    Honestly though, Shoutout to Cole for not falling for the streaming trap and making 20+ song albums with a bunch of filler for sales. Offseason was a great listen with the length.

    Donda and CLB not so much. Streaming ruining the album listening experience. Nobody really trying to make an "album" anymore it seems like playlists/mixtapes.

    Album underwhelming. Too many filters. The simp songs are awful. Track 2 the only record that resonates with me and elicits any emotional response from me.

    I think The Jackie would’ve worked better as an unheard, sleeper album track. It was hyped up too much tbh. It’s solid, but it’s not a grand slam like it was hyped up to be. If no one spoke of it and it was heard for the first time Bas album dropped it would’ve built up to being more of a hit.

    It was a lazy attempt at making a hit record. The chorus is too repetitive, it makes up most of the song

    Cole and bas finally missed with a collab? d---, they had a good run lol.

    the Jackie is cool, not nothing I go back to , if it plays while my playlist on shuffle. I’m not skipping it, so it’s cool.

    This actually puts the streaming numbers into context for me. It’s about half. Cole doing 280 would be like 560 in 2014-2016 range. That’s fire.

    The Off-Season is so much better than CLB and DONDA. I see there was a 76% increase in The Off-Season. It’s at #12 with 25K. Moneybagg was outselling him, but now he’s at #20.

    Yea, scorpion did 720k sps… over 100k pure sales… doubt this album does over 100k pure, cause physicals ain’t out, so the drop in equivalent units make sense.. same with the off season drop from KOD numbers, cause KOD did over 100k pure too.

    If Cole would have put out a 20 track album with hits on them would his numbers look close to Drake's.

    Do y'all think 100 Mil has a chance as a single? Cole should drop a 3 track deluxed with nothing but hits

    No, Cole is good man lol.. I see you a numbers person. At this point in coles career, he shouldn’t be chasing no hit or numbers, just let it do what it do lol. Drake always been a step ahead of Cole and everybody in the game numbers wise, no amount of 100 mills will change that

    No, it's not about numbers for me, it's because I constantly see things like this on social media. I'm trying to understand what it means.


    It's not about Cole chasing hits, it's about what I personally miss hearing from him. That Bas song was them chasing a hit
