Why is everyone bugging about Katy Perrys #s. Her last albums first week sold 192K....and is at 5mill worldwide now.
Beat you she doesnt have a huge drop off in the 2nd week and the numbers will be consistent as she continues to release singles. Her fans arent like hip hop fans who seek leaks and release dates.
Wayne is still hot c5 doing another milly
Yeezy last album flopped so dont discredit Wayne and not Kanye

Yeezus at 700k with no radio single and he JUST started touringYeezus at 700k with no radio single and he JUST started touring
drake had 4 top 15 singles off TC....the difference in the 2 is the buying tendencies of consumers from genre to genre
However for Khaled though .. we all know that his album sales are negligible ... dude pretty much puts out an album filled with 13 potential singles. If he gets 5 million single sales off all the songs on the album he's fine.

Most of them songs are off the strength of love from the artist. A khaled album is like a platform ... for you to promote your own projects .. u think all the features is getting points on the album?
regardless .. to me its a glorified compilation mixtape .. with fire beats ..
I cant see where he just ups and stops making music.

Rihanna barely does 200k each album and each album goes platinum.
Bruno Mars first album did less than 100k first week and went2x platinum. Hius second album did less than 200k and went 1.5x platinum.
Moral of the story is that Pop albums have long legs. As the 3-4-5 hits crank out, the numbers will be steady.
Hip-hop albums tend to do close to half their numbers in the first week. If you do 300k in hiphop you doing 700k tops most likely. Katie's going 1.5m at least. Quote me.
