thegreatdivineWhat a Time to Be Alive did 375K SPS with 5 out of the 7 days in the tracking week with no prior announcement and only 11 songs.
If these are the guys y'all are pushing as the ones currently running s***, their numbers should reflect that.
you don't think 165-185 is respectable for the climate??

REACTIVEDurk brought his numbers down. And the saturation will prob hurt his next solo numbers also. Baby didnt really need this.
I think so as well but I also imagined that after their run the last few months, they'd put up better numbers.

Album sales are down across the board to be fair

It is but not for a collab tape with 2 of the hottest rappers at the moment. I expected more especially because the album has 18 tracks.

fair enough
like I said, I think the hype was there but these kind of collabs really just need to follow the WATTBA standard of dropping AFTER both artists did something that's deserving of a "victory lap"

All I'm saying is that if y'all are gonna hail people as the hottest rappers at the moment or say it's their era, they better put up the numbers to back that up or else dead all that talk.

This sold more FW than any future project I believe.
Jun 5, 2021·2 repliesthegreatdivineIsn't it safe to assume Lil Baby has gotten bigger since My Turn? I'd say so. Same with Lil Durk. His name has risen in the last 10 months, I'd say.
A collab album from the both of them with 18 tracks should definitely cross 200K SPS. Anything lower is an underperformance imo.
definitely, but collab albums have consistently underperformed when compared to the bigger artist's last solo album. that could be because of poor chemistry, diverging fan bases, etc but there is precedent.
the only time i can think of where that wasn't the case was drip harder, but baby has gained a lot in popularity after yes indeed and gunna didn't even have an album out
Jun 5, 2021This is pretty great fr

I think the album isn't good. The reception for the album has been mixed at best and that will affect its numbers, but regardless, less than 200K from 18 tracks from two of the hottest names in rap in the last 12 months is underwhelming.

My Turn did 197k. Lil Baby might be bigger now but collab albums always tend to do less than solos.

DotenheimerLol first Cole isn't top 3. Now you're saying you can't compare his numbers to Durks and Lil Baby's lol

Is 288k a flop or not?

Noted. We'll see how their next solo projects perform in comparison.

Yall love making random projections to justify your own bias. Being the hottest =/= selling how much YOU think they will sell on some random metric you can't even justify.
165-185k is good for 2 of the hottest rappers in rap making a collab tape. Collab tapes don't usually sell well. WATTBA's numbers regressed because drake and future weren't in the same status or even fanbases. WTT didnt go double plat until streams. It didnt go gold fw. And that was with Kanye coming off MBDTF and Jay being Jay. Collab albums rarely do colossal fw numbers cause one artist isnt as big and the hype is different than a solo album hype.

I've always failed to see how reception really effects the sales of some artists though.
Like I don't think I can name a NOTABLE time where reception impacted the sales of an album like that.

It doesn't usually affect the first week but it affects the weeks after that. People will only keep supporting an album they like.

You can't be the hottest without the numbers to back it up, that's for sure.
