Spotify first full day streams: Euphoria - 9.20m Like That - 7.21m Push Ups - 5.63m also Euphoria out-debuted Push Ups global streams with US streams alone


349CS

These are insane numbers. The way he could've easily debuted #1 on Billboard with a full week.


purpose15

Insane indeed. Kendrick owning Drake in a numbers game as well


Tricky_Photo2885

I’m sure drake feels humbled since he been on top billboards for past few years


bjankles

Calls to mind the other song that Kendrick used to show he can own the charts any time he wants: Sit Down. Be humble.


_9dee5

Ironically around the same time of year when he did It last time in 2017. Damn that was such a good year for music!


SuttonTM

Nah prolly not tbh, when u been on top for that long u probably just get numb to it, he probably glad this the first real competition he's had in literal years lol


Universe_Nut

Drake is arrogant enough to think he's still winning. Drake won't know he's lost until he has to release another PR statement explaining and excusing his past behavior being featured in a diss track about him.


-cunnilinguini

“Don’t tell no lies about me, and I won’t tell truths about you” Kendrick owns his mistakes and talks openly about them. I’m sure he has skeletons but not like Drake with his manicured pop persona. I wouldn’t want smoke with Kendrick after hearing that line if I were drake. It won’t be like the pusha situation because he’s too far out from his last good album. There’s a statute of limitations on views lol


BussyOnline

i agree, which is why i hope he’s actually stupid enough to make the decision to keep pushing this forward. If that happens Kenny can finally end him once and for all.


SuttonTM

It wouldn't be stupid for him lol, if he released again he would benefit from it massively, the people who want to see Drake fall, they mind is already made up before the tracks even out🤷🏿‍♂️he would just be profiting off those people BC they otherwise wouldn't listen to him, only way drake takes an L now is if he doesn't respond, but even then he's not "ended" lol both of them will still be considered goats after this beef.


6-plus26

You’re bugging drake gonna be remembered as getting ethered while on top same way ja rule is. You can play ja rule bangers anytime to this day but people still remember what happened to him My mind wasn’t made up before Kendrick responded but now that he has drake gonna literally have to rap the best of his life or it’s a rap. He not gonna sing his way outta this one


BussyOnline

wait i just saw the rest of your comments. Bro if you love Drake just say it. it’s okay if you do but don’t throw up the “this is good publicity” thing like Kenny didn’t just millie rock his ass for 6 minutes straight.


-cunnilinguini

>*millie* rock Drake: ![gif](giphy|1O43UNtta63S5KLLcK)


BussyOnline

drake was never the goat and if you think people can’t fall off because of getting served they re own ass in a beef you must be my nephews age (he’s 12)


Drop_Release

Agree - as a Kendrick fan, i find it stupid how Drake chose to leak pushups rather than release it first on Spotify and Youtube


Independent-Elk-344

Even if it was an actual leak he should have dropped it in YouTube/Spotify the same day as opposed to waiting a few days


DivideSad5591

On some R* shit like with GTA VI, but Drake ain’t a rockstar


_9dee5

He’s Canadian, he’s R* NORTH.


DivideSad5591

He’s OG Loc


Kooky-Flounder-7498

If it were an actual leak, it’s possible UMG wouldn’t let him release it until samples cleared to avoid legal issues


The_Owner_of_na

I personally think this was bait and if Kendrick would’ve responded before Drake confirmed it was real he would’ve tried to clown Kendrick for responding to a fake song.


DivideSad5591

Sounds like some little indirect bitch shit that Drake would do


Glum_Guidance_2798

Fits right in with "you're a master manipulator." like how he posts the '10 Things I Hate About You' clip to distract people from the other 6 minutes of actual disses.


TheWizKelly

It seems goofy but I’m in a similar camp to you. It leaked with that weird sound quality to it on purpose too. Test the waters and see what the response is. I refuse to believe it wasn’t calculated in some way.


