A few meted stats to aid your fancy:

Among Rap Artists--He is consistently Top 2 most streamed across digital platforms

He garnered 21.3M streams on Spotify today alone (2nd highest among Rap Artists)

He has the most albums tracking 1M+ daily streams on Spotify (10 LPs-Tied with Taylor Swift)

(7/12/2023) Today's spotify #'s for Ye albums garnering 1M+ daily streams

He's moved the equivalent of 1M+ album units over the first 6 months of 2023-- Despite not having a guest feature of note in a year/ Last releasing an lp in Aug '21

summa summarum : All in all..I'd say he does 300k+ first week easy (with a standard release devoid of any pre-release f#ckery,ofcourse)

DONDA 4

6 million

300-400k

Not related to thread but an interesting aside nonetheless:

Graduation consistently outperforming Drake's highest streaming/ most recent effort, Her Loss

Grad - 4.3M daily streams

Her Loss - 4.0M daily streams

Otw

Man doesnt release normally on friday anymore

With a proper rollout and release on friday he could do near 300k fw
But if he drops monday again prob more close to 200k fw

Grad very popular on tiktok lately and his most commercial album

900k

Bad Bunny ................. 224 Tracks
Taylor Swift ............... 502 Tracks
Drake .......................... 437 Tracks
Kanye West ............... 371 Tracks
Kendrick Lamar ........ 227 Tracks
Harry Styles ............... 37 Tracks
XXXTENTACION ...... 161 Tracks

Honestly it depends on the quality of the music. Kanye always has good rollouts and knows how to build hype. Only album of his that fell under the radar was Ye. If it's a MBDTF level album or even just TLOP level then it could do 300k easily imo

Depends on the press run

If Kanye played the traditional route with singles and promo runs (and the album was GOOD and not just bloated rough drag albums like Donda 1 / 2), then eh could easily do 500K+ no problem

Kanye can make MBDTF / Grad / TLOP mainstream s*** if he wants to, he just chooses to not be the old Kanye we love

Next album

1 TRILLION

A lot

350-400k first week if it comes out on a Friday

a billion

300k

The range is pretty massive. If he drops dogshit or like Donda 2 remastered, maybe 100-200k. If he drops something decent-good with a good rollout, realistically 250-400k. However, Ye's ceiling is still pretty huge. If he dropped a GEM, and I mean like something with a couple big hits and the kind of quality that can't be denied, I say his ceiling is 400-500k. No more than that though, simply because there is a small, but significant group of people who won't listen.

200k+ guaranteed

Easily

Ahh yea

Hopefully he doesn't drop on a Sunday like Donda 1

not sure but if he drops this year and actually has bangers it would be the biggest album this year

23 been mid so far and the world needs another Kanye album

Morgan wallen numbers minimum, he’s gonna have the MAGA demographic checking for his s***

450k
