Because nicki went pop

Pop doesn't push albums though other than a select few. No shade but look at Katy's sales.

In Nicki's case, the loyal urban fans went out to buy it the first few months but the later hits helped push it's sales long-term wise.

Funny thing is, "Super Bass" isn't even on the standard edition, unless the label restocked with "Super Bass" on the SE or the deluxe sold off SB.

Headlines is doing nice things though.

He still has a lot of hype, but I agree with the sales predictions.

This is good news for Coldplay & Kelly Clarkson.

Tbh I think Coldplay always had Nr. 1 on lock.

And TML could have sold more if it was handled right. I shake my head at how YMCMB treated it.

lol true But super bass(which is a pop song) help sell the album though

I agree. I don't think TML sold a super amount because the era went dead after the 2nd single.

This is true.

But I guess my point is, Drake felt much bigger than Nicki. He had numerous hype from So Far Gone, and I even remember predictions of 1 million first week, but he went on to only sell 1.4-1.5 million total. Maybe it was the choices of singles after "Find Your Love" or they waited too late after the SFG hype.

True! so did Nicki Collaboration after Collaboration But yea i get what you're saying

Drake is a rap artist, they don't do well anywhere outside North America.

In the USA/Canada, Drake is a far bigger artist than Rihanna.

Is that a joke? In Canada, Rihanna is a thousand times more successful than Drake. Drake's biggest hit in Canada is… you guessed it, What's My Name?

Yeah, but it's not a lie that Drake could've gotten close to them.

Agreed.

Do you think he will outdo TML's first week? I think he definitely will now. This album is going to be better than TML.

[Cap10Planet]

Drake could have topped Coldplay, I think.

I don't feel that "buzz" or "hype" with this new record for Coldplay this time around, though their base seems to be very loyal. That would have been a competitive battle. But Coldplay should easily take the top spot over Kelly.

I'm not sure. I don't think his popularity has waned so much since then, so it's feasible. But I do think it will be better quality.

As I said before, Jay would had got em samples cleared in a jiffy.

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL **** THIS **** WAS what i was looking forward to after all my facking exams

[Quiqui4eva]

I think it's a great idea!

1) 7 days from now
2) I'm sure many people will think he still has the album set on his birthday, so I think he'll have impressive second week sales.
3) First week sales are always impressive for everyone. Drake is one of the few rappers that open with huge numbers the first week. Since it's his B-Day the following week, he will maintain his sales for week 2.

Cheap, but smart move from him.
