Damn lil Yachty bout to move 70k his first week

[Sauce Dab]

He put the biggest song on his 1st album and kept it on his 2nd lol.. Steaming Era fukkery

What song you talking about?

 

[L&HH]

If these numbers are legit than that's good for him. But I do think there's some funny business going on with the numbers. His first album he was smoking with features on hit singles, the album cover controversy, sprite/target commercials and he only did like 40k first week. Idk how you go from that to damn near doubling those numbers and he really hasn't done much to improve his stock since the first album.

right. it's 20k less than travis scott and quavo's tape, too.

where have we been at?

 

[Youngdev]

Not buying these numbers ,dude had mad hype for the first album singles buzzing and did 40k

Now with no single and no buzz he does 70k fukk outta here

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

“Clout”

 

[fkthisgaysite]

Not bad at all considering everything.

And before he had Target and Sprite promo for his first album. If you can't parlay that much promo into even a gold album, then yeah....it's a flop.
Fred.

He damn near doubled his sales from his first album a year after those Sprite and Target ads. As somebody who thinks Yatchy is trash I don't see how this is a flop.

y’all making excuses already I can’t wait until this Cardi drops next month

Let's put it like this. If someone without all the promo he had hit around 70k....what is that?

If he could have everyone from Target to Hot 97 to Complex hyping his career....and he does 70k....what would be low, for someone with that promotion?

This ain't necessarily directed at you but it's virtually impossible to have these kinds of discussions in 2018 because people expectations for artists are all over the place. 70k is what I would expect from an artist that's been around since the 90's or some shyt. Hell, Tribe did 135,000 first week after an 18 year hiatus. I'm obviously not comparing Yachty to a legacy act like Tribe but dude is arguably in the prime of his career, and receiving promo as such....and still most likely won't touch gold. If he's struggling to go gold on his second album....but that's not a flop....what will he be doing on his 4th or 5th album? Will he even be around for that?

I’d rather have a ugly god/ yatchy album than a takeoff/yatchy project.

Boom! Is

This is where I thing age plays an important role in perception and expectations.

As a dude in his 20's, there's no way I'd ever expect Yatchy to go gold first week no matter what commercials he's in.

Kendrick and Cole are out here going gold first week and I would never put him on their level.

Hell Yatchy himself would never expect to go gold first week.

He's a novelty act

Not to mention the Target commercial you bringing up was from last year and was out months before his first album.

In my opinion, a second album selling higher than a first album with less promotion and no big single roll out by almost double is not a flop
