Streams count for less than physical sales, bro

That was a long time ago lol
The only way you’ll get 1 million first week is if your lead single or singles hit 10,000,000 streams, then you place the song (s) on the album.
It’ll do more than 350K first week. I’d put money on at LEAST 500k and it could go all the way up to 700K if he’s got DAMN like singles to proceed it.
Cole did 300k first week last year with no big single or video. Kendrick is more popular than Cole is.
Kanye did 309K with Donda after all those listening sessions and hype but the album was a disjointed mess. Kendrick is more popular and relevant musically than current day Kanye West.
The key is he needs a BIG single on Humble levels and a great video. Interscope’s marketing will surely take care of everything else as I cannot fathom him not being EVERYWHERE after the 5 year hiatus.
He’ll do more than this.
I expect a single to drop right before the album and the world will go into a frenzy simple because it’s kendrick whether it’s good or bad and it’ll easily hit 450 to 500k

The only thing I want from Kendrick on this album is a song where hes going up against some spitters as guest features.
Like a modern day 1-Train type of song.

I get their argument but disagreement. DAMN did 603k first week, with 353k of that being physical copies, rest streams. It's the last rap album to go platinum off physical copies, and will likely be the last to ever do it. So their forecast basically says there's no way he does much off physicals this time, and when you add in streams it'll be 350k total. Problem with that is that streaming is way bigger now than it was in 2017. DAMN did about 350mil streams in its first week. For comparison, four years later Certified Lover Boy did around 740mil streams first week. CLB ended up at 613k, including 46k physical copies sold. Kendrick isn't Drake but the hype alone is going to get him an insane total of streams and he may even break or come close to the Spotify/Apple records.
My prediction, which may change depending on the single/video/etc...
450-500k total first week
60-80k physicals
So…rumor has it that Megan is gonna be featured on the first single.

Tons of rock bands are named shyt like that too.
I was pointing out that there are groups named like that in genres that aren't reggae like doo wop/r&b but also that there are a bunch of rock bands with names like that as well.
Negged.