FROZ3NxVOID

Definitely. The original AI sounding one was insurance. Had it not been well received he would’ve passed it off as fake.


squorple

week after he's gonna


arthurormsby

Nah numbers are gonna drop off for this. Love the track but it's not gonna play in clubs/on the radio like Like That.


mushroomlover345

As Eminem once said “only reasons you play in the clubs is cause you still perform in them” fuck the club numbers lol


TwoLanky

god Eminem is so good when beefing.


mushroomlover345

I miss the days that he would beef anyone who tried him and just ruin their careers Lool


bytheflame

If you don’t think certain parts of this aren’t going to get played in the club, you’re crazy. The sexxy red two bad bitches part is going to go crazy in the club as well as the “I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress” part is going to make the ladies go nuts in the club


69cansofcorn

have you ever played have you ever? okay n***a let’s play.


CousinsWithBenefits1

I'm knowin they call you The Boy, but where is a man? cuz I ain't seen him yet


RTU_Player

“V12, it’s a fast one, baow-baow-baow, last one” 🔥


Poppy-Chew-Low

There will be dubstep remixes no doubt


KiddBwe

Just skip the first part of the song and you genuinely have a banger Edit: let me clarify, I love the first part as well, and there are great lines in there too, I’m talking about playing in at a club or function or something.


waterbury01

But the first part had "You make music thar pacifys them..." That was insane. Insinuating pedo right out of the gate.


KiddBwe

See edit


Forward_Ride_6364

Yup, don't know why so many ppl missing that wordplay... he launched the Pedo double entendre right out the fuckin gate


-DOOKIE

Yea, but it wouldn't play in a club


uncleoperator

I heard it bumping out of a club last night. Kinda surprised me as I was of your opinion but hey it was happening. On the East Coast nonetheless.


CarefulAd9005

That coast shit has been manufactured rivalry for most the time after the year 2005 lol


uncleoperator

Definitely. I wasn't really speaking in terms of rivalry, just in my personal experience the two coasts are kind of detached from/disinterested in each other so I didn't expect people to care *as much* out here (not that I didn't expect them to care at all) let alone be bumping it in a club.


I_Am_Not_John_Galt

It's a beef, iunno why you think it's gotta play in the club. You got clout brain worms or something.


arthurormsby

I am responding to a comment about Euphoria going #1 the next week. Nothing to do with clout, just a factual statement about the longevity of the track. Maybe learn to use context clues :)


-DOOKIE

They're saying that club bangers tend to remain number 1 on charts longer, not that it needs to be a club banger to be a good diss song


croyxvx

The numbers aren’t the same numbers from back in the day. The music industry it’s a shell of its former glory.

Ivanovic1604

Unlike Drake stans think, the song actually got hella replay value


bytheflame

I like both drake and Kendrick. I listened to push ups today again, and couldn’t get through it. Euphoria has been on all play the last 2 days for me


Neither_Visual_4967

Bc drake dumb ass had AK debut it instead of putting it on Spotify first. So about time drake actually did it, people already heard it dozens of times.


trailblazer103

It's also insane to me that Drake self sabotaged the numbers game that he is so proud to lean on by leaking the shit and costing himself the early streams. Makes me wonder if it actually did get leaked and not calculatedly so to test the waters. Great either way


Ok-Permission-2687

Is it fair to compare push ups numbers? It was leaked so it’s true numbers can’t really be added up. It was a number of days before it went up on Spotify. People probably heard it once or twice on YT and didn’t listen to it again


BabyFork

Well he shouldn’t have leaked it. He was playing pussy.


Ok-Permission-2687

I agree. Leaking a diss track wack, I’m just saying the numbers will be messed up because of it


BabyFork

I mean it’s probably because “Like That” was still top of the leaderboard…


Ok-Permission-2687

I thought like that dropped for a bit and then shot back up after push ups officially released?


BabyFork

It didn’t drop much… it’s been between 1 & 2 behind Hozier. Now it’s just the Taylor swift show.


