That seems lite, no?
No single until yesterday and he didn’t include The Heart Part 5 on the album, which was streaming EXTREMELY well.

Plus no physicals.


In 2017 Humble was a number 1 smash hit that helped propel the album. None of that on this project

350K is To Pimp A Butterfly territory, which this album is even LESS commercially viable than that project. So his numbers are pretty good all things considered. Kanye went on an entire album listening promo tour across STADIUMS whilst doing any and everything he could to become a 24/7 TMZ media headline and still “only” managed 309k first week.

No it did not

and physicals don’t matter. It’s wild y’all are using this as some sort of excuses

these numbers are good, the 2nd week drop is going to be brutal because the album sucks
Kendrick did 350k with physicals last album.

I expected more simply because it’s been 5 years but this is not a a flop!!

These are great first week numbers. I expect him to still do 150-200k next week and be the number 2 album in the country because Post Malone numbers will be crazy.

The rollout was great. The hype was real. He’s doing good numbers. The album was good for what it is.

Ok what’s the point?

Take out the 46k clb did physical

He did 570k then
What's the point of bringing up Drake? Nobody has said Kendrick is going to outsell Drake.
Very light. He sold 350,000 with Damn. 600k total when you factor in streaming.
This is flop territory.
Damn was also his most commercial album, vs a sonic therapy program.

This isn't a flop.
