    It said at least 300k. I think once its out & word spreads about hopefully how good it is it will beat Drake & do 500k.

    Once people find out about it, the sales will be huge. Is it still coming out as a physical copy too? Or just purely Apple Music digital exclusive

    Yah this is doing 500k minimum first week and could've easily did a mill if it was a standard release.. I think people are underrating Dre's input he'll have on these tracks. Did he even solely produce anything on his last 2 albums?

    Off just pre-orders and no physicals? Yea, seems pretty huge. Then we'll still have a full week of actual digital release too. And no single yet.

    I'll be pretty disappointed if this doesn't outsell IYRTITL's first week numbers

    When those 300k people will spread the greatness of that album it could do 800-1000k

    Yeah with announcing it just a week early/no singles and no physicals? Yeah I'd say that's pretty good. Also didn't realize kdot did 324k. I thought it was less.

    Just dropped in to see if anyone can please help me understand how DWMTN did 215k first week? Highest Charting single is #38. It drives me crazy

    As far as this album goes, id say 400k-500k maybe im wrong but i dont think its 300k preorders, its x amount of preorders that would equate to about 300k sales...

    300k is just confirmed pre orders though. I expect the vast majority to just buy on release date. Could someone explain the point in pre ordering a digital release? I get pre ordering a physical release, it guarantees you actually get the product on release day but digital is an endless supply!

    Meek has a huge regional fanbase, not just in Philly. Plus his press with Nicki.

    300k is A LOT

    I haven't pre-ordered it yet. Don't think I will, normally get it when it releases.
