...I'm from the four, but I love me a threesome
DM her, delete it, she my lil' secret
He tryna diss me to blow up, I peep it
I can't respond, we just go at your people
If I left some racks on the bed, you can keep it
This shit gettin' deeper and deeper, I dig it
My shovel wasn't bent, I was broke, had to fix it
A shark in the water, you swim with the lil' fishes
I hit today, by tomorrow, she miss it
I grab her neck, she look up, then I kiss it
I'm not a GOAT, but I fit the description
I like to pour, so I get the prescription
We walk around with them bands in our britches
This gun ain't gon' jam, when I blow, I ain't missin'
I'm droppin' hit after hit, I'm just chillin'
But I'll send a hit while I chill with my children
Bigger the business, the bigger the office
I fucked 'round and found me a swag, then I caught up
They call for my artists, they makin' me offers
I don't even bargain, I'll start from the bottom
I lost a Ferrari, Las Vegas, Nevada
I woke up the followin' day and went harder
I'm crackin' my shell now, they see that I'm smarter
I gotta get money, I love to get charter
I gave her four Birkins and one's for her daughter
I can't let 'em down, walk around with my guard up
I'm screamin' out "YOLO," yeah, that's still the motto
I know I be on some shit that they ain't thought of

Ugh, this is a record that should’ve been unbeatable for years to come. Also, the fact that this could wind up being Lil Baby’s first #1 instead of The Bigger Picture or even Wants and Needs is extremely disappointing to me. |

I never thought he would beat Scorpion’s numbers with this, especially considering he went into this with no hits at the moment and no prior hits on the album. Just crazy.
Yeah he’ll probably decrease relatively hard throughout the week but this is already a win. Over a decade of doing huge openings and he’s turning 35 - not really much you can criticize with this run.

ABBA at #198 on US Spotify. Pretty good considering the Drake/Kanye albums

He's Drake, he doesn't need big hits to sell the album or gain attention. tbh, I expected higher numbers than Scorpion. He's still popular, his beef with Kanye is huge and Spotify is definitely more popular and has more listeners in 2021. I'm not a fan of this album, at all, but congrats Drake. He proved once again he's the biggest artist in the last 15 years. Deservedly or not, he's #1. |

Pulse 🤝 Setting unrealistic commercial expectations for Drake and only Drake and then acting unimpressed when he manages to meet them.
No other artist is even coming close to these numbers. This is a huge deal.
Scorpion held the first-day Spotify record for over 3 years and no one came close. CLB extends that record even further. Congratulations, Drake!

And yes - that effects Drake too. Dark Lane Demo Tapes didn’t do higher numbers than More Life with similar build up. And yeah Drake doesn’t need a normal promotional cycle to do big numbers but that doesn’t mean he will do record numbers each time. Obviously we were expecting him to do big numbers, but how big is another story. |

Also whatever first week opening HITS is initially projecting, just take 50-100k off of that. They literally overpredict every single Drake album lol.

I remember how huge it was to have a song over 10M streams, now it's not a big deal. Olivia does it with ease, Xmas music, "Stay" too. |

Hollywood’s Bleeding did less opening streams than Beerbongs & Bentleys even with “Circles”, “Sunflower”, and “Wow” preceding the release. The fact CLB topped Scorpion with NO prior hits on the album or going into the album release makes it that much more insane. |

I don't know why they always do this with his albums. It's like they set him up. They'll overestimate his numbers and then the projections will drop throughout the week. I hope they do things differently this time around. |

If he had pushed Fair trade instead of dat glg crap he'd made atleast a million more streams, it's high on sales & streams (even on yt) despite having 0-none playlisting. Dat clearly signifies it's resonating well with da audience

The big hit will probably be Way 2 Sexy (tiktok) or Fair Trade (general hip hop appeal) and those also happen to be among the not-entirely-terrible songs off the album so I'm fine with that

I've noticed that one of the major reasons people are disappointed with this album is because they can't find any clear hits.
Just listening to the album and the fact that he kept LNCL/Wants and Needs/What's Next off the album, common sense should suggest that he isn't shooting for hits with this album.
Halsey just did the same thing and the same Pulse members who defended and could understand her decision to release her album completely without a single beforehand can't fathom that with Drake. How predictable.
