Drake + MJ: 75 weeks at #1 combined. I'm hyped. +Could you imagine if that song went #1. Assuming SAD! gets a second week at #1, that would be 3 weeks in a row an posthumous artist is #1 on the Hot 100.

Since the album has 2 discs, is it platinum after 500,000 SPS?

Damn I guess he doesn’t care about certifications then. Damn. 10 minutes in the difference between a diamond album and a 5x platinum album.

DRAKE MAKING HISTORY Since blasting off the launchpad early Friday morning, Drake’s Scorpion is rocketing into the stratosphere like nothing before it in the streaming era., as the 25-track album sets new records by the hour. Will it be the first album ever to blaze past 1 billion streams in its first week?Scorpion is averaging 10m streams per hour at Spotify, and its tracks occupy the Top 25 slots at Apple Music. Buckle up, because we’re watching history being made in real time. Drake's fifth official studio album, Scorpion consists of an "A Side" and a "B Side" and includes previously released smashes "Nice for What" and "God's Plan," while featuring the likes of Michael Jackson, Jay-Z and Ty Dolla $ign. Speaking of Spotify, they're working in conjunction with Republic, Cash Money and Young Money Records on its first-ever global dedicated artist takeover, dubbed “ScorpionSZN” in honor of Scorpion. It is the first time a single artist has taken over multiple Spotify playlists on the same day.
Drake is on the cover of RapCaviar, Beast Mode, Today’s Top Hits, Morning Commute and other playlists.Scorpion follows the 2016 studio LP Views (now four-times platinum) and the 2017 mixtape More Life. For perspective, Views did more than 855k in first-week album sales and about 1.07m in total activity. At the time, the Apple Music exclusive broke records, becoming the first album to top a million on one digital service. More Life was released wide and bowed with 505k in total activity—essentially half its predecessor—but it wasn't a "proper album," and there was no physical. By 11pm PT on Thursday night, the new YMCMB/Republic project had flown to #1 at iTunes, reportedly selling 30k units overnight. With 22 songs, More Life shattered the one-week streaming record last year—finishing with 385m—and held it until labelmate Post Malone took the throne. How big will Scorpion get?

That 1 bn probably refers to ww streams which is a tough target but possible considering the album has 25 tracks

1bn would be 40million per track... which seems doable for Drake, IMO.

I mean, 1 billion streams is "only" 667,000 units.

Didn't really know that 1bn is "only" 667k. Adele's record is probably safe for now, thankfully.

If 1 billion is WW, then the US portion is maybe 350-400 million, which would “only” be around 250k SPS, if the current ration is 1500:1. 1B is US only.

I am a huge fan, and I was not up at 12am lol. I however, listened to the album 3 times today already. 30k in the late night hours is more than fine. This album is breaking records and will without a doubt be over 1 million SPS
