It's not really weird, Carti is very popular in Europe for some reason since WLR. The youth there loves rage music. Pretty much the same reason why Travis is so popular there because he's doing "rage" music for them

Nokia now #3.
Luther now #6.
Somebody Loves Me also rose from #31 to #28.

By Tuesday, most of Carti's songs would have taken massive dips.

It’s looking like he might still do over 300k just by streaming 😮

1 million first week sales

-36% decline even though he didn’t have a full day for friday isn’t good and today’s decline might be around -50% but i still think he’s on pace for 400 million streams. let’s say it stabilizes at around 45 million streams for the rest of the week and has 460 million streams globally on spotify at the end of the week. around 43% of those streams coming from the US that’s 197 million streams just from spotify, he should be doing slightly better on AM and then with all the other streaming services combined he’ll do over 400 million easily

what are the actual US spotify numbers for his second day?

Which hip hop album was the last to do that? Was it FATD or has another one done it since then?

34.67M

only drake and lil wayne have achieved this

FATD (2023) - 391k SEA
her loss (2022) - 391k SEA
CLB (2021) - 562k SEA
carter v (2018) - 325k SEA
scorpion (2018) - 551k SEA

came close:

gnx (2024) - 285k SEA
legends never die (2020) - 283k SEA
eternal atake (2020) - 278k SEA
bb&b (2018) - 288k SEA

non-rap albums to achieve it:

ttpd (2024) - 683k SEA
otaat (2023) - 382k SEA
SOS (2022) - 310k SEA
midnights (2022) - 419k SEA

so he had a more significant -42% decline in the US, i guess it’s still possible let’s see what HDD says

WLR, fe!n, and carnival

Good Credit holding on. Top 10 debut for sure.

What number is realistic rn for Carti fw?

You should take another trip overseas to figure out whether his streaming numbers are organic
Like how you spent your holiday in Spain investigating Bad Bunny for the chart thread

I will never believe the streaming numbers for TTPD were legit man. Call me delusional but the jump from Midnights isn't natural

350

Ain’t no oversees trip, he took a bus from France to Spain and reported back because there was no bad bunny at a tapas bar

Kendrick stimmy just don’t hit like Drakes. 😤 Meltdown and Sicko Mode he really does this

Me too lmao and nobody knows the songs on there.

Kids who were in middle school when sicko mode came out halfway done with college now

If we reminiscing old times might as well talk G Unit co-signs

with the way the giver collapsed in streams i think anxiety has the best shot at replacing luther at #1 in the next few weeks, it’ll eventually overtake luther in streams but the radio disparity will still be huge

Somebody Loves Me now #26, surpassing TV Off and Anxiety.

For an album a few users in here said flopped.. it sure has some staying power
