Wiz Khalifa projected to sell less than 150,000 first week
- Thread starter Sad Bunny
- Start date
Anybody with inside info know, whats the budget on these albums nowadays?
If they spending $500k and less (everything from production, mastering, packaging, promotion) I can see how they still make good money

All of them had bigger hits than Wiz this year
2 Chainz' "No Lie" - The song debuted at number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100. In its tenth week, the song peaked at number #24 .
Meek Mill's "Amen: - US Billboard Hot 100 - #57
Meek Mill & Wale - "Bag Of Money" (featuring Rick Ross, Meek Mill and T-Pain) US Hot 100 - #64
Wiz Khalifa - Work Hard, Play Hard - US Billboard Hot 100 - #17

I'm comparing their second albums as far as Wale goes. Wale dropped a year ago with Ambition. This is Wiz's second major album (I know it's his fourth overall).
Even then, as far as this year, what MONSTER singles did Kendrick have? Meek? Only 2 Chainz had anything comparable and he's gonna outsell him. Wiz slacked on the effort for his second album and it shows. Period.

I ain't even bother downloading his shyt...but if he ends up selling marginally less than he did with Rolling Papers (a 50K difference in first weeks is 
) I'd actually be surprised...to me he seemed to be buzzless, so it's a testement to his fanbase i guess...I was expecting him to do some Bobby Ray sophmore album numbers

Swimming Pools
and Work Hard, Play Hard was so big they pushed the album back 4 months and Wiz had to put out another tape to keep people happy. Neither Wiz nor Atlantic capitalized off of that song.
Now Work Hard, Play Hard charted at 13 on the hip-hop charts. Bag Of Money peaked at #2 . Amen peaked at #5 . Swimming Pools peaked at #4 . No Lie was #1 . Wale had a #1 song on that chart. Work Hard, Play Hard, wasn't as big of a hit towards the fans he relies on to buy his records.
The biggest hit Wiz really had all year came from a soundtrack to a movie nobody saw or bought.

That's not my point. You know exactly what kind of fanbase Wiz is going after. Because of that, he should have way better sales. I know more white folks who are checking for that Wiz album than black folks. Easily. Yet Kendrick is getting the sales thanks to having an underground/mainstream fanbase that Wiz doesn't have anymore.
And I didn't know Swimming Pools had made it to 19 on the Hot 100. That's what's up. Kendrick deserves that AND his gold album.

Album sales are down regardless. Kendrick Lamar had a better first week sales than expected. What will we say by his 2nd album when it comes out. Its hard to sell more and more each release. The music industry is fickle because the fans are. I like both Kendrick Lamar and Wiz albums. I can tell you that Wiz has more national appeal and a more diverse fanbase. The industry is about touring now and being able to get endorsements. Wiz can go to a city or college town and sell out a venue. How many albums does does Snoop sell? After a while, it becomes irrelevant.

thats not a good look especially when meek did what he did. I blame it on the music he doesnt have a huge hit our right now. I am sure atlantic is not happy with this because they gave him his own label they looking at him like a flagship artist. unless maybe he releases another single and it blows up this is gonna hurt wiz career in long wrong. Im not hater but Im glad he not selling alot cause he really sucks. maybe this will make him stop trying so hard to sell out and dumb it down.
