Wayne won. He almost pulled this off in the height of illegal downloads and after C3 got leaked like 5 times.
Here’s a solution
Count either what’s considered the first week, or count the first full week. Whatever is bigger is what you go with.
For TES, counting the first full week benefits it. For Donda, it would not benefit it.
End of the day it’s just a stat for fans, and people interested can understand the details. I think it would be dumb to exclude TES from “most hyped albums” conversations because it released a day early.
or instead of "first week"
most units moved in a week.
or total 7 days for all mid week releases (tes, massacre, donda etc) so they all have same 7 days

The real GOAT

Isn't donda the black cover album at the bottom?

hm not sure - it said lowest was 324K but donda did 309K - maybe they used the HDD estimated numbers of 327K? Which would make sense since its next to Yeezus (also did 327K).
Even still it would be higher with a full 7, as with massacre - ill edit though thank you!
yes, but thats not first week. for 50 cents massacre we use the mid week #s, for donda we use mid week #s. so why dont we take first 7 days for them too? s*** 50s first 7 may be more than em shows first 7...
We don’t have access to that type of daily data tho, just the data for each tracking week. I think it makes sense to just go by the albums’s best tracking week
You did all this so Donda gets credit for 324k instead of 309k?
more about Massacre being above Em show, donda would be higher too though, and i think people understand mid week releases more now with such a big album (donda) having one recently so thought id make a post

idk i think it should be consistent. either the mid week for everybody or full week for everybody.
but i get what you mean, itll be hard,

no one woke up today wondering man did they mess up how 50 cent and Eminem early to mid 2000s sales are remembered
For Donda, again we're talking a 15k difference. Nothing changes

definitley more than 15 wym? it did 309K first 4.66 days (billboard) / 327K (Hdd)
with another 2.33 days itd prob be around 380K, thatd move it up quite a few spots as the last spots are very close in amounts.
and its something that came to mind after seeing the top 100 first week thread to me, and other posts regarding hiphop first weeks.
idk i think its important to be consistent
it didnt sell a million first week but it did in the first full week which is equally impressive tbh. No1 really cares tho since we all know what really happened and the physical purchases is something you dont have to theorize. With Donda, you have to hypothetically speak on what Kanye would have been able to do in those first 2 days.

It would move up a few spots at the end of a top 100 list
Trust me buddy, Kanye isn't gonna let you join Sunday choir
