May 9, 20205 yr The album might climb to #1 in the US as the biggest threats are NAV and Kehlani and they are not "forces" by any means although capable of hitting 80k-ish.
May 9, 20205 yr I was thinking it's possible he could get #1 in his second week by default but his streaming numbers have died off pretty quickly (not to the same extent as they have in the UK but still), I would expect NAV and Kehlani to both pull decent first weeks indeed (NAV got #1 with his last album and this new album's lead single was his highest charting song to date by far, though interestingly Kehlani seems to be doing a fair bit better than him on US Apple Music so far). Watch the next #1 just be another random country artist buoyed by ticket bundles though :lol: (aside: very bold of artists to still be pushing forward with concert ticket bundles at this current time).
May 9, 20205 yr Well this doesn't say that Drake will be #1 but kinda hints that way "NAV, Kehlani and Lil Durk will earn the top debuts next week as Drake's Dark Lane Demo Tapes goes into its second week." NAV (XO/Republic) 70-75k total activity, 11-13k albums Kehlani (TSNMI/Atlantic) 60-65k, 5-7k Lil Durk (Alamo/Geffen/Interscope) 45-50k, 1-2k https://hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=321...EEKEND-FORECAST
May 10, 20205 yr NAV apparently releasing a deluxe of his album tomorrow (yes, already) which should push his numbers up more.
May 10, 20205 yr LMAO at those early deluxes Lil Uzi Vert waited for a week and The Weeknd two or three.
May 10, 20205 yr And in another plot twist Bad Bunny has released a surprise album just now. Missed a couple of days of sales but his previous album was pretty huge. I think it looks like NAV's deluxe version is similar to Uzi's in that it's essentially an entire second album but counted as a deluxe for chart purposes :lol: (sorry this is getting a little off topic but it's not like NAV and Bad Bunny are particularly relevant enough to BuzzJack to carry their own threads anyway xx)
May 10, 20205 yr What is it with these deluxe editions coming out a week or 2 after the actual release, I hope it doesn't become a new trend I'd rather wait a few months for new songs
May 10, 20205 yr Author it seems to me that some US rappers are just using tactics like this to artificially boost their chart positions/sales. see also Travis Scott bundling his way to the Hot 100 #1 on multiple occasions.
May 10, 20205 yr Billboard confirmed now that Kenny Chesney did indeed get the #1 (and actually by a bigger margin than HDD's figures).
May 11, 20205 yr Author don't suppose he has any chance of beating Nav next week then? shame for him to lose his streak because of Kenny's bundling.
May 11, 20205 yr Never expected Drake to have a new release that missed Billboard #1 anytime soon :o Justice for beating Dangerous Woman to #1 with Views to be honest. In other news, Lil Baby was apparently originally meant to have a verse on Toosie Slide but never sent it to Drake in time.
May 11, 20205 yr In other news, Lil Baby was apparently originally meant to have a verse on Toosie Slide but never sent it to Drake in time. What is with people not caring enough to finish verses for big Drake singles? First Trippie Redd on 'God's Plan' and now this... :lol: I can't really see how Lil Baby would have made sense on 'Toosie Slide' though so no complaints lol
May 11, 20205 yr Drake has tied with Madonna for most Billboard top 10 singles (38) this week with Pain 1993 debuting at #7.
May 12, 20205 yr Author Drake extends his lead over Glee with now 222 chart entries - with all the songs from this project making the chart. 04 Toosie Slide 07 Pain 1993 14 Chicago Freestyle 19 D4L 25 Not You Too 27 Desires 30 Time Flies 32 Deep Pockets 34 Demons 35 When To Say When the others are yet to be revealed and presumably aren't top 40.
May 12, 20205 yr 'From Florida With Love' is #45, 'Losses' #51 and 'War' #52. Kind of cool to see Playboi Carti getting a top 10 hit out of this but a shame it's with one of the worst songs on the mixtape / one of the worst verses I have heard from him :lol: Drake would already have the sole record for most top 10 hits ahead of Madonna now if not for being uncredited on 'SICKO MODE' - nonetheless, he should definitely overtake her this year since he already announced a full album coming in the summer.
May 12, 20205 yr It's ridiculously easy to get an album track into top 40 these days, if one's a A/B list male rapper.
