Here are the projected first week numbers for Kanye West’s ye
The album was released last Friday.
Chart Data has shared the projected first week streams and slaes for Kanye West's new album ye. The seven-track project is thought to have moved 175-190k equivalent album units, with between 70-80k coming from pure album sales.
The album's numbers are fairly strong considering the project's short length. For comparison's sake, A$AP Rocky's 15-track album TESTING is set to debut at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 75k equivalent albums. Just ahead of Rocky's project is Pusha-T's DAYTONA, another seven-track album released on Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music, which reportedly moved 77k units for a bow at No. 3.
Two of the biggest rap debuts of the year have belonged to Post Malone and J. Cole. Post's album beerbongs & bentleys exploded at No. 1 in May with 461k units streamed and sold, while Cole's KOD project debuted the week prior with 397k total after seven days.