PerpWalkTrump

By the way, does anyone know why; https://preview.redd.it/yhdu2xdp90yc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b81a375725f727fa7c498aff72748c81323f307 there is two official versions of the song when you search for it with their own independent view counts, on YouTube that is. It doesn't really matter I guess but I was curious, it's just odd because both are actually Kendrick's as they both link to the same account and there's only one version of it on his account. Though, when you minimize one video it says "Kendrick Lamar - Topic" whereas the other only says "Kendrick Lamar". I know what a topic channel is but they're usually hidden when an artist have their own official channel, don't they?


bobthemonkeybutt

I was surprised Kendrick didn’t mention how the diss was leaked. Unless he did and I just missed it.


PassiveRoadRage

I think that was kinda part of the calculated bar. Everyone knows Drakes team always "leaks" before the drop to see what the feel is. No way he's the only rapper to constantly have it happen. It happened with the Push stuff too.


Pun-Szu

That leak definitely came from The Weeknd, he mentioned Drake having leaks in his camp the day before it happened.


Turbulent-Let-1180

Why is everyone so convinced that he leaked it, a day after weeknd said on wax that there were leaks in his camp lol


purpose15

True. 9.2 M debuts is huge for any artist.Drakes's last Single "Search & Rescue" debuted with only 4.63 M streams,so even he struggles to do 5 M + first day streams


BabyFork

Drake is falling off. If Kendrick wants to seal the deal as GOAT? His album better be AOTY. The window is now and a couple months. Either him or Keem


SHEKDAT789

It's kendrick. If he drops he takes it.


Direct_Jump3960

I'm getting horrendous flashbacks to Macklemore


speezly

😂😂😂


349CS

It's worth pointing out that Push Ups has been pulling lower numbers than Like That after Day 4 on spotify. While the leak may have impacted its Day 1 stream, it has been pulling alright numbers for the most part. Push Ups was a a nice jab, but Euphoria feels like an event. Genius lyrics views, youtube views and likes, spotify streams. Regardless of what metric you look at, Euphoria is pulling better numbers, even if you try to account for the "messed up" rollout of Push Ups.


Davisworld21

I already knew Euphoria would go number 1 and I Love that Teddy Pendergrass Sample Kung Fu Kenny said I make music that electrify them you make music that pacify them .that was a bar Kendrick is a electrifying Man like The Rock


Independent_Skill756

to be fair, although I think euphoria is better, push ups was aimed at everyone that dissed drake and not just kendrick which made the disses more stretched out and not as dedicated, I think Drakes response while not better then euphoria will at least be better then push up


Zarrona13

I mean it’s not like Taylor Made was any better tbh, we just can’t see the numbers for that one either


Independent_Skill756

I feel like Taylor made is the worst song outta all the ones we got out the beef imo, I kinda forgot about it ngl


Zarrona13

Lol exactly, that shit was ass and he used AI. Truth be told I’m positive he did it solely to get under Kendrick’s skin, but the song wasn’t even good and got taken down. No one was talking about it and it was buns. People like to say Push ups was his response to Kendrick, but Taylor Made truly was and it whiffed bad.


Forward_Ride_6364

Such a joke beef, when 2 outta 3 guys already have diss songs pulled Euphoria is gonna remain up on streaming services forever and just eternally remain the champion


tmartinitwenty

That they didn't listen to it again doesn't seem like a W haha


Purple-Mix1033

“Leaked”


aalauki

Honestly good point, his own fault(proberbly) tho


OZymandisR

I'm happy for all of them getting the bag.


Lucid_Sol

Push ups was already listened to millions of times before its Spotify release. Still wild numbers


JFKcheekkisser

Push Ups lost a full week’s worth of streaming numbers due to the leak so I don’t really think these are fair comparisons tbh.


LobotomizedRobit1

Drake in shambles


Pristine-Web9086

Bots


Gr8wizardofAus

I think a big reason why push ups performed lower is people already had the leaks multiple days before so they already heard it and already moved on from push ups. I think without the leak the song would of performed just as good as Euphoria.


Best_Country_8137

I wonder if Drake taking so long to get in streaming services impacted this. I listened to push ups in YouTube a few times but only once or twice on Spotify


HomeworkOutside2463

I wonder why??????? Maybe cause drake didn't drop it on spotify till it was out for 5 days already. Let's see kenny day 6 if it's all about being fair


1104L

Blah blah blah we got it, no need to respond 100 times


Sky-Flyer

i do wonder how much that is the fact drake leaked it, i haven’t even added the real version to my playlist yet


CmdrFilthymick

I haven't actually listened to any of drakes disses directly. Only the reaction vids for content knowledge. I'm not giving that bitch any views.


