Lupe Fiasco - "Food & Liquor 2" First Week Sales Thread

[2CT]

 

[Artfull Dodger]

400 on 90-130
He's sitting 8th on itunes today and Kanye + crew ahead of him

Lupe has a big and very loyal fan base. He will be able to push 130k if he releases 10 albums in a year.

I'm seeing Lupe at #2, #3, and #9 for regular, deluxe, and edited version.

This one's unpredictable for one reason

No major hit single to back it like Superstar & Show Goes On. Battle Scars is only an overseas hit (so far), and Food & Liquor (Lupe album w/ no hit) only sold 81k first week. Granted, it was his debut and he has established a loyal fanbase since then.

Lasers (Garbage album, bigger fanbase) + Hit single (More casual buys) = 204k
The Cool (Great album, smaller fanbase) + Hit single (More casual buys) = 180k
FNL2 (Great album, big fanbase) + No major hits (Less casual buys) = ?

I would say over 130k is a safe bet

Yeah but major hit singles still obviously translate to more albums sold
If that makes sense

Lasers sold less than the cool , album turned a lot of fans away
