    The most hyped rap album for 2 YEARS makes less then Drakes crappy "mixtape" I didn't think it was going to crack a million like some but 318K? Thats pathetic.

    no he won't
    he won't even be close after three weeks. he would have to sell MORE in his second and third weeks than he did in the opening week. not gonna happen. He's lucky to do 200k next week, probably not that much.

    This was a pretty perfect explanation. Kendrick is far from a household name

    The fact that a lot of stores weren't even selling the album really hurt the sales. I feel like if this whole thing was done perfectly it might've done 500k
    Either way I think it'll go gold next week.

    why are itunes and whit not included in over all sales? Kendrick did not have a big single but he did some out standing s--- with this album. His next album will do numbers because its all eyes on Kendrick now.

    Cole's 354k was pre streams. With streams he did around 370k.

    Cole sold more than K Dot. As I expected, ya'll were gassing Kendrick's sales though I was never expecting him to do over 400k.

    Look up Born Sinner sales and compare them to TPAB sales. Kendrick is not that famous bro, he's on his second album and has no commercial reach like Drake does, chill. Kendrick = Cole in all sales levels. Neither of them = Drake.

    Quadruple post:

    "It's Official: As expected, Drake's "Nothing Was the Same" has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with the second-largest sales week of 2013.

    The album, the hip-hop star's third full-length release, sold 658,000 copies in its first week (ending Sunday, Sept. 29) according to Nielsen SoundScan."

    So how did he break streaming records with those numbers? I'm confused as to how he had the album streamed 9 million times but it's only 300k - could somebody explai?!
