    Under 500k fw after 5 years? Yikes

    The biggest rap album outside of Drake since 2020 ?

    And that sold 497k (Juice Wrld)

    Only Wayne and Post Malone outsold him since Astroworld (if you even count Hollywood’s Bleeding as rap)

    Trav had stans the same way Young Thug had stans, y'all weakening the definition to fit your narrative again, interesting

    Travis had a lot more motion. Thug was still the subject of those 14k fw sales memes

    yea that's cause Travis managed to get the casuals onboard, something thugger has never done, gunna basically took his blueprint + managed to get the beckys onboard

    You need to learn how to read bro

    I said overall, Carti has a more rabid/cult-like fanbase than Drake, which is true

    Percentage wise yeah for sure, but I even asked you if you meant raw numbers or percentage wise and your response was "Drake doesn't have a cult like fanbase" lol, which made me think you were talking about raw numbers

    s***s stupid anyway becaues stans aren't the ones even buying cds/merch, it's fans, i proved this yesterday with The Weeknd stuff

    You keep failing to realize we’re talking about en masse.

    Sure there are fans who are spending extra money on merch and random products that the artist is selling, but majority of people who are spending real dollars on those are stans.

    Then what happened with The Weeknd? He sold 275k pure with After Hours with digital albums + physical cds + bundles.

    2 years later he only sold 14k with Dawn FM which was all digital albums. You said before that stans do it to support the artist, so where were they for him for Dawn FM? why didn't they buy the digital albums en masse to support him and make him do well?

    3 weeks after Dawn FM he released the CDs and he only sold 33k of them in the first week they were available. Where were those "stans" that apparently buy everything then? they were apparently around buying everything for AH but then 2 years later they've all disappeared? doesn't add up

    whats even more insane is that Dawn FM was in a sales battle with Gunna's album yet his apparent stans still didn't do s*** to help that situaton

    I think especially with the Utopia first edition DIGITAL album who is buying that who not a big fan or stan. Unless I'm wrong about that it seems crazy for casuals to buy that.

    First edition purchases got you early access to the tour to be fair, anyone with $ sense bought that s*** cause his tickets are gonna be fairly difficult to get + resell for crazy

    I think PF2 could have a big first week if this era of Barbz really show up. Only thing that could be an issue is if stuff costs too much 🤣

    SFG did 89k sales after being filtered and PDR did like 77k after being filtered

    so times those by 4 could potentially see 300k+ pure

    i’m expecting around travis numbers for her I think her streams might be lower than expected
    it really depends who’s on the album tbh i’m just saying s*** lol

    Idk what to expect either tbh. I think she should do 100k to 200k in streaming units then100k-400k in pure sales. i really don't know what to expect but I definitely expect 200k+ first week.

    SFG and PDR both did over 22k album units first week and BMUS did 80k.
