Nah, he's probably right it would be around 200k - maybe not over but hovering around there, maybe slightly less if anything. However, it would solely be Tyler & Frank as the only people carrying sales numbers here. Not to say the rest of the people here aren't talented or don't have fanbases, but they aren't picking up sales like that. Frank did like 280k on Blonde and Tyler did 170k for CMIYGL. Even if you assume Frank's numbers have naturally fallen from new billboard regulations and general time, he's still incredibly popular. Tyler is arguably just reaching peak solo popularity still for example. Everyone else would be basically tacked on sales wise (Earl isn't really selling much or even charting at this point in his career for example) but Tyler + Frank alone with enough marketing would basically ensure like a 180-210k range.
Group albums generally do less than the biggest artist's first week, not more.
Especially since this is a group compilation, it wouldn't do anything near 200K.

Frank would be in like one track tops. He’s not impacting their sales in this situation much at all
120k
150k with frank
With Tyler's current mainstream success and the promise of potential new Frank Ocean?
Plus The Internet?
I can see 60k on the low end.

there's no way this tape would actually happen anyway so it's all purely theoretical anyway, so let's just assume Frank was a big part of the marketing or whatever in this case.If he wasn't actually on it then yeah probably would sell identical to a Tyler album.
There are so many better questions to ask about a 2020s Odd Future album than how much they’d sell.

While that's true to an extent, and 100% true for collabs/promo albums, I'm looking at this from a more historical standpoint. In 2012, OF Tape Vol 2 did a first week of 40k and then rose to around 100k within a year, and was #5 on billboard. By comparison, the only real comparable act in the group selling that much was Tyler, who essentially sold the same first week a year before with Goblin, and that with several viral songs (She, Yonkers). No one else in OF was pushing those numbers then - only other person was Frank from NU in 2011 which was a mixtape, and those weren't as commercialized back then. Besides Tyler, no one was really pushing sales numbers beyond general fandom/brand popularity. OF has more of a unified brand history than general collabs - arguably more people recognized OF than the actual people in OF. So I'm just going based on that.
