but we also have artists like Bieber, Taylor & Kanye, outstreaming their previous releases. I also think this is extremely impressive and really huge, but I just don't think it'sΒ unexpected. Plus, we shouldn't discount the pent up demand for an actual studio album (not discounting the EPs, compilation and mixtape that were released to fill the gap) from Drake. Slightly over 3 years is the longest he has taken between a release of this type. Also, while the top songs don't seem to get week in and out record-breaking numbers, audio streaming has continued to grow overall. Finally, there's this:
All this does is make his numbers even more impressive. He's maintained a steady release of music through standalone singles, features and a mixtape since 2018 when he released his album and is still getting this kind of engagement for his album in the first day. As for the Spotify thing, literally all that does is give you access to Drake's album as if you had a premium account, meaning there are no ads, no limits on how many tracks you can skip and you can go back and forth between songs. You can do most of that with a free account. This benefits Spotify a lot more than it does Drake because they're using his album to try to gain more subscribers. They do this with every Drake major release because he's the biggest streaming act. Whatever context you choose to view these numbers under, they're very impressive because the same person has been setting and breaking these streaming records since we got into the streaming era and nobody is coming close to breaking them. Can we all just appreciate the significance of the numbers he put up and move on? I don't know why anyone is trying to explain this away.
