I will very impressed if he sells 130k or over with this album considering there is zero promo and a lot of people dont even know the album is out.

I'm shocked to go back and read he did 81k with the first F&L album's opening week debut. I mean I know sales were tumbling even then but damn

You gotta remember he suffered one of the WORST Internet leaks in recent Hip Hop memory. The album leaked about 4 months before it was ready...

Meh, I hedged by bets and will end up only losing a stack...but still, damnit Lupe

 

[Brad Piff]

Something told me he wasn't doing over 100k first week this time around.... the public has kinda moved on from Lupe and not even white people were excited for a new Lupe album this time around... dude is done.

lupe dropped like the most not radio friendly singles in his career first then dropped the radio single last and his label didn't push it hard enough lol

85-95k with hardly any promotion and no radio singles is actually very impressive.

Thought it'd do a little more than that though.

Why do y'all always say hardly any promotion as if you need radio ads and TV ads everyday as promotion? Hardcore Lupe fans knew what that album was dropping.

You're telling me an artist who has went gold twice in his career doesn't have a 100k fanbase from the start?

Alright.

200 on 50-90k and 300 on 90-130k.

What'll we do if the numbers are exactly 90k though?
