    Maximize First Week Formula:

    1. Double album with runtime over 100 mins (2x sales)
    2. Release Gimmick single week before.
    3. 20+ Track length
    4. Bundle, Bundle, Bundle
    5. Release Deluxe with 10 New songs midnight of Day 4. (When sales start slowing down. This will keep the first three day momentum and probably improve numbers)

    Anything artist selling 350 without bundling will be basically guaranteed a milli first week or close to it.

    Kpop is the original and king of the bundle sales approach. Western music just copying.

    Kpop albums come with various merch in the album and it’s all randomized so fans end up buying multiple (sometimes even 10+ copies) of the same album to collect all the goodies.

    BTS is the most popular kpop boy group oat and they’ve been doing those numbers for a couple years now. They sold over 4 million first week in South Korea with their album in February.

    BTS don't sell bundles tho

    Yup literally any artist that streams well and sells at least 350k without bundles can hit a milli with This formula.

    Lol. Hip hop artist release way more music than this. How is doing this every two years gonna burn you out. Young Thug, Future, Drake, Chris Brown etc already releases more than this amount yearly. This just centralized it and adds to sales in a more concise way.

    I think your overestimating the power of bundles. Not every artist can push product like Trab

    Monky business

    Bundling is actually the smallest gainer in this equation but even then Just bundle a physical copy of your album with a ticket for tour and add 7.99 to the tour price. That s*** ain’t hard to do.

    YA ICEMAN ACE

    You know damn well the reason anyone gave a s*** about that, lol. They aren’t happy Kenny Chesney got a #1, they’re happy Drake didn’t. Don’t be dense

    I am happy Kenny Chesney went #1. His album was better than Drake's.

    I have also seen Kenny Chesney 3 times live and was supposed to see him a 4th time live this summer but then corona happened.

    Some people do listen to both Country and Rap.
