Billboard: TLOP could've sold 400k

[milik_19]

"Still, demand for Pablo was high, as evidenced by the 500,000 downloads (estimated by TorrentFreak) pirated in its first 24 hours. A conventional release could have sold 400,000 copies in its first week, one retail executive estimates, which at standard wholesale pricing would equate to $3.6 million in sales revenue -- a blow to the rapper, who claims debt of $53 million from his fashion exploits.At this point, the rollout has become tantamount to an artist-sanctioned leak before the label even has its hands on it. Multiple sources tell Billboardthat Def Jam and UMG are working closely with West on several possible release strategies and that a physical version is due, perhaps as a deluxe edition or a bundle with another West product"

Ye really fukked up

I think he wants his music to be exclusive like his shoes...

90% of the regular Black folks over 30 on my Facebook haven't even heard the album yet or even know that it's been released...

The same type of folks that were quoting Drake lines a week after his last album dropped..

Why do media outlets keep taking that 53 million debt tweet so literally? He's already explained that he was simply saying he's spent 53 million on investments in the last 13 years.

He might be a "genius" but not a smart business man.... His shyt still isn't on sale in stores????? What's the point of doing that?

 

[ARey]

I mean he didn't and they can guess all they want but they have no way of really knowing how much this meh album would have sold.

Kanye knew this shyt well ahead of time I'm TELLING y'all none of this is by accident or coincidence.

I'm not claiming some huge conspiracy, but Kanye is playing this "crazed artist" thing to a TEE. It's FANTASTIC promotion and has made him the absolute center of the entertainment world for going on two weeks. His fashion show, his shoes, his album, everything right now is focused on those three things in some shape form or fashion. Kanye really is a genius for this, but he's not crazy and he's NOT fukking up his money believe that
