its over

cudi getting outsold by kali is crazy

Solid numbers for 21 Savage

Honestly thought its going to be over 200k

I feel like he woulda if he dropped a little closer to Her Loss and did a couple singles

@Guapo_ my bad i thought scarlet sold 50k first week for some reason

I still think Doja is capable of selling a lot of albums in the first week, I think she got way bigger after Planet Her but kinda butchered the Scarlet rollout

21 album would’ve sold more if it was better

Not calling it bad but it is what it is

Nah it would’ve sold more if it was promoted better, the movie trailer nonsense was a mess and confusing for casuals

Damn I haven't heard that original X song in mad long, he was so good

130-150k, exactly what I was predicting

i f*** with 21 but this IS music consumption now, a rapper selling 200k+ is literally top 5 in terms of popularity/sales now, just ask yourself what rapper can sell 200k+ first week, extremely short list, last artist to do it that wasnt the top name like drake/trav/kenny/cole, was baby and he did that in 2022 and just touched 200k and that was his peak popularity, if he dropped 2024 hes doing 120k first week no cap

its just how it goes, and 150k in this climate for rappers is big solid numbers. Even with better marketing i dont think he would have sold that much more, max 175k, maybe 200k if he had a song absolutely blow up off the album

Yeah this isn't a bad album but it's certainly not getting a word of mouth boost because it's just... good

At least it's not a complete flop but 21 has probably reached the ceiling of his popularity overall

Its still the first day so it could go up or down as we have seen with other popular rappers.

nicki was last to clear 200k lol

Only did 100k streaming, we dont count rabid fan bases mass buying multiple copies and have literaly discords set up to organize buying events smh, s*** sint organic hence why she plummeted the following weeks

Last one to do 200k+ streaming other than the top 5, was baby and his s*** still streaming well in EOY charts a year later cus it was organic

How did she plumment but do more than the people you claimed are on top week to week?

Maybe they shouldve followed the instructions better.

Go buy a 21 CD and a fanpack

Mr morale week 4 = 54k
Mr morale week 5 = 42k

Pink Friday 2 week 4 = 57k
Pink Friday 2 week 5 = 54k (47k streaming)

Off season week 4 = 44k
off sesson week 5 = 34k

No way that trash does 130k

Check off season track number and pink friday track number and get back to me on comparing stream numbers

U think im caping for 21

Nigga i listened to 3 songs off the album and shut it off cus i cant listen to more than 3 21 songs in a row they all sound the same to me

I look at numbers my boy, we in a sales thread not a fanboy your favourite artist thread

I don't understand the last sentence. Pop music is also always about initial hype. Every genre is. First week is always the highest.

your favs are plummeting go stream!!

I didn’t say the first week numbers weren’t always the highest, but pop artists always prioritize how an album / single does over time rather than what it does out the gate.

The same can’t be said about rap

Especially a lot of newer rappers they seem to stop caring about pushing the album after first week.

The final numbers say 228k come on let’s stop being delusional these sound like unnecessary excuses

At least fans are buying the s*** how is that mot organic?

Literally. Drake stans reverting to “only the streaming numbers count” because he isn’t the highest selling artist anymore is the most pathetic s*** I’ve seen in a while.

A sale is a sale is a sale, whether it’s via iTunes, a paid stream, a bundle, a physical, etc. The sales numbers are the sales numbers.