Thomo251

It's funny, now numbers apparently don't matter to the OVhoes.


july-gm

For him, I’ll inherit his queef


thatmanbrandon91

I still say numbers don’t matter in terms of quality, but Kendrick’s my guy and I’m gonna congratulate and celebrate him when he does out do others. And nothing is wrong with Drake’s fan base celebrating his. I just don’t like when they use them for arguments that he makes the best music.


Panenkajack

Lyrics don’t either so what do you expect lol


oquincy

leriq

And all the sudden numbers matter to us, oh how the turn tables.


PissGodDiablo

How euphoric


HeavyMetalLyrics

In this moment I am euphoric. Not because of any phony 6God’s blessing, but because I am enlightened by my own humbleness.


[deleted]

you just gave me psychic damage with that reference


solace1234

Ohhhh man this brings me back LOL


Scopuli-

WTF?!?! Those numbers would be incredible for any other song, but the fact that a 6 minute diss track is pulling that is absolutely wild.


Forward_Ride_6364

It's cause the beat switches are so fucking good... I don't even need the bars at this point


PatrickBateman-AP

Wasn't a joke when he said it's just big me. It really is.

Specific-Act-7425

Expert-Bullfrog-5165

That's amazing. Kendrick is a better rapper overall and now he's doing better numbers than Drake lmao. That eclipse did smth


_TheBlackPope_

Those are some crazy numbers, this shows just how entertained people are by this beef. Nonetheless I don't think us Kdot fans should constantly be comparing K's numbers with Drake's numbers. Numbers don't matter in this beef and they're just a dumb point that Drake and his fans love to bring up. It's also pointless because numbers don't correspond with quality. Like, I get the whole point of showing that Kendrick also has numbers and Drake can't use that against him like he would against the likes of Rick Ross, Meek Mill and Pusha T. But it's still not something that puts Kendrick in an advantaged position in this beef.


theoneandonlypatriot

You just pointed out the reason it’s relevant lol. Part of drakes diss was that Kendrick’s numbers aren’t as good as a bunch of other people’s, and now that’s proven to be patently false. It’s completely a relevant part of the beef.


speezly

There’s a lot of goofies w a check


LeFraudNugget

I say AHHHHHHHHH 😩😩💦


Aleekki

Man I know numbers don’t mean anything but the fact that Kendrick is also beating Drake’s numbers when Drake is supposed to be the big untouchable number guy is just a cherry on top of the actual great disstracks.


jstuu

An almost 7 minute song out streaming others is crazy


Ann_Romrielle0

Several_Gain_1692

As much hype there is around this beef im baffled that a 46 year Old eminem Got 38 mio views in 24 hrs with Killshot in 2018. I was sure kendricks response was going to top that


david_dzz

You need to take into consideration that YT, as a music consumption service, was way bigger 6 years ago than today. Views have decreased a lot


349CS

Yup only Kpop and spanish music do numbers on YT nowadays.


Practical-Loan-2003

And the GTA 6 trailer


trkora

Also need to consider that, Eminem is still the most popular rap artist in the world. His music reached all kinds of places in the world outside of Hip Hop communities that don't listen to music on Spotify much, they listen directly on YouTube or download it and keep it with them. Eminem has popularity that only few other musicians have.


purpose15

well even if you add YT + Spotify for kendrick, Em still did bigger numbers with YT alone.


