You think Ye will break 250k units first week?

I just put a good amount onto "Yes" so lets all stream and buy the s*** out of it when it drops please

also if your not on polymarket yet there are a couple Kanye markets that are pretty cool

s*** will go triple or double plat

slam yes and lets all make some money :)

Its either gonna be unfinshed crap or a instant classic

I meant triple wood or double plat

lmaooooo

Yes 250+

Definitely over 250k when it comes out next Friday

if it does ~300m streams and sells ~50k pure then yes. kanye could easily do 100k+ pure but he'd need physicals which obviously can't be produced as fast as they would need to be to meet the august 6th release date.

yes

Can someone explain me this and how do steams translate to sell numbers

Sell like for actual money? No, even if there's a physical preorder. Stream equivalent units? Yes, if there are two or three serious bangers that non stans listen to. Heaven and Hell will be one of them.

Do physical presales not count until they're shipped out?

not since billboard changed the rules, no. that's why some artists (like billie, lorde, and halsey) have like two or three months between their albums being announced and being released, so they can have all their physicals ready to ship first week. it's pretty much the opposite of how kanye works these days lol.

Yes

So is this the workaround for bundles?

yeah, but it's nowhere near as unethical as bundles, since people are actually buying physical copies of the albums. with bundles it was merch with a digital download, it was obvious what people were actually buying lol.

If JIK did 264k I’m gonna say yes

This release feels way bigger

300-500k

agreed but tbh I'm sure defjam has the connections to get physicals made in 2-3 days

Definitely

No matter what it sells DONDA a classic

DONDA

Depends on the amount of tracks in this streaming era sadly

Who cares?
