    Idk why there is so much confusion in this thread. He is selling 245-275k first week from streaming aka the real numbers. Thats how much cultural impact it had/how many people are listening. Now if you care about the gimmicks and bundles, it’ll tackle on enough to put him at 400ish maybe even more. End of story

    People buying physical and digital copies are still "real numbers"

    I’m thinking 535k-550k SPS

  • Jul 30, 2023

    Really solid numbers

    People in this thread really trying to act like there isn’t an effect in bundles that include the music. The people are buying a shirt and getting the cd thrown in. They would not buy the cd if that shirt didn’t exist. You guys have lost it lol trying to debate BUNDLES

    If travis didn’t bundle his pure sales would be 5-10k and thats facts. This man was so desperate the vinyls and cds shipping don’t have meltdown on it. But he needed to have something ready to ship and sell. 5 different covers

    He’s predicted to do around 275K from streams ALONE.

    With pure sales included, it’ll be 400K minimum

    I'll wait for the final numbers

    Hip-hop fans are the only fans who act like a true sale of a physical copy of an album is somehow worth less than a stream

    You can buy the merch without a CD for less than the bundle..

    "industry innuendo" Lol it's weird how they don't actually know yet. I've never seen it rumoured like that for an album

    i'm guessing travis's team is working over time trying to get it all shipped on time and that's why they can't confirm numbers. I still have such crazy doubts about that number tho lol, 200k fanpacks? just insane. Especially considering how ugly the merch was

    I'm guessing it's around 20k-30k raw CDs/vinyls and then the other 170k~ is tshirts/hoodies alongside a CD/vinyl

    good luck to them trying to ship all of that this week

    Can confirm merch/physicals just started shipping today.

    Once again you’re deflecting the entire concept of a bundle. So answer me and stop dodging lol. Do you think without 10 covers and the clothes and shoes that you can add the vinyl for 5$ would he sell 200k physical? let me know

  • Jul 30, 2023

    OBVIOUSLY a physical sale is great and what you’d want. But its the gimmicks. Cornyyyyyy

    At one point people were saying that port Malone would surpass Drake back when he was droppin nonstop hits like psycho, sunflower, wow, etc. Now this guy can barely sell enough albums to pay his mansions utility bills. Bad bunny is next in the line of artists who were supposed to beat Drake but fell off (lil baby, chance the rapper....)

    "Biggest non-Drake hip-hop streaming day ever"

    https://twitter.com/HipHopAllDayy/status/1685481075462582272

    Hip-Hop is cooked the day Drake hangs it up. No one is coming close to carrying the way that man has carried these last two decades

    Travis didn’t lose his audience with the 5 year wait because he always made himself relevant in music during the wait
