Drake has a contract with Apple Music. One of the probable conditions is that anything he releases must go through itunes. Every track he has released since Apple Music is on itunes. Even Back to Back which was just a random diss track.

It's because Future's in the middle of his album cycle for DS2 and LA Reid would've blocked the release if they didn't release it commercially.

Both can release what they need to, but it's erroneous to label this work (and Drake's last) as a mixtape when it's released for commercial sale. It's not really a big deal to call it a studio album anyway. It doesn't make it any less hip-hop worthy

He's still selling 450K-475K with sales only.

[simmnfierzig]

500k is a super early prediction that can be off by quite a bit in both directions...

It's not easy to predict the full week after the first day. We will get a better idea when they post the next prediction

[Givenchy]

Whew, King Drake!



I love the mixtape, scholarships, jumpman & diamonds dancing >>>

Y'all should get into it, it's literally all round!

[sad girl]

I'm fuming that Drake sneak attacked Lana on her release week.

Not Honeymoon's predictions going down.

I don't know what's so funny about it when the numbers are on the range they predicted?

Yes I know. If she goes on like this. The next era will be below 100k. Honeymoon could have been 200k. If she promoted. And could have been above 60k in UK where they love her.

But she doesn't want to.

Coulda. Woulda..

Sadly :cry:

This is exactly her plan since Born to Die era

Drake flopping

[umich]

That drop

The fact that Taylor is consistently shifting albums without a single television performance in almost a year is very remarkable.

[Princedele21]

Lana still #2.

[alexanderao]

Anywhere from 340-360k is still amazing though in the current sales climate. It is just further proof of Drake's power.

Fetty will probably do around half of what WATTBA is doing for pure sales.

[Kings.]

That drop

Still great numbers for a mixtape

also Lana and Mac being stable

[Nemo]

King better snatch the #1 spot

True, but that's still great though... If it sells less than 412,000 (The Weeknd's first week numbers), then he will have the 3rd highest first-week debut in the US (2015) as well as the highest with his first 'mixtape'.

OP updated and title changed to reflect new data. Mac Miller's estimates continue going up. That's amazing

[Ger-55]

Yes, keep dropping bitch. Now we need Future/Aubrey to sell 300k LESS
