Congrats to @Nas & the team! #LifeisGood is the #1 album in the US and 15 other countries!!!

also #8 in the UK

It’ll be an OG rapper vs. a country-rocker for the top spot on next week’s HITS Album chart.

The last two best-sellers—Nas’ Def Jam/IDJ album, Life is Good, and Zac Brown Band’s Atlanti9c release Uncaged, #1-2 on this week’s chart—should vie for the lead on Tuesday’s tally as well.

Life Is Good.

Lost some Coli Cash on this though.

 

[Dat Migo]

an extra 10k

 

[Chief]

I told nikkas that Nas would not go above 200k

 

[KiD WavE]

to people that understand this stuff think he can get 200,000 by christmas is that likely or very unlikely?

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

for the quality of this album it's not enough
should be at least 350k first week

life ain't that good because the audience sucks

he will probably push 40-60K next week. So he should pass 200K next week or the one after

149K in this climate on your 10th album

 

[ROFL_GUY]

he @ 150k 1st week

atleast a 60% drop off.. thats (normal)

so lets say 65k 2nd week... he will be @ around 210K-220k... album will top around the 400k mark if he lucky....

his team need to make "REACH OUT" the next single....

imo that song... projects "the life is good" vibe.



he deserves to be 3x plat tho... lovin this mature hip-hop


****** album will have legs in the UK....... *********

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

album will be certified Gold by the end of the year cuz of shipping

A better question is if he can reach gold. I doubt it because Nas is a proven artist so most that were going to cop, copped the first week. It might go over the years though, if it stands up as a classic. Kids will be copping years down the line, wanting to see what this old school album Life Is Good is all about. Sort of like Illmatic going gold (and plat????) years after the release

it will definitely be certified Gold by the end of the year due to shipping
