That's so huge considering 100% of them are paid. I wonder how much Anti has done there but we probably will never know

iHype.

2.7B from Spotify & 1B from Apple Music = 3.7B on audio streaming = 2.466M stream equivalent albums.

2.4M sales + 2.466M SEA = 4.866M equivalent

It's passed 5M SPS WW (once you factor in smaller streaming services and if you count TEA) and the album was released 5 months ago.

that's huge considering AM is much smaller than Spotify. and it may give us a hunch on how their numbers are in general, altho Drake might be a bit bigger on AM specifically since he had/has a deal with them.
so maybe 1/3 of Spotify's total?

The #s are probably great all around, but as a longtime user of Apple Music I can tell you that hip-hop music is disproportionately more popular than any other genre. Anytime a rapper drops a new album, they dominate the top 10/20.

A true king. I feel like US / Canadian members will grasp how his come up and hustle has been so consistent and all those years of hard work are paying off on such a huge scale.
