Overview

  • Billboard reports 73,000 equivalent album units, split between 48,000 streaming units (about 65.8 million on-demand streams) and 25,000 in pure sales.
  • The album opens at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 behind Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl and Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem.
  • Social-media account Kurrco claims roughly 37,000 pure sales were removed from the tally, with no official explanation and no verified evidence of wrongdoing.
  • Early projections swung from roughly 53,000 to as high as 93,000–110,000, with outlets attributing the jump to a late surge in D2C digital downloads reportedly tied to even.biz.
  • The release arrived in multiple editions and five online-only CD variants, and it marks 21 Savage’s seventh project to reach the Billboard 200’s top five.
