Other notable performers this week: Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp a Butterfly” (~55-60K sales, 70-75K total units), Ludacris’ “Ludaversal” (~55-60K sales, 60-65K total units), Death Cab for Cutie’s “Kintsugi” (~45-50K sales, 50-55K units) and Darius Rucker’s “Southern Style” (~40-45K sales, 40-45K total units). Well, Wale has just released his latest project, Shine 2 days ago. Wale granted his fans with a mixtape in between that held its own and was a treat to longtime fans. His marketing strategy of releasing singles and mixtapes to promote his albums worked well for his third album, ‘The Gifted,’ and his fourth album, ‘The Album About Nothing,’ that were released in 20, respectively.
#Wale the album about nothing sales full
Its been since 2015 that he released his full length EP The Album About Nothing. It was preceded by a promotional mixtape titled ‘The Eleven One Eleven Theory’ that went viral and boosted the sales of the album. The album was supported by two official singles, 'The Body' and 'The Matrimony'. Its been awhile since Wale has dropped an album. “The Gifted,” that release, moved 158,000 traditional copies in its first week. The album, which was recorded from 2013 to 2015, serves as a continuation of Wales Seinfeld-themed mixtape series. TAAN may be the most personal album Wale has released to date and is most important to his core fans, as it follows two mixtapes (mixtape about nothing & more about nothing) that were also centered around this theme.

The two tallies will power “Nothing” to a victory on the Billboard Top Album Sales and Billboard 200 charts, respectively.Įasily enough for that #1 debut, the album’s sales total will nonetheless represent a far cry from that of Wale’s previous album. Wale’s fourth studio album, The Album About Nothing, serves as part 3 of Wale’s About Nothing music series.

With Track Equivalent Album (10 single sales = 1 album sale) and Streaming Equivalent Album (1500 single streams = 1 album sale) data included, the album should register a first week consumption total of 90-95,000 units. The throne will instead fall to Wale’s “The Album About Nothing,” which is set for a comfortable victory in the weekly sales race.Īccording to Hits Daily Double, “Nothing” is on track for an opening week sales total in the 85-90,000 range. Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp a Butterfly” will not score a third week atop the album sales chart.
