850k with a Q1 release and an iTunes-only release is phenomenal. ATRLers trying to downplay it when most people they like can't even pull in half of those numbers in total nowadays.
850k in 2016 is probably more impressive than 1M in 2008. to me at least.
it def is, esp considering it's digital only.
Drake is most likely the biggest male artist right now, and this decade.
it's Drake's and Adele's world. with Bieber and Swift as lieutenants
