Kendrick Lamar to make Billboard history as he's projected to occupy the entire top 5 next week - Squabble Up #1

[Solo_87]

I don't think he does 400k doe... even if he's projected to have the biggest streaming week. 400M US streams, even if thats massive, that's just 290k units. I don't know what he's doing in pure sales but seeing as he doesn't have any bundles or fan packs in store, I don't expect him to do more than 20-30k in digital sales. Best case, he ends up doing 350k off the album, from my calculations.

You can't do more without physicals, bundles and co, which is something every artist is doing right now to boost sales.

300k would still be massive in this scenario.

Crazy numbers regardless

I can see it doin another 150k+ next week

@Yecht get in here, gang

Definitely crazy numbers for a surprise release with no physical, no bundle, nothing.

It's unheard of in 2024.
Would have loved to see him do a normal release, only to have big numbers

Showing Drake how to do it without being something you not

Explain

This tweet is excluding pure sales and and has been updated since.
Several credible projections have him at 400k

Pure sales are like 10% of sales bruh. Nobody going to Sam goody anymore. I’ll get back to this by next week.

Mr Morale did 295k with 100 million streams on day 1 and 33k pure sales.

Numbers on this one look a bit lower.

This album has 118 million streams in 31 hours(two days) so far.

Gonna be a lot of meat glazers and bloggers disappointed.

Dude is having one of if not the best year in rap history lol

Imagine if the movie he's working on wins an Oscar

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Never forget that @Squirrel from Meteor Man said Drake would send Kendrick into retirement.

 

[bigde09]

Album projections has him doing 230k units first week.

Furious

 

[tehparadox]

Don't forget what Billboard said, the more tracks you have, the more streams you get. Morale was a 19 track album

600k was clearly doable if more tracks, bundles, and with a physical release.
300k with only 12 tracks is insane, never thought someone could pull that number with that kind of release, except Taylor Swift & Adele.

 

[Blackrogue]

the songs are meh to me and i'm a fan of his

have to give it a good listen. Run through it once yesterday and it was forgettable. Didn't get the same reaction i get to his other songs. Someone point me to the right one

a bout to play it again

Problem is he’s not sniffing 250k. His new fans(people that don’t like drake) after the Drake stimulus package ain’t going back to the album because to THEM it has no replay value and his core audience is not strong enough to push it that far. I’ll come back next week.

This album gonna do “Dark Lane Demo Tapes” (14 songs) numbers. Dark Lane was full of throw aways and old songs

Best album I heard in a long time, congrats to him
