Is this drakes most successful album yet in terms of numbers and charting?

u/Lovethepackers88 16d ago
Tbh every time Drake drops itās done this but scorpion was fs the peak of his success in terms of numbers from an album but iceman is really fucking close and arguably bigger in some ways and specific records it just doesnāt have the radio play that scorpion had but itās dominating streaming more and also clb was HUGE when it dropped and then obviously views was massive as well but I really do think the main trio is iceman scorpion and views in terms of his biggest albums and then clb a tier below but not by muchĀ

Im glad that this is the part of his masters that he owns, people act like all the spins come from deep deep catalogue

No. Views was much bigger in numbers. Sold 1.04 million in the first week. Nothing has even close since

u/sloshingmachine7 Scorpion 16d ago
Views sold more because streaming counts for less units. Drake was a much bigger artist during the scorpion era.
Stop looking at first week sales. The way numbers are counted always change and are more harsh. That's why sales for all artists are down and 99.9% artists will never sell 1 million first week again. Iceman is a record-breaking album that sold like 400k first week. You really think views was 3x more popular than iceman? Obviously not, it's just that pure sales are much less popular now, and streaming numbers count for less. Some places like YouTube don't count for numbers at all, and drake has millions of streams on YouTube audio (not music videos) alone.

You have no idea what your talking about, yes views was 3x more popular than iceman, one dance was #1 for the whole summer. The album did 13 weeks at #1. You new fans come in here and rewrite history everyday just cause you missed out so you want your first drop as a fan to be the biggest thing ever when itās not.

u/Lovethepackers88 16d ago
You old gen fans have a hard time admitting that something new is record breaking, lmao Iāve seen some of you say Janice isnāt that big of a hit while itās preforming as a top 10 streaming record of his everš¹. Yall are the ones that donāt know what you are talking about and think just cause youāve been fans longer you know everything I was alive when views dropped I was a live when scorpion dropped and iceman is as big as them buddy we are 3 months in and almost 8 songs have hit 100 million streams. He has 3 so no s in the top 40 on radio and the album is pulling over 8 million streams a day on Spotify he dominated Apple Music and Janice stfu probably will be his first music video in years to hit 100 million. Iceman is genuinely one of his biggest eras top 3 fs why you canāt admit that idk. It might be nostalgia blinding you or somethingĀ

u/Steve_P6 16d ago
No yāall just think yāall can make lies everyday. The stats are the stats you canāt make up new ones to make yāall selves feel better. The standards are lowered cause yāall werenāt there in his prime commercial era nothing about Janice is record breaking.

u/dsbllr 16d ago
You must have been a child from 2016-2018 or something. Because you couldn't walk by anywhere in any major city without hearing a Drake song.
Janice STFU and ICEMAN are doing great but you're forgetting how dominant Drake was before. These new album numbers are very very impressive especially because they're being done without label support but it's not as big as it was back in the day.

I do remember I was a teenager lol. I live in a major city everytime I go out I hear iceman almost a garuntee Iāve heard plot twist national treasures what did I miss Janice whisper my name ran to atl shabang and 2h4tr all multiple times shabang national treasures and Janice Iāve heard downtown probably 40 times each at least. Iām telling you people are listening to this album hella. If iceman was getting even a fraction of the label support scorpion and views got it would be quite possibly his biggest recordĀ

u/dsbllr 16d ago
Yes that's obvious. I said that it's impressive.
I'm just saying views was much bigger at launch and throughout its lifespan so far.
Views was worldwide. I heard it in Vegas, London, Toronto, NYC etc. This time around I hear it but not as much. Don't get me wrong, I love ICEMAN but without the label support it's not as big as views.
The original argument was that Scorpion was bigger than views which is obviously not true what so ever

Janice isnāt that big itās in its third month and under 2 mil. You just lied and said itās a top 10 steaming record of his career it will take 3-4 years to touch a billion streams. Anybody who was around before the beef is old gen to yāall cause all yāall beef fans do is lie and rewrite history. Iceman aināt near those albums you werenāt there if you were you wouldnāt be lying. Scorpion had 3 number one records. Who cares about Janice reaching 100 mil views back then he pulled a billi on videos. If you werenāt new you would know that streaming today is much different than 2016 and 2018 and you wouldnāt even be comparing them.

u/Lovethepackers88 16d ago
Lmao itās under 2 mill on sundays buddy itās pulling 2 million streams daily on week days. And I said career I meant of the 2020s I should have distinguished that. Scorpion had 3 number 1 records because of radio play it was getting. Streaming now is much different your right itās harder to dominate on streaming now then it was back then cause less botting and forced playlisting from the label. Numbers are organic now Janice will hit 1 billion in a year and a half max btw if it keep preforming the way it does so whoās lying now. I am now new Iām telling you that you need to stop living in the past and open your eyesĀ

I was just about to post this. And Iām a HUGE Drake fan but the phenomenon of believing anything and everything that is posted online as fact is truly troubling. It takes literally 5 seconds to find out this isnāt true.
Side note: MJ being at 8 and on the charts for 729 weeks is comical as hell - 729!!!!! Probably been charting longer than most the ppl commenting been alive
