So does this mean he's outsold Drake's mixtape with no singles or promotion with his highly anticipated, promoted, 3 year following new album?
Nope but he's doesn't have too. TPAB is still the best rap album and overall album of 2015. This album is definitely a front runner for Album of the Year and Best Rap Album. Drake's album is more commercial appealing than TPAB. Kendrick's better than Drake. Kendrick is the best rapper of our generation. He already been called an ICON already.
Then why does she only have 1 of those 18 hits charting on the T1500 of UK iTunes, if the public recognizes all of them?
Because Celebration and The Immaculate Collection both slay. TIC was top 10 on itunes here recently, and Celebration has re-entered the chart 7 times. TIC has re-entered 46 times.
My dad had Ray Of Light on CD so I didn't have to buy it, my friend has True Blue and TIC in her house, my other friend found Like A Prayer and TIC on vinyl Mariah nowhere to be seen
