Drake - Views (April 29, 2016) Album • Page 12

im currently having a convo on twitter trying to figure this out lol

 

so, apparently, here's how the RIAA works now.

hotline bling's US stream count, from the time it was released until now, will count towards Views' first week sales for the RIAA's certifications - i.e., it will get several thousand (if not hundreds of thousands) of sales towards certification instantly. this also applies to one dance and pop style. however, this doesn't affect billboard standings, similar to how ANTI played out earlier this year or when the riaa certified Jay platinum day one even though billboard was like "nah."

 

Not a fan of any of that, Billboard is doing it better IMO

 

Should there be a cut-off for the RIAA in terms of how long a single can be released before an album is released for it to be included in the counts toward record sales?

 

There are so many potential flaws. Like, let's say I am a high profile artist and I drop a new single every month for a year, then just put them together as an album... I would get a whole year of sales built up.

Furthermore, the more tracks you make your album, the more equivalent sales. If Drake made an album of all short songs, and fit 25, but got the same number of people streaming the album, it counts as more equivalent albums. Or if you take it to the extreme and just put superfluous song cuts in the middle of songs and cut the album into like, 50 songs, it counts as more. Extreme examples, but its something that's possible

 

Probably will listen to OVO sound tonight tbh lol

 

murda beatz did "pipe it up" for migos
maneesh did "charged up"
daxz did "back to back"

 

someone forgot what comes after 18

 

Can't wait to see features

 

who do we think we can expect on this? OVO standard affiliates? some newbies?? curious what people expect from the features.

 

So close.

 

I'm gonna guess that there's gonna be a shitload of features

 

woah... yes?

 

I'm probably wrong but I was going off my sample size of Pop Style, Controlla, and One Dance lol

 

Drake posted the features a little while ago on Instagram

EDIT: Late

 

I feel bad that I don't know who most of those people are.

 

Not enough 40

 

I don't even have any idea about what's going on with this record. Is it out?

 

today I think. Well it'll be tomorrow for America.

 

Listened to the two new singles again and I like "One Dance" a lot more than I remember. Still not really into "Pop Style" though although Kanye's line about Karate made me giggle.

 

Yeah but wasn't All Day supposed to be the first single off TLOP (or So Help Me God at the time).

 

Is this going to be censored?

edit: The Beats 1 stream, I mean. I'm not sure if I want to listen to it if I can't hear it as it was originally intended.

 

Yeah, Beats1 is censored, they only put up uncensored versions of the shows afterwards.

 

omg i'm gonna hear a new Drake album in like 10 min
