    half of the album had R&B tracks that appeal to teenage girls, not a true rap album.

    how are you not getting this lol? drake gets more sales per streams per track on the album (unless i completely misread how these streams work)

    album wouldve sold less if it was 13 tracks vs 20

    What makes up 1 stream sale? Playing the album through? Playing 15 tracks? Playing a track 20 times? This s--- is confusing as f---.

    @Narsh alright this is what I found.

    In the organization's new formula, 1,500 streams will be the equivalent of 10 single-song sales or one album sale.

    That's almost more impressive tbh. 1,500 streams is a lot.

    yeah exactly. which, to me, perfectly explains why views is a 20 track mess instead of something more focused and restrained. drakes cashing out on his stardom

    I think even if it was 15 tracks including HLB it'd still do similar numbers. Ppl would just be playing the tracks more & more you know? I get what you're saying though.

    All because of the internet you guys are just calculating how much money the label made

    yeah f--- now that im thinking about it if it was shorter people could replay it more? idk lmao

    but with 20 tracks theres more room for more hits w some as big as drake?

    so like a single song has to get 1,500 streams for it to be a sale?

    I think it's any combination of 1,500 plays, doesn't have to just be one song unless I'm not understanding it correctly.
