no he didn?t

He?s at like 1.2 million on pure sales aka: more than Ed & Kendrick 

His mess was split up in between 2 years

fresh make sure you double check this

Kaeli didn't even know that Bruno released two flop songs after TWIL 

[Kaeli.]

s

Bruno?s last full single release before Finesse was That?s What I Like

Stick to that boycoochie thread

[Lazarus]

Streaming has become an artist saving grace.

[Hatsumomo]

I?m
So behind with exploring new artists I try to keep up but I be getting in this Brandy mode not wanting to listen to anything but her .. Kendrick is next on my list

[Nine]

It still surprises me how hard More Life flopped for Drake standards

[Sinpool]

d

Damn even digital sales are shit

Streaming is really the new wave.

He didn't. Bruno actually has sold the most albums out of all the men there. His album came out in Nov of 2016 so all of those sales are missing

[Vonc2002]

Stick to that boycoochie thread

Yea. And yes, Bruno has sold the most
