Drake - Views (April 29, 2016) Album • Page 7

presale starts tomorrow

 

Okay. Only through ticketmaster right

 

Probably gonna have to go to that Columbus show. If I do I will be seeing Drake/Future and Paul Mccartney within a week of each other. Blessed.

 

"one dance" jumped from #13 to #3, he might have a future #1 on his hands if he can jump that lukas graham song and "panda" slips

 

ooh man thay tour is coming to Austin..... hmmm

 

If the video's meme-able enough and released at the right time, he's got a chance for "One Dance". However, that might be really difficult once VIEWS drops and people move on to streaming other songs.

 

people will be streaming views enough that theyll basically be extra streams to one dance's current numbers, its only gonna go up

pandas numbers, on the other hand, are insane because like almost half of the points used to get it to #1 are from non-vevo youtube videos. thats ridiculous and unprecedented i think

 

Album cover thoughts:

1) Head in the clouds two albums in a row.
2) I haven't liked his cover art since So Far Gone.
3) This is going to be meme'd to death, which is literally the only thing he cared about.

 

We'll see! I thought about that, but I wasn't sure how often that's actually the case. Would love to see some numbers to back your statement up.

 

i mean just think about how high songs charted from IYRT last year, those numbers are gonna be huge in addition to airplay and stuff

 

Yeah, but that was the R&B/Hip-Hop chart.

 

he was all over the hot 100 in the aftermath of the release whether it was that week or a couple months later. i think most of WATTBA hit hot 100 either first week or within a couple too. digital dash peaked at 62 after two weeks when it entered at 81. he'll be all over the charts after the album drops.

 

Oh, I completely agree! But that's not really interesting to me because his hype/name recognition/whatever ensures that people will check it out.

I'm mainly interested in two things business-wise about this album:
1. How "global" his sound gets and how that affects his chart position in overseas markets. (Feels like we've been predicting grime/dancehall heavy sounds for like 2 years.)

2. Can he get a solo number 1, and what tactic he'll use to get it. (My preferred one would be to write a song so good that it just becomes a #1 hit, but that doesn't really seem like how it works now.)

 

I heard One Dance a LOT at Coachella over the weekend, song took off more than I had realized

 

it hit number one in england

 

How much do you guys think tickets will go for? Don't think I'm willing to spend more than $70.

 

Looks like I'll be at OVO Fest Sunday night

 

My date varies from $50-$150 not including fees.

 

I don't like Future very much but I really want to see Drake so I'll go

I selfishly hope Future doesn't play that long but I know he has a ton of fans

 

Is there any kind of password we need to purchase presale tickets this morning?

 

Considering its billed as Drake x Future and not Drake with support from future I think you're going to deal

 

The fact that it's billed as Drake x Future is what makes me hype af for this.

 

gonna have my phone out in class trying to get some pre-sale tickets.
