Pretty sure this record was previously held by Kendrick.

I don't like things being taken away from Kendrick

 

Cool for him but album was pretty meh. Felt it on some songs but not a ton of them.

 

Kendrick is on this album, so he's at least a part of it still?

 

Ha! Good point.

 

Having too many songs on your album will help streaming numbers. Just ask Drake.

 

I'm probably responsible for 80% of those streams

 

Having songs that are enjoyable to listen to also help streaming numbers.

Good for Abel. I think the album is fun and I find his popularity fascinating; I wouldn't have expected his success to be as big as it is. He is quite consistent on each release and I enjoy his music.

 

pretty much yeah

 

we're probably gonna start seeing a lot of really large, unwieldy albums getting dropped. views numbers so inflated due to singles and tracklist length but so enticing for labels

 

I feel like this may have applied to some parts on TLOP. Like making FSMH pt 1 and 2 different tracks, and making Frank's Track separate from Wolves.

 

Yeah I quite like him too. It's just super transparent when these albums become overblown to up the streams. That was a main reason for TLOP being updated as well I'd wager.
