WTT just outsold VLV on iTunes. Not other online retailers/physical copies. Watch the Throne: 436,000 copies Viva la Vida: 720,000 copies (316,000 on the FIRST DAY!) And that's just the US. People promoting WTT blew the sales out of proportion. It broke Coldplay's Viva la Vida iTunes record, but it still didn't sell as well. Coldplay's going to blow Drake out of the water. Compare Viva (720,000) to other hip-hop acts. Kanye West- My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy: 496,000 (I was one of those!) Jay-Z- The Blueprint 3: 476,000 Drake- Thank me Later: 447,000 Lil Wayne- I am not a Human Being: 110,000 Even X&Y, which has a much weaker single than Viva, sold 737,000. Coldplay's going to sell much more, probably by about 40% or so.

Buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel alright...No trip to Chi-town would be complete without dining at Ed Debevic's.Probably all the awesomeness with awesome sauce poured all over the top. :awesome:I figured it out! "CK": From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crips#Practices Bam.Haha wow I guess that came out wrong. What I'm saying is that many people who listen to Drake only want individual songs that they'll either get a la carte or simply enjoy it on the radio instead. like I said, Drake is a big radio act versus an album mover. Therefore, people will be getting it for free via that medium. Coldplay has a very dedicated fan base. They're venerable, which translates to a ton of sales. And, as evidenced by this site, Coldplay fans want to purchase the music. Remember when we were all bitching about having to buy ETIAW multiple times? Not once did we mention torrents, etc. That's pretty rare these days. Drake is a popular guy, but his music has fallen victim to the iTunes a la carte syndrome, or simply torrents and stuff. Just like many similar pop acts. Plain and simple, Coldplay just sells more albums. That's what we're talking about here, and it's not a racial issue.I think Coldplay will come out on top. Drake's fans usually just steal the music instead of buying it. Plus, Coldplay is much more established, and like the Billboard story said, most people who listen to Coldplay want to hear the whole album, not just individual songs. Drake is a radio act.LiT / Amsterdam. Amsterdam is the best.Miley is a robot, too. Learned it from Family Guy. They'll be happy together.Good luck avoiding it! It's going to be everywhere. :dozey:Awwww :hug:Watch the Throne. Next one: Red Hot Chili Peppers!
