I’m sorry but it’s all streams
I know… could he really brag about those sales? Not trying to compare anyone to Adele but most majority of her album sales are physical not streamed.
Don’t blame it on streams, he outsold lemonade in PURE SALES within days. Don’t be bitter.
Are you being serious they both at 1.5m in us and lemonade is at 2.6 WW outselling views. Don’t try to bring Beyoncé down by trying to praise drake cos no one mentioned her here.
Do you really hate Beyonce this bad? You’re always trying to bash her name why, I’m navy but I have to admit lemonade shits on every album this year.And in pure sales,lemonade has outsold views
I never thought the day would come were an album would be 4x platinum with streams. Music industry sure has changed lol. On a serious note streams is not someone actually purchasing your album or single so how does an individual artists profit from it?
Since those are actual sales then I’m guessing the same way how artists get with physical sales?
Wonder when he’s coming out the closet as the first successful Gay rapper other than Queen Latifiah and MC Lyte
Congrats!
He wants to be Kanye West so bad
kanye who?
Kanye West
4x platinum???? LMAO Seriously! This streaming bullpshit is exaggerating basic people´s success like way too damn much.
How when this only would happen with those who have hot music, if your album sucks then you will not be listened to or not have the same amount of success as those with hot music. In reality your fave would end up making more money on streams than physical sales since people would be more likely to listen to new or old artists but fear they wont like the material thus not buying the album. Stop being stupid and realize that streaming is the future and there wont be any where that would have CD drive compatibility. Look at the technological environment and please let me know when physical copies are going to stick around.
Outsold Beyonce in pure sales
Syke.
THIS IS WHY STREAMING IS NOT GOOD NOR FAIR. THIS IS A JOKE AND HE USUALLY HAS GOOD SALES SO HE COULD’VE DONE GOOD WITHOUT STREAMING.
LMAO ALL THESE BITTER ROACHES MAD CUZ VIEWS PISSSED IN MINUTE MAID ALL YEAR LMAO.
I am sick of overrated drake releasing a new song every 2 days he needs to take a 4 year break he is so overhyped it took 7 years for him to get a number 1
Beyoncé better represent although Adele will win 2 Grammys from what I viewed & Beyoncé may win 1-2 also…
Nice
