spun 9.6 million times worldwide in the space of a day.
Doing so has seen him snatch the record away from Michael Bolton’s ‘Christmas’ LP and earn him a reported $44,160 in a single day globally, outperforming Drake’s ‘If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late’ and Madonna’s ‘Rebel Heart’ on the platform.
Madonna? Doesn’t ring a bell
Your fave’s inspiration!
so? if only streams equated to sales.
Coming from a FLaga stan?
Of course this would come from a F*** stan since their fave isn’t even top 20 on Spotify.
I know he’s talented but his latest album is complete trash… take it from a supporter of his last album
2pac,nas,drake,jcole,and common >>>>> this nappy headed b******
Iggy has you so pressed that you now hate Grammy award winning multi platinum KING Kendrick Lamar kii
why is your dirty filthy low self esteem low life uneducated prostituting ass talking to me? …. you are a TROLL good bye nene stan
And you are PRESSED over Iggy and now Kendrick. Kii
J cole ? B**** please —>______/
Do these streams count towards his album sales bc of Billboard new rules? If so, how many units is this?
I think it’s like 100k
But keep in mind this is worldwide billboard is only us charts
1500 streams equal one album sales so just a little over 7000 copies
I thought every 100k is a sale
i’m not a fan but congratz to him.
Wow, I’m happy for him. I’m glad artist are releasing their albums the surprise way because all of the illegal downloading or Bootleg way of getting their music is really cheating them. I think sells will be a hell of a lot more accurate now.

One of the most creative albums I’ve heard in my life. Hip hop has been on a down due to the trying to stay relevant by following a trend. Kendrick did something with this album that most of these rappers know anything about and that is talking about something, empowerment and a movement. If you don’t love this album it’s because your ears are ignorant to good music
Only the most delusional cow can say mediocre ass coleslaw is better than king kendrick
J Cole who… Bye girl
KING KENDRICK SLAYMAR,
But honestly this whole Streams converting to sales shitt is confusing and for the birds, Relating to charts. I wish him the best though! He has the most potential as a rapper!

Slay. His album is about equal to GKMC imo.
