Drakeavelli wins again.
Drakeavelli??……. L
every time drake kills the sales. Every time drake makes kendrick more and more irrelevent.
Exactly. But don’t forget chris brown also becoming irrelevant despite him crawling to SO many artists. That bitch ends up beating women and ripping off drake.
How does one artist relate to the other? Are you referring to sales? Of course Drake would be at the top because he just dropped a project and Kendrick hasn’t dropped a project since March so they aren’t really comparable.
Tell ’em, Sparkle!
I was really trying to figure out lmao
Drake beating dumbo out in total sales though
@OVO Chris Brown didn’t become irrelevant, he didn’t crawl to anyone for hits, and he didn’t rip off Aubrey. @Dan Drake is a pop star who bought copies of his own albums.
When was the last time brown had a top ten hit on his own? He crawled to artists like kid ink for hits and he jocks drake.
Kid Ink can’t even get a hit song by himself, he crawled to Chris Brown. Plus, Chris never jocked Aubrey at all.
Explain worth it then. That made the top 20. Chris brown hasn’t had a hit in a long ass time despite copying drake. He copied drake since his degrassi days in 2001.
That’s a girl group song and Kid Ink crawled to them for a hit. He doesn’t have any hit songs by himself. Chris Brown been had hits and he never copied Aubrey at all. You can’t copy someone who wasn’t making music when they were on a successful TV show.
How is Drake making Kendrick irrelevant? Kendrick’s still having decent sales. Hell, TPAB’s 2nd week sales ate WATTBL’s 2nd week sales for lunch. Hell, even after the third week they haven’t caught up. If anything, Drake’s making himself irrelevant via oversaturation. Seriously, he’s planning to release ANOTHER album at the end of the year.
fuck drake with your fucking pop. this shits not is rap.
rap is pac. biggie. eminem, k dot, jay z .
drake is the new pussie pop star.
Rap is drake. Drake is rap
Crap is drake, drake is crap.
128,654 dummies bought Fetty’s album…smh
what did i tell y’all? what the fuck did i tell y’all?! fetty wap scored a #1 album and went over 100,000. joe budden was so scared of going toe to toe with fetty, so he pushed his album back. lol, wasn’t like he was gonna sell more anyway. all you haters kill yourselves now. fetty is officially here to stay.
Wait a minute the guy who had the #1 song in the country and 2 hits in the top ten only sells 75k physical units and 125k if you do the “fuzzy math”
Future did those numbers with no top ten hits.
This is a flop. This is why artists are dropping albums immediately fetty took to long to drop trap queen is so old to push sales many months later
Fetty Crap will be irrelevant next year. He’s a novelty act that no one takes seriously.
He jumped into the top 5 again despite your hate with 679. He topped charts with a great sales amount for a debut album.
For another shitty pop song that’s just a Trap Queen knockoff. His sales are shit for a debut album and he actually sold 75K.
It’s hiphop mixed with a little R&B. Including streaming still counts and it was over 120k total.
679 is pop music, not hip-hop or R&B. It only sold 75K in pure sales. Still a flop, no matter what.
Still decent for a hiphop album debut. And streams do count. He still gets his money unlike you.
The album is actually pop and its sales are terrible.
Plus, unlike your groupie ass, I have a job, so I don’t care about Fetty Crap’s bank account. He’ll be broke and irrelevant eventually.
Just remember: Chingy’s debut album went platinum. Look at how relevant he is now. Fetty is just another flavor of the year artist who’ll be forgotten by the start of next year.
He already has 3 top 10 hits. Fetty will not be going away anytime soon. Chingy was pop and hiphop artists live forever unless they choose pop.
That doesn’t prove anything. Fetty Crap will be going away soon. He’s pop just like Chingy and nobody lives forever, so your last statement makes no sense.
Janet Jackson (BMG) 100-110k albums, 103-113k SPS
Tamar Braxton (Epic) 35-40k, 39-44k
Clutch (Weathermaker) 19-22k, 20-23k
Sevendust (7Bros) 18-21k, 19-22k
Trivium (Roadrunner) 14-17k, 15-18k
Avicii (Island) 11-14k, 14-17k
Collective Soul (Vanguard) 11-14k, 12-15k
Winery Dogs (Loud & Proud) 8-10k, 8-10k
Eagles of Death Metal (UMe) 8-10k, 8-10k
Queensryche (Century Media) 8-10k, 8-10k
Damn, epic fail for the washed up janet.
More like an epic success as she’s still selling more than most artists after more than 30 years in the game. Washed up? Not a chance.
I hate how they ‘re formatted this shit.. just put this week sales and total album sales.fuck!!
Im with you man. Just tell me what the album sold for the week and total album sales. I use to look for DX for this information. If I find another site that can tell me that I’ll let you know.
Drake owns 2015, just like he owned 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. If Drake was putting out albums back in 1995-2000 each one would have gone double diamond by now. He’s hip-hop’s all-time great. Never compromised his style. Often imitated but never duplicated. Salute to the 6God and the whole OVOSound crew for bringing real hip-hop and soul back to the mainstream.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He had the top hiphop selling albums of 2010, 2011, 2013, and 2015.
No, he didn’t, Danny boy. He didn’t have the best selling albums of those years at all.
I know the writers read these comments, so why not give the readers what they ask for every week and also put TOTAL ALBUM SALES?
