    Adele didn't even do two mil and Adele is much more popular than Drake and had a number one single at the time.

    The chick has two diamond certified (10 x platinum albums) and one sold over 20 mil. Drake ain't nowhere near Adele's stature. Housewives and fat ? love Adele.

    This is without streaming and Youtube numbers to inflate numbers too.

    So Drake about to outsell Beyonce in one weeek than she did in two weeks nevermind all these other rappers alive.

    Anyone who actually thinks Drake actually sold all them albums is gullible. It's pretty obvious Apple is fudging his numbers because they have a vested interest to see him succeed (rivalry against Spotify, Tidal,etc).


    Drake is nowhere near as popular as he was when he released Take Care and doesn't have the hit record or buzz. At his peak he only did half a mil first week.

    What game have u been watchin

    Yea something seems fishy.... Bieber Adele or Taylor Swift are more popular than Drake and he bout to out do them in first week sells all on a album that you could only get from Apple??? Something seems a lil off bout that

    Congrats to Drake on the numbers but why is there an infatuation with first week sales? Drake is a superstar nobody should be surprised.

    What about sustained and continual success? Taylor Swift sell albums throughout the entire year same with Adele. Good look for hip hop no doubt but who gives a ? how much anyone sells if the product isn't good? Objectively speaking that is.

    "Yall too infatuated with the ? numbers/
    Which make easy for me to divide and conquer"

    Lol at Cole & Sean being better. And I'm a fan of both those ? .

    ? wanna complain about Drakes "lack of growth" when Cole been rapping about the same ? since Warm Up. These artists have their niche and stick to it. Nothing wrong with that. But you can't criticize one for it and not the other

    & Sean FINALLY dropped a better than average studio album and now he all of a sudden above Drake lol come on now

    As far as people expecting different subject matter 90% of rap subject matter is redundant, even with the greats people love. ? the last album people can agree with Jay Z was great was American Gangster where he was doing the same drug talk he's been doing since the 90's. People tend to not like when the rappers they like start talking about different ? . The thing is, just keep it interesting and if Drake didn't hit that w/ this album then it is what it is