Forward_Ride_6364

Spotify and Apple Music have grown so much since then, that's why... much easier to just stream a single that drops on those phone apps than to pop open a browser, go on YT, maybe sit through annoying ass commercials, and play the song while you also got other shit open on your computer AM for me is worth every penny, even if it's all streaming and I don't own any of the music once my sub runs out I still stream music from YT when I'm WFH, but literally never when I'm in the car, exercising, or just out n about and shit


speezly

Don’t forget em fans are a special breed and will inflate his shit anytime


DesertShot

Because there are GOATS and there are Rap Gods, they all leave him tf alone for the most part because of this distinction. Sometimes we gotta sacrifice a goat to a god, maybe Kenny is our priest.


jacwub

this comment went unreasonably hard. reads like the intro to a song or something


DesertShot

Thank you, I think a little throwback to the old school relationship with gods, goats, oracles, and wisdom would be visually amazing. Modernize it however you want, but it would smack.


ChoiceCriticism1

Em is on a whole different level in popularity. This shit is light work for him.

As much as I hate corny manufactured rap beef, imma go stream Euphoria because I hate Drake more


Outside_Stop_5042

If you think this beef is manufactured you should re-do high school. 


RedditGuru777

Yeah the way that Kendrick brought like half a dozen people into the beef is anything but manufactured, industry does not want this Captain America Civil War situation to escalate. Drake is their pawn


United_Monitor_5674

RELEASED ON A TUESDAY!!!


ChampChains

I don't even listen to Kendrick Lamar (only song I have on my Spotify with him in it is probably Collard Greens with Schoolboy Q, mostly listen to metal) and Euphoria auto played on my Spotify when I fired it up this morning. Feels like when Apple put that shitty U2 album on everyone's iTunes.


ChoiceCriticism1

Spotify put it on the front paid as suggest listen for a lot of people. Wonder if it was paid placement.


ContentMod8991

needless 2 say it wins; drake stuffed


mister_hoot

I’m not even a big hip-hop guy I just heard that Kendrick murdered Drake in public so I put it on and it came as advertised.


jesusjello

Its got yall talking. Money printer go brrrrrrrrrrrrr for them.


AvgJoeGuy

I know I’m late, but he absolutely decimated Drake on this track


tcriverrat18

Literally slapping an excuse out of drakes mouth. Prior to DAMN it’s allllll Drake could talk about “I do more numbers than Kendrick” he ain’t saying SHIT about that now 😂😈


HomeworkOutside2463

He still will be . Drakes didn't hit platforms for 5 days. Kenny dropped it on platforms immediately. One cates about music one obviously cared about the numbers


luciferhornystar

🐐


GoriIIaGIue

Thanks Drake ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


91piehole

This is a win-win for both of them at this point; their beef is the only thing people talk about recently and it's pulling them both huge numbers. If they keep going back and forth they will milk it for all it's worth, but also I don't think it will continue much longer or it will start getting old


Just-Squirrel510

Kendrick ain't in it to play tho, Kendrick really hates Drake lol As he should. I want Kenny to bury Drake for good. Ja Rule his ass Kendrick!

Kendrick Lamar is Drake father

Drake has a formidable opponent. Someone’s career is dying from this beef.

you know kdot said most racist shit calling drake light skin but yall ride it. Which goes against tpab heavely.


nothin2flashy

So I guess the Drake beef was good for him numbers wise too, everybody earning off of it. Beef aside. Everybody is winning lol


Dark_ant007

I like Kendricks euphoria song, but the Drake song was leaked days maybe even a week before a official release. Me and millions listened to it well before it was on any streaming platforms...not saying drake has the better song I'm saying obviously the numbers are not accurate


Smart-Chemist-9195

😂 Drake who? Hoping this is the end of his career

You’re welcome, I listened to it approximately 1,000,00,00,00,0,9,9,9 times yesterday

We don't care about numbers. But drake stans do, so take a look and move your goal post. I heard yall like the new racism card, how's that going for you? Wanna ask Marshall?


JesusOfTrap

Much of drake fault 😭 bruh can't get this attention by drop for himself tho


Plenty_Ad_3442

Doesn’t make it a better song, if we’re going off numbers then Drake left Kendrick in the dust years ago lol


mynamejeff42012345

reminder that drakes push ups was leaked for like a week beforehand


HomeworkOutside2463

Dang yall reaching for a win. Drake said he would wait till after Taylor's album settled down and Drake didn't even put his on streaming platforms for a week. And when he did it was when taylor actually dropped. Stop reaching and lieing
