Honestly I think they'll both be fine and are overthinking things. The bundle shift for albums ensures both can put up a respectable first week number. Is it going to be the big number they want? That's the question. Cardi did 255k last time. Nicki did 185k last time respectively. Generally do I see either hitting 200k or higher? Probably not, but I'm thinking 160-190k is reasonable. There's so much saturation in the streaming market that to really blow past the numbers they want, they'd need a more diverse audience/demographic. Drake is Drake because brehs, white boys, women, thots, etc are checking the album. Same for Cole, same for Kendrick, same for Future and a few others. There's certainly a demographic of men who will stream a Nicki or Carid album lol...but it's not a large group compared to what male artists get.
