JPGIt was projected to be near 400 if his independent pre sales from first announcement of Bully counted. BB in partnership with EVEN + new rules basically cooled independent d2c sales with verifications and tons of hurdles
Well yeah if you leave a preorder link up for 2 years, but it didn’t work then, and it won’t ever work because of the rules around that

Let’s stop the talking and see how it sells?
Kalshi (conservative side) is projecting 500k
and we have people here saying it’s doing less than FATD…

Theres no projecting with no single

And don't get me wrong, I'd love to be wrong about this! It would be amazing for a hip-hop album to do 600K+ first week in this climate. I just genuinely don't see a way that would be possible without physicals
May 6shaleirosePeople are streaming older music more than ever. Streams of newly released music has been slowly declining since the start of 2025
Yeah that’s true
idk man I still just don’t see this album selling less than 450K- May 6·1 replyDr Lee PhD

ElementalThe “new rules” don’t really add a substantial amount to the total. I agree that the hype is there but with this music climate, I don’t see how it reaches CLB or Scorpion numbers
This is not true. Each stream now converts to an album unit with 20–33% fewer streams required, meaning artists rack up higher equivalent sales from the same listening activity. Drake benefits massively from this since he’s one of the most streamed artists on the planet. He should see a nice boost compared to the last few albums.

I thought it was paid streams only?
PALESTINE DATTEN 🇵🇸May 6·1 replyElementalI got Iceman doing 350-400k personally. It’s hard to do crazy numbers in 2026 strictly based off of streaming alone. I don’t think this’ll have more than 20 tracks either
I see the play crodie I back it
May 6·4 repliesI think the album will sell well but will be a underwhelming collection of 20-22 songs that will try to appeal to as many fans as possible
