how dafuq did limp bizkit get so high

and why do most people exclude it from their lists

Where's Lights Out? Lights Out did 205k. @op

rollingstone.com/music/music-news/beatles-move-one-million-1s-in-one-week-243820

I see C2, C3,C4, C5, ianahb2, block is hot

The production was more rock than traditional hiphop, so people forgot Limp Bizkit was rap music a lot of times.

TLOP wouldve did 1 mil first week easy if not for that whole tidal fiasco

Top 5 is 70% white

Ye with more albums in the top 10 than Drake

4. Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water

There are some truly horrific albums on here

Cuz America is 70% white

Duuuuuh

The top 4 is 3 white dudes and one black dude.. Find that interesting

Cause they want to count Limp BizKit and and Eminem's second week

Just added it to the list. Good find.

Be sure to let me know if there are any other hip-hop albums that debuted with at least 200K units that I missed. I'll add them to the list.

Ice Cube - Lethal Injection - 215,000 (1993)

white people

Need a list excluding all white people

These kids don’t realize how big 50 cent was and gangsta rap. Kanye really stepped in and took that s*** down

OP updated.

Great job on this list op but when you google limp bizkit it says rock band and the genre says rock still

Limp bizkit doesnt count as hip hop imho

forgot i did this a few weeks ago

i noticed there were a couple of albums that showed up twice, also i figure it might be easier to read if it showed the year for each album

Might be forgetting some

i wouldnt count them either, but they are a nu metal band that incorporates hip hop and some other genres

if limp bizkit is included, you can argue other music like korn and kid rock also.

kid rock's devil without a cause didn't have massive first week sales, but it ended up going diamond
