Hate to be this guy, but the album is great who cares about numbers

never understood caring much about sales numbers. like its cool if it sells a lot but they dont add or take away anything from the album.

Shut the f*** up

paul george avi your life must suck

popstars are artists btw.

it not breaking no records lmao.

You right . Bundling was exposed for artists to get more sales, it’s been heavily reduced.

You were born

bundles do not count no matter what.

You can thank travis, weekday, and taylor for that.

I'm going to say 300K just cause it's Kanye. Even if it's bad, it will sell and get good reviews

Imagine how his parents feels

I wanna say 200

Only rap does this matter lmao, it’s weird

Bro you clearly haven't been on Twitter. Stans of pop artists launch crowdfunds so they can buy songs and albums en masse to inflate numbers/chart position and obsess over them even worse. Justin Bieber was telling his fans how to use vpns and s*** to increase his streams etc

Nah they do. They just have to ship the same day or week of release.

And you have to ship music with the Merch (cd/vinyls/usb)

No more lollipops or candy counting with a download code for music nobody downloads anyway.

You’re righ, i haven’t been on Twitter lol.

150k

no they dont...

physicals arnt bundles. but physicals have to ship that week to count now.

"Albums slated for release on or after Oct. 9 2020 cannot report any sales generated from a merchandise bundle -- merchandise being defined as anything that is not the album itself, including (but not limited to) clothing, paper goods, accessories, virtual items, concert presale codes, contest entries with No Purchase Necessary entrance options and fan club access."

There’s a away around it like artists have been doing… they just sell you a shirt but include a cd or vinyls

It’s still bundles but hidden as cds and vinyls now.

yall posting JIK numbers rn

I’m gunna go with a little under 300k
