Kanye West's Bully was receiving some good news on the first week sales projections front earlier this week. Early reports were sharing that the album was on track to move around 250K-275K units. However, thanks to a new update from HITS Daily Double caught by Kurrco, expectations from Ye's fans will need to come down.

While it was most likely going to debut at number one next week with those initial predictions, it's now more reasonable that it will come into the Hot 200 chart at number two. Subsequently, the sales figure is way under.

Bully is looking like it will move 117,000 copies, with 20,000 of them coming from physical units. Previously, the latter figure was at 100,000.

K-pop supergroup BTS is now poised to premiere at the top spot. Their new album, ARIRANG is projected to sell 170,000 (120,000 pure). For those curious, Yeat's ADL seems poised to chart within the top five at number four with 80K (45K pure).

Ye fans are bit confused and calling the reports fake in the comments section. Ultimately, we will just have to wait and see what happens early next week. Sometimes, physical copy orders aren't able to reach customers in time before the deadline.

Why would the industry allow an independent artist to show the world the records labels are antiquated.

Say what you will about Ye but him doing the numbers I'm sure he really did would be testament to the machine being broken as well as saying fck Cancel Culture.
