Wait For U does have a good bit of radio already though, and that may have been enough to put it on top.

TBH I knew that he would have a sizable album bomb, but I seriously underestimated just how much he would smash, and ditto so far for Jack Harlow and Bad Bunny this coming week.

"Couple" of months is a vague timeline.... It can be 2, 3, or 4. And importantly they simply said expected. So how are you using an 'expected' tweet as concrete confirmation that it reached eligiblity?

But none of that even matters. They were wrong. It reached Diamond eligibility in November.


This literally shows every single month the song was eligible for a new certification they immediately applied for it.

You are claiming they specifically did payola to go Diamond... thus wouldn't they immediately apply for Diamond once the song reached it? Like huh???

Especially when they immediately applied for every single other certification prior. Does what you're claiming logically even make basic sense to you?

Couple is not that vague. "a few" would be more vague. Couple usually means two. 

All that picture seems to show is the date of the certifications. I don't see anything about eligibility?

Either way, the Diamond thing is just a grace note. I thought it was funny the Diamond eligibility and views dropping aligned almost perfectly. Even if it actually wasn't Diamond eligible in early May (even though TalkOfTheCharts predicted so), it wouldn't rule out the possibility of payola to get views (maybe not necessarily Diamond), and the fact that no song in history has benefited more from algorithm and playlisting than Life Is Good

Yeah Life Is Good's views tanked right before it was eligible for Diamond (or around when it was exactly at 10M). Either the algorithm got adjusted at random before it managed to hit Diamond, and therefore it had to wait a while to hit Diamond due to low YouTube views from that point, or it DID successfully hit the mark and suspiciously tanked, so they waited a bit to certify it to not look obvious 💀

To be fair this is unprecedented for him. His last album High Off Life had one big hit Life Is Good but beyond that its album bomb was mid and his album before that The Wizrd did pitifully on the hot 100 not even placing a song in the top 40 at any point.

So glad that this album is hitting the way it is though because really the charts needed to be shaken up

I think people shouldn't underestimate him but it also speaks volumes that the thing his biggest hits have in common is none other than Drake, including his 2 number-one hits and his "diamond-certified" No. 2 hit. just saying. 

[singingrulebritannia]

"Mask Off" is a solo single and I'd say it was (Stateside at least) a bigger hit than "Way 2 Sexy" despite the lower peak. More weeks in the top 10 (12 to 9), top 20 (19 to 12) and way more in the top 50 (31 to 17) in a faster era. Plus I have no doubt it'll be remembered more fondly lol

I meant more of his overall star power than hit making ability. Yeah, his biggest hits came with working with Drake but the fact he’s as popular as he is over after a decade of being big should be acknowledged more.

eh. "Mask Off" is 8x Platinum (cert. 2021) and "Jumpman" (Drake & Future) was last certified 5x Platinum in 2018, so they should be pretty even. let's say they cancel each other out.

I think it's pretty clear that Drake contributes a lot to Future's mainstream appeal. which isn't inherently a bad thing, but I think to say that Future has got some "star power" on his own that people underestimate would be a misrepresentation of his career. he's obviously doing great but the two Drake features on his album possibly being the two best-performing songs (or two of the top 3) is indicative of that. 

many ways to look at this: collaboration is part of the game in hiphop. these two even released a collaborative album in 2015, so it's no surprise there would be demand for a song with the two of them together. and we can also argue it's this same magic that carried the Future feature on Certified Lover Boy to #1, although that's hard to argue for when that album occupied 9 ranks in the Top 10.

I know I'm the friendly neighborhood Drake stan here but some facts to support your argument on how much Drake has contributed to Future's career:
Future's first top 10 hit, first #1 hit, first Diamond-certified single, biggest album debut, best-selling album & biggest tour all have one thing in common — Drake.
3 of his 5 career top 10 hits involve Drake.
7 of his 15 career top 20 hits involve Drake.

They do have an incredible working relationship and Future has an impressive career outside of his work with Drake but Drake has done a lot to make Future more successful than he would have been otherwise.

[atg]

At least he still has Puffin On Zootiez as a solo song that could be a sleeper hit given how well it’s holding up on streaming even with with the Jack and Bad Bunny album bombs. I’ve heard people say that its one of the better songs if not the best song on his album so hopefully the said quality is enough alone to make a successful run out of it.

I didn't say they had similar decreases. Instead, I pointed out that other songs also have had clear instances of being spammed on autoplay via algorithms then having drastic drops once removed. Bon Appetit is still experiencing that til this day -- it's also a special case to still be having huge rises in views and huge crashes over 5 years after release.

TalkOfTheCharts did NOT say it would be Diamond eligible in two months. 💀 They said 'in coming months'.

And again, what is your logic even. They spammed the song specifically to make it reach Diamond, but waited 6 months to even certify it Diamond? Even though they have rushed to update all his other certifications literally within the same month they reach eligibility every single time?

No way you can't read but trying to lecture me about reading comprehension 💀 TalkOfTheCharts said "next COUPLE of months". It is widely known that couple = 2.

