Moneybagg Yo dropped "A Gangsta's Pain" in April 2021 selling 110K first week.
J. Cole dropped "The Off Season" in May 2021 selling 282K first week.

This week (week ending July 2nd), despite being the older album, Moneybagg Yo outsold J. Cole's album by about 1000 units;

Moneybagg Yo is also ahead in overall units, and with his sales being consistent, don't see Cole catching up/surpassing soon;

I find this super impressive for Moneybagg. I remember a thread earlier this year about Moneybagg outselling Megan first week and I said that while he may do that, he won't outsell overall - but he looking like he might; and outsell J. Cole overall too.

Long way from this

It’s the numbers don’t lie for me 💅🏾

the streets not f***ing with j.cole ....

cant be

Bagg has hits on his album so it makes sense. Time Today one of the bigger rap songs this year. I remember a year ago some idiot on ktt2 said nobody listens to Moneybagg Yo so it's funny seeing him be so successful now. Idk if Bagg will maintain this longevity on his current album but Cole's album is definitely gonna go plat by the end of the year and it doesn't have a hit. It's more of a mixtape anyway.

🤣🤣

the flop season 😭😭😭

in b4 yall make excuses for cole 🤣🤣

2min too late

I knew moneybagg yo was top 3 when I heard this...

If you think this would EVER happen to Drake or Kendrick

CoLe BiG 3

Completely delusional

real rap won

They need to change something, this era's numbers is going to be skewed heavily..

I think the only reason Moneybagg is doing these crazy numbers is cause he's had a viral TikTok hit for a while

Idk how it works but I wouldn't doubt if this is the only song being streamed a tremendous amount of times to boost his "album sales"

I wouldn't be surprised if TikTok videos using your song a certain number of times counts as 1 album sale now

It could happen to anyone

TikTok holds the power now, they got the rap game in a chokehold

an appetizer tape being outsold by long, hit filled albums?

wait until fall off drops before you say ignorant s***

Almost like he has hits on his album!

yall just say anything lmao

Noooooo I’m not waiting for s***
Cole stans been telling me to wait since like 2017! It’s over

saying what

it has damn near double the tracks

1500 streams are 1 album unit (RIAA)
1250 PAID streams are one album unit/3750 free streams are 1 album unit (Billboard)

and no tiktok doesnt count for album streams

its not an appetizer tape (atleast anymore) cole himself said it was an album lol.

and not yo's fault cole aint have hits

Yeah so you could have 1 song do 1500 streams, and that will count as a whole sale for your album

That's not too bad I guess

more tracks doesnt necessarily mean more streams. but yall can keep comin with excuses haha
