    The most streamed Spotify albums + HUT, Scorpion. Two biggest songs compared to the album total.

    I didn't check for errors :kevinwd2:

    There are two explanations for this though:

    1. After Hours has the highest-streamed song on the platform, and has the second-lowest number of tracks amongst the albums listed here (Future Nostalgia and SOUR are both first-lowest with 11 tracks each). With that in mind, that explains why Blinding Lights's 5.4B streams make up 40% of the album's streams. Furthermore, comparing it to the other non-Weeknd albums with a near 50% mark for the top-two songs listed here, After Hours actually has a more even distribution:

    • After Hours has 14 songs and 16.4B streams. Removing its two highest-streamed songs, the remaining 12 songs have 8.3B streams. Overall, 4/14 songs on the album have 1B+ streams
    • ÷ (Deluxe) has 16 songs and 18.3B streams. Removing its two highest-streamed songs, the remaining 14 songs have 9.4B streams. Overall, 4/16 songs on the album have 1B+ streams
    • Hollywood's Bleeding has 17 songs and 15.6B streams. Removing its two highest-streamed songs, the remaining 15 songs have 8.2B streams. Overall, 4/17 songs on the album have 1B+ streams

    2. For Hurry Up Tomorrow, the explanation is simple: the album is not that popular overall. You could find the same split with almost any artist's least-popular albums:

    • Drake - Honestly, Nevermind (Jimmy Cooks + Massive = 55%)
    • Post Malone - AUSTIN (Chemical + Mourning = 78%)
    • Dua Lipa - Radical Optimism (Houdini + Training Season = 67%)

    Of course, there are exceptions, but in general albums that aren't that popular find the bulk of their streams being taken up by their 2-3 most popular songs

    Yes, removing songs from the albums will skew the results lol.

    You listed three flops. Is HUT a flop?

    Yes, it is. Thought we all agreed on that by now.

    And it's not skewing anything, it's just showing how After Hours is in a unique position compared to those other albums since it has the highest-streamed song ever

    Of course it was a flop lol. Outside of the carti stimmies and kpop stimmy no one is listening to his new music anymore. He may need to run back to Atlanta for that carti stimmy although Carti hype may be dead now

    Interesting to see an alt of a guy with hundreds of gimmick accounts call out others for being in threads too much

    Hurry Up Tomorrow is currently getting more daily streams than every Drake project besides Views and ICEMAN, including the other 2 brand new albums he released less than two months ago

    Why is HUT currently outstreaming 2 of the 3 new albums Drake just dropped in May then?

    I already called him one of the biggest singles artist of our era. You skipped over Starboy (18 tracks) with 44.4% coming from two songs btw.

    It’s not, both Habibti and Maid of Honor are higher on the bb#200. Even if hut was out streaming, that wouldn’t be a flex since Drake literally dropped 3 albums at once lol. Iceman is the main one everyone is listening too right now. So far it’s on track to becoming the biggest hiphop album of the decade
