I was absolutely terrified. Now bare with me cause I don’t usually get preachy about numbers and all that shit but I want some of you guys to know this. In its first week it sold over 115,000 copies, and 97,000 of those were pure sales. Those statistics might not mean a lot to some, but to me it meant my first thing I ever made was special enough for people to want to OWN. In a world where people purchase albums less and less. It went platinum and so did 6 individual singles including 2 deluxe edition B sides. It has streamed over 1 billion times (!!!!!!!!!!) Because you guys took this and made it yours. You decided what parts of the story mattered to you. You weren’t fed some formula. None of these songs were radio hits or carefully positioned tricks. They were yours to discover how you wanted to. Its yours. It’s always been yours. And you taught me how to be an artist who tells a complete story, and spares no details. I love you.
