AlexIrvingHe did 300k from physicals in general not just bundles
Yes in a time no one was buying physicals lol. And there was a stat that over 200k came from his merch site. It was 90% bundles for his physicals

FOMOmortisImmediate drop off showed disinterest
Yes disinterest in a therapy album, not in the artist specifically, it also outsold HNVM, the closest album to it, so it’s not like it was an anomaly

Jetfuelthere is no chance in HELL that dude does another mr morale and the big floppers
he wants hits, his fans want hits, they'll never admit it but it is what it is - and NLU is the prototype of what he'll do from here on
the new snippet already sounds like a continuation of that path - it'll be a banger-focused album
Needs a lot of Keem features
Duddas ☢️OPJul 13, 2024Big DogWhat it comes down to, is if he makes an album like damn or mr morale again. If its a woke album it’ll do 250k. If its hype songs 300-350k most.
eminem just released his first album in 4 years and they saying 200-220k... with no big major hits out
kendrick with his hype rn will probably be 400-450k.. maybe even closer to 500k possibly- Jul 13, 2024·1 replymomcalledmeRL
Same article
According to HITS Daily Double, Kung Fu Kenny scored the year’s biggest debut with 610,000 album equivalent units, with about 362,000 of those copies being sold.
362K or less would be apart of the T-Shirt / CD Vinyl Bundle.
362k would INCLUDE the bundles, not 362 is ONLY bundles like what was claimed

Disinterest in a Kendrick album.
And HNVM had mixed reviews on release because of the overall sound he chose to get into which lead to those numbers for it. Same disinterest.

It was all over lol. You can find a bunch on it. I’ll list it all. He was selling shirts and all types of merch that came with the album. He did 300k streaming and 300k through physical bundles.
The exact Sold Number is 362K
How much of that was from merch bundles I can't source but it is sourced that there were CD / Vinyl Bundles included with T-Shirts. - Jul 13, 2024Big Dog

Kendrick has the most sold vinyl in rap history, and had his biggest hit at the time on that album, it wasn’t that out of nowhere for him to sell physicals

I know that I just said that calm down champ
Edit - "362K or less" exact words. I obviously don't believe not a single person just bought a copy of the album

I’m actually up in the air on if that snippet will release or not. He’s done that in videos before. I wouldn’t take that as the direction for his next album

One was just more successful at it

nah man, he should finally prove that he is not just about the optics and go full westcoast and introduce some newcomers or bring the OGs on board

So Taylor swift first week did around 700k from streaming (excluding all sales)
I think Kendrick does 400-500k based off that then

Seeing Eminem’s sales and thinking Kendrick won’t crack 250k just proves where your bias lays
They are two different trajectories right now

Taylor also releases 15 diff versions of her albums, not really fair to compare her to anyone

Yeah I know youre skeptic, my energy was more towards the person who thinks it was 90% bundles
