Drake - Views (April 29, 2016) Album • Page 29

Good old compact disc

 

Ah, so those 250 million streams are still bolstered by hotline bling and the other singles: Drake “Sold” 1.2M Copies Of Views Only Thanks To Old “Hotline Bling” Streams

 

Oh. That's pretty lame.

 

I'm still don't understand how 250 millions streams only equals a couple hundred thousand "sales." Seems like such a low percentage.

 

1500 streams = 1 sale

 

They've gotta scale it that way so sales numbers don't get unrealistically high (or more than they already do)

 

Although doing the math out still only turns out 166k from streams, so if the 1.2 mil figure is correct then he still cracked a million

 

so 1.2 is the RIAA number and we have to wait for Billboard number... I think

 

Does RIAA count youtube streams? Cause that article above claims Hotline Bling has 400 Million Spotify streams and 700 million youtube streams, so doesnt that mean the album has more than 250 million total streams?

 

1.2 appears to be the global number

 

I believe YouTube only counts to single, not album, sales

 

that's just wild

 

Welcome to album sales in 2016 where everything's made up and the points don't matter

 

this is cool, its a couple years old, but its an interview with this super sweet lady from georgia who was drakes vocal coach from right after so far gone through at least 2014 http://jezebel.com/a-chat-with-dionne-osborne-the-vocal-coach-who-changed-1658044149

 

Still Here is so good. One of my favorites from the album.

 

Haha I posted that on the previous page, it's so ridiculous

 

oops I looked, deleted it

 

well that's super weird...

 

That's super interesting, I understand all the shortening beacause at 1:21, the digital version wouldn't fit on a CD, but the changes unrelated to track lengths are interesting

 

Feel No Ways being clean has to be a mistake, right? That's really weird.

 

Pretty crazy how much this album has grown on me. I'd say this is just about equal to Nothing Was the Same for me. Still not up there with Take Care though and it never will be.

 

Cool new track ft. Majid Jordan that dropped on OVO Sound Radio yesterday
