First week numbers are in for ‘90059’ and ‘Da Nic,’ and they’re not the highest sales I ever seen. Travis Scott second week sales and The Weeknd third week sales have also dropped significantly. Click the jump to see the charts.
Jay Rock’s freshman album titled ‘90059,’ had guest appearances from Rock’s TDE label-mates Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, ScHoolboy Q, Isaiah Rashad and SZA, as well as Busta Rhymes. However, the support from his peers didn’t help, as he was only able to sell 16,012 first week and debut number 11. ‘90059’ is the lowest first week sale from the TDE camp for a major debut album.
T.I.’s surprise EP ‘Da Nic’, which feature appearances from Young Dro and Young Thug, and production from London on da Track, was only able to move 15,100 units. This placed him number 12 on the charts, one spot behind Jay Rock. However, the EP is just the precursor for his tenth studio album The Dime Trap.
In other news, Travis Scott’s 2nd week numbers plummet by over 80%. ‘Rodeo’ had 70k sales first week to 11k in his second week sales. I thought his rumored relationship with Rihanna would of boost his sales.
Additionally, The Weeknd had another decent drop off this week. His album titled ‘Beauty Behind the Madness,’ was only able to sell 46,332 from the past seven days. His album debuted number one three weeks ago on the billboard 200, after moving 325,000 units.
