Rod Wave did 140k last album without half the support from Alamo.

Hopefully someone at the label realizes they have a real superstar before it’s too late

This is true. Well if we move Cole then the only discrepancy is Cardi B and Uzi.

Do you consider them on megastar level?

If so then there is no need for that middle designation of super star

I think the bubbling is off, doing 100k this era is a star tbh. I mean meg is one and she only did like 90 or so

Yeah. i think anyone over that 250 is a "megastar". Eminem too (his 2020 release did 270K)

It's true. First week numbers might not be the best way to rate artist

But it's kinda accurate as well.

And cleared 1M by end of 2021. And is one of the top streamed artists in the US this year without being a pop/legacy act or any recently released projects

saw ppl doubting he’d do 100K which was wild to me

Durk selling this much is like the least surprising thing to happen lately

Rap is def changing guards slowly.

5 years gonna be insane to see who on top.

wtf he put out a new album ?

Real street rappers running this

The fans are tired of the cap raps.

Even drakes biggest singles from his last album featured street rappers (and they did majority of the song (hook+verses)

Pop music won

finna listen tonight

Yeah he’ll always be able to come with a single.

S*** that “wig” snippet he posted on his ig might be the one.

I think his ability to make a consistent album is coming into question

Voice of the heroes did that much? usually the collab album dont do that well first week

He still would be over 100k...

They usually do less than the bigger artists first week.

Baby in 2020 - 197K
Durk in 2020 - 66K (first full week)
Collab album: 150K

Drake in 2015 - 535K (mixtape)
Future in 2015: 151K
Collab: 375K

Being a collab album vs a collab mixtape another factor.

Overall sales says more then first week

Gunna has album of the year right now

eh the future and gunna songs the 2nd and 3rd most streamed on Apple Music

Future and Morgan wallen song the 2 most streamed on Spotify from his album

YB pulled 140k ZERO FEATURES but these numbers good for Durk I was only responding to the guy who said L for Youngboy

This is a good point too!

Here is the album sales top 50 for 2021

RodWave (130K), Polo G (143K), MoneyBagg Yo (110K) all sold significantly less than Kanye (309K) and J Cole (282K) first week but are ahead overall.

Obviously if you drop in January/album from a previous year you get 12 months vs dropping in December you only get 1 month but still interesting.

Also pre release single units from 2021 are included in this

I think horsegirl did exactly 100k

i think overall sales are more important but can also fool u because 1 hit song can carry an album the whole year and they still not be a superstar come next album(Roddy)

I mean Kanye is mostly spectacle, people tune in first week after he has months of fake beefs and staged psychotic episodes.

He hasn’t made (or rather his ghost writers) havent made good music in years. Not really a fair comparison

the morgan wallen song been out so of course it has the most streams on spotify 💀💀

Durk wouldve easily cleared 100k without it

Rod Wave trash bruh and Alamo know it
