Kanye Made Sales Drop History (-80%) but it looks like Drake tried to break that record.

I don't even know why this would even be considered a loss. Still sold a shitload.

first he had to push back the start of his tour for low ticket sales and now this ? It's funny how it only happens to Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Drake.......Birdman bought 1st week copies

people would consider it a loss because of how much the album dropped in its 2nd week, i think a good album sells more later on than in its first week (1st week seems more a hype thing to me) Kendrick and Macklemore are good examples.

After selling 700k(a lot) you expect a huge drop. Shouldn't really matter, I understand its a huge drop, Yeezus isn't looked upon as a loss and for good reason.

78% to 85% drop in its second week is really high and the link is pointing it out.

Whats the internet term of a win and a loss, i dont understand that part...what are you wining and or losing. The fact is its one of the largest drops ever and thats not a good sign.

It's a statistic and that's all it is to me and that's all it should be to everybody else. Is Drake losing money? No he's still making money. So no, I don't know how selling a total of 800k+ is considered a loss. Can't think of many rappers doing these kinds of numbers.

I never said poor sales equate to losing, right. Stop making ridiculous assumptions. I simply argued that it shouldn't be viewed as a loss, understand?

Oh didn't realize you constitute opinions as facts. Don't really care how any of you see it, just trying to let people know its not a loss, too bad people are more invested in hating than seeing the bigger picture.

Sorry, I'm not emotionally invested in this like how you are with everything. I suggest you stay quiet before I cross over a line that'll push you over the edge and claim to leave just because you can't handle a simple argument.
