Lil Nas X album set to be outsold by CLB's week 3 numbers

This man had an extreme marketing push, was constantly making headlines everywhere the last 2 years, was at every award show, trolling everyone and everything, had multiple top 5 hits and he can't even crack 200k in his debut? The industry plant has underperformed.

 

150k sounds about right from what I'd expect for him. Also his marketing isn't that expensive because he just does shyt to go viral and get people talking which they are. And he's also going to be more of a singles artists. I guarantee a few songs on that album will get 300+ million streams within a year or so. His label is definitely eating well off him.

 

Nah, this man should've done 300k easily just based off the exposure from every media source imaginable. To say nothing of his chart topping singles. He flopped.

 

1st weeks mean not much now. Im pretty sure this album will be in the top 200 for over 30 weeks minimum

 

That's very good considering he's just a fluke viral rapper.

 

this is more than what doja and meg sold he might be here to stay

 

all that trolling and dikk sucking homey doing and he does a mingy ass 150k? lmao

 

Lol the tone in this title is wild. 150k is a very good first week. Pop acts never do big album numbers, they mash all their bread off singles.

nikkas tryna find a reason to hate

 

What exactly is his about?

 

This is good numbers for this climate.

 

His fan base is not that big to do 300k. Only drake and kayne are doing those numbers now.

 

That's pretty good numbers. OP acting like if he didn't do Drake or Kanye numbers he flopped, but that's far from reality. I don't even like this fakkit but numbers are no issue.

 

Its a good number but given the pop hype and viral stuff I was expecting way more (250-300k)

I know peope mention that Doja and Megan sold that first week and then were on the charts consistently. They had a bunch of singles lined up and rolled out over time. His launch was kind of big, he released a music video for every song on the album when it dropped. Theres some pop stuff that get on the radio but I think he should lined up them up with new videos over time rather all at once.

We'll see maybe the replay value will work but I dont know how he can go viral if he has released every video short of multiple remixes

 

It isn't? This man is averaging 55 million streams monthly on Spotify. He's the most streamed "rapper" on that platform. He's the 12th most streamed artist on that platform. He should've done north of 200k.

 

That's what I'm saying!!! He's one of the biggest fukking streaming artists on Spotify. He has White publications constantly running positive articles about him. He is at every awards show. He should have debuted at 200 to 250k.