No it's not. I have never heard someone use "couple" for 2 when it comes to days, months, years. Even people. "How many people came to the party, just a couple?". Couple means two when it comes to like a romantic couple, or like a pair. But if someone said "I'll call you in a couple of days", or "this thing will happen in a couple of months", I would be expecting 4 or 5, not 2

I'm surprised that isn't the song debuting at #1 tbh. It's so catchy and it's so well-produced. I hope it becomes a hit for him as well. If I'm him, I'm pushing it as a single in the next 3 weeks.

[ontopofthis]

Future's biggest song thus far is Mask Off, and he has multiple songs from his new album that are just him that are going to chart higher than just the song with the guy and Drake. He also has the better verse on Wait for You, and the Tems chorus is what really makes that song resonate. You do not open a solo album with 230,000 units because of Drake. Furthermore, if Drake really is carrying people, the new Jack Harlow song featuring him would debut top ten, but it is not

I actually googled to get confirmation to what I believed the word meant. The most common number people associate with the word couple is two. It can be slightly more but two is easily the most common. Your example of a romantic couple is a big reason for that. Imo, even four is too much for couple. That's where you start to use "a few" imo.

Anyway, couple is more exact than "coming months" which iHype claimed the TalkOfTheCharts tweet said.

1. Future's biggest hit is Life Is Good featuring Drake, not Mask Off.
2. You can't talk down on Drake's role in the success of Wait for U (that's just silly). He's the biggest streaming artist in the US. Any song he hops on will automatically perform better off that alone.
3. Nobody said Future's album is opening with 200k+ units entirely because of Drake but if 2/3 most streamed songs on the album feature Drake, it shows that his presence definitely helped to reach those numbers.
4. How you expect a 5 minute straight rap song with no hook/catchy production to debut in the top 10 in the same week Bad Bunny drops an album of 23 tracks of which any could function as a single, is really ridiculous. I'd understand having those expectations if it was a 3 minute radio-friendly single but it's not that at all. It's the longest song off Jack's album and probably the only one not favorable to being a chart hit.
5. Do I really need to spell out how many people Drake has given hits by simply hopping on their songs? No one in the last 15 years has done that as much as he has. He's the only artist to have 2 songs debut in the top 10 simultaneously as a featured artist and he might do it again this week with his features on Future's album but according to you, Drake's features do absolutely nothing for people. The fact is that it does. Nothing you say can dispute that.
6. No one ever tried to insinuate that Future is some sort of nobody without Drake. Take away every Drake collab he has and he still has top 10 hits, #1 albums and several other achievements to his name but there are simply certain milestones he wouldn't have crossed by now if he hadn't worked with Drake. All anyone did was point that out.

[Groovy]

Let's not forget, Future is the only artist to top the Billboard 200 consecutive weeks with different albums, no artist has done that before.

1. I forgot about that song for some reason. Yeah, you are right. 
2. It will be downplayed when you are trying to credit the song for its success. He is the least prominent artist on the song
3. It is not one of the three most streamed from the project, though. The song has also fallen behind a few other songs from the project on Spotify and Apple since hitsdailydouble.com/streaming_songs 
4. It is behind even Puffing Zooties on streaming right now, so why are you just trying to pin it on Bad Bunny? In addition, that does not stop J. Cole, king of just straight up rapping songs, from occupying half of the top every time he puts out a project. 
5. Yeah, Drake has helped plenty of people have hits, but he is not responsible for that song being a hit or for Future having hits. What about that is difficult to grasp? He has the least amount of time on Wait for You, and the other song of his with Future, where is he has way more prominence, is not even resonating on streaming better than other songs on the project. 
6. People on here have

Historically, Drake's mere appearance on a song greatly increases the probability of that song's success. I don't know why you're so fixated on insisting that isn't the case here as well. Go to most albums with a Drake feature and that song is either the highest-charting song or the most streamed song — in most cases, both.

It doesn't matter that people are streaming other solo Future songs more than the second Drake collab on his album. It's Future's album. It'd be tragic if all anyone wanted to listen to were the Drake collabs and he does have other songs on the album which are much better listens than the second Drake collab so of course those will get more spins. I also don't get why you're acting like Drake spends so little time on the song compared to Future. The song is 189 seconds long. Future spends about 85 seconds on the song. Drake spends about 70 seconds on the song. The rest of the time is empty space or Tems' background vocals in a loop. Drake being on the song alone means his fans checked out the song and contributed to it's streaming totals. That's the effect Drake brings to the songs he's featured on and that's my entire point.

You agree that he's been beneficial to every other song he's featured on but at the same time, you're stuck on believing he has nothing to do with the success of this particular song with Future/Tems, how does that make any sense? Go online and you'll see that the two people being praised the most for that particular song are Tems & Drake, not even Future. People are even convinced it was originally a Drake/Tems song that Drake gave to Future for his album because of how different it sounds to everything else on his album.

Acknowledging Drake's contributions to Future's success doesn't take away from Future. They work well together and any success they see from that relationship is beneficial to both of them. Drake just happens to be in a rare position where he's able to get his fans to support any song he appears on and that's something Future understands and embraces. Even he himself has spoken about how much his association with Drake has done for his career but you seem convinced me and everyone else pointing that out are pulling all of this out of nowhere and I don't know what to do with that. We can agree to disagree on this topic.
