250k is insane, that'll go down to 220k i bet

I wonder if the second week will outsell HUT's. Probably close

Doesnt this mean its the highest fw SEA for a R&B album of all time?

who got the deets @thegreatdivine

edit: nvm sza probably got it beat

Still can't believe SOS did 400m streams fw, so abnormally high. More than Ariana + BIllie's last albums combined

Makes sense tbh

SZA is deeply connected with hip hop/rap and so the normal rap listener is listening to her too

Nobody who is listening to hip hop or rap cares about Billie and Ariana

This the annoying s*** pop stans do

lol 250k is hella high, very surprised

I'm actually guessing it goes higher
280?

She really got a chokehold on hip hop fans

That’s a flop

Interesting fact, FATD sold 2.6m units in the US in its first 12 months of release. Without a mega hit or anything even close to a mega hit

After Hours sold 2.5m in its first 12 months of release with all those megahits

That's kinda insane to me tbh, I don't really understand how FATD sold the same amount as AH considering all the hits on AH. FATD felt like it disappeared hella fast

@fader

I was more correct with my first week projection than a lot of Drake stans on here

AM came through big for the boy

You know exactly why

bots?

i actually don't ngl. fatd felt like a huge flop to me. im surprised its already 2x plat and almost 3x

No but AM carried FATD too

The more interesting question would be what would've sold FATD and $$$ without AM?

yeah good question, i wonder the same for hits like BL/Die With a Smile, what would they be without Spotify

this is the 2nd time i recall money trees being projected to enter the hot 100 and it not happening and i don’t understand why? it can’t be a recurrency issue since it never charted

Nope Drake is corny. But it is my hopes

SZA is billed as "UA" on the Billboard 200.
