iCpro 14,846 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Born This Way, Reputation, and 25 all sold more than this album first week, and I can guarantee that the songs on those albums were more listened to in the first week, yet they didn’t occupy 7/10 of the top 10, because those plays were all counted under one album sale. All those Drake songs in the top 10, excluding the singles, should have their streams count towards the total for the album, because they would have been played as part of the album. If Gaga, Taylor and Adele weren’t able to do this with pure sales, then Drake sure as hell shouldn’t be able to do it with streaming. 08, 09, 11, 13, 16, 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mean to stick a bee in your bonnet, but he won't release the physical CD's until the 13th.. So, it doesn't really parallel.

freebit 6,240 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Drake is just so boring, his reign mystifies me. That said, I feel like someone completely terrible is going to come along and perform just as well or better and I'll be wishing for the halcyon days of people going crazy for Drake's mediocrity. Anyway, after further thinking I really don't have a problem with the charts as they are. Billboard is probably doing the best they can, but the formula is never going to be accurate because music consumption has become so fractured, and there is so much room for error and corporate meddling (like Tidal cooking the books). I hope people just quit revering the charts so much - like fans of TV shows have quit caring so much about Nielsen's ratings and rankings outside of whether they're low enough for their fave show to be cancelled (and even then they're irrelevant to Netflix/Hulu/Prime etc.). For example, no one cared much about Mad Men having low ratings, and no critic was vapid enough to call it a flop and question why it should exist. It was able to be evaluated on its own artistic merits. This is ideally where the culture surrounding music should be at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
