Drake.

Drake is coming off of the huge singles HB and Work and 1D is coming too. I don't see how anyone can look at his previous first weeks and adjust for the fact that just in the past year his profile has heightened exponentially an still think that B6 will have a bigger opening.

Take the Stan goggles off sistren. Sometimes you lose.

Drake. Beyoncé alienated a chunk of her white audience with Formation.

Not to mention Jumpman, Back to Back and Energy. Even songs like the My Way remix were huge.

This is about the third or fourth time this thread has been made.

I suppose they will be close. I'll give it up to Bey

Sometimes you might lose, sistren.

The album will probably do much worse to them. I'd be impressed if Bey can pull off success from this. When was the last time someone was successful with a controversial album?

Already did. #406

Make sense when you quote me.

I didn't say his albums didn't sell, I said they don't have longevity. IYRTITL took months to sell a million dispite selling 500k first week.

WATTBA sold over 300k first week, but barely sold 500k to date.

His albums sell good the first week or so, and that's it.

Drake

But #B6 will be a TIDAL exclusive anyhow

Even if Drake opens bigger, I don't care because they are not releasing the same week. I want Bey to debut at #1, that's enough.

ANTI

It wasn't successful nor controversial, sis.

If You're Reading This It's Too Late was the sixth best selling album of 2015.

What A Time To Be Alive is still top 20 on the Billboard 200, If You're Reading This... is top 50, Take Care is 74, and Nothing Was the Same is 86.

Besides Guns N Roses greatest hits compilation and 21 there are no other 5 year old or older albums charting above Take Care.

Yeezus was

That's YOUR Subjective opinion

Neither of them will lose. They're not in the same lane and there's no competition. But this site is clearly out of touch with reality. Drake will sell more and it won't even be close. He has much more appeal right now.

No, she alienated racist people. Her white fans, like myself, are still very much hyped up for the album.
