Hmm, not an exciting lineup.

I feel like plenty of rappers have big drops from their first week sales, so no surprise for Drake.

Happy to see Bey staying afloat!

Is this Mike Posner's sophomore? How did his previous album (or if he had others, the one with Cooler Than Me on it) perform?

[blackbeatxx]

acts like Posner, Flo rida etc really shouldn't care to release albums. i dont see the point lol

Exactly, his drop is the same as his other albums.

Future, Meek Mill, Kendrick, Kanye, and every other rapper who's also released albums in the last year has also had similar drops after debuting #1.

Lol that is exactly our point. His drop is exactly the same as his previous album and his 3rd week will probably be low too. NO growth eventhough he's arguably more popular than ever.

The growth is clearly evident in his first week sales AND streams.

I really don't get why some of y'all are trying to come for Drake's sales when he outsold majority of this year's and last year's albums' totals just with this debut week.

They honestly should just do EPs and charge around 6 bucks. Fans may be more willing to purchase.

Yes. 31 Minutes to Takeoff (2010) did 29,000 and debuted at #8. With the sales decline and the fact that his lead single was an EDM remix, his current FW sales aren't that surprising.

Charts matter?

Yes. Bey is above the charts but we want receipts to slap haters.

May 13 is Drake on Spotify, so he will block Meghan.

May 20 is also Blake Shelton and his last album did 101,000 in first week. It will be competition beetwen many people (even Beyonce if she will stay strong)

Fifth harmony is not doing low 60's. They will do 80-125k with SPS. Don't do the girls like that with that ugly prediction

They're not predictions, just their previous albums' sales during the debut week. I see both them and Dierks Bentley growing as they got bigger since their previous albums.

Drake has got some of your pressedT.
