NEW RELEASES: HEROES AND HEARTS

 

Although its curators would prefer you not to call it a soundtrack, the Black Panther album—crafted by Kendrick Lamar, Top Dawg and team to accompany the wildly anticipated Marvel blockbuster, which hits theaters in one week—has arrived, in tandem with an official ST (for the latest steamy installment in the Fifty Shades franchise).

 

Black Panther (TDE/Aftermath/Interscope) 110-120k total activity, 35-40k album

 

50 Shades Freed (Republic) 50-60k, 30-40k

 

As you probably know by now, Lamar performs on five of the Panther album's 14 tracks; other participants in the superhero sonics include The Weeknd, SZA, ScHoolboy Q, 2 Chainz, Khalid, Swae Lee, Jay Rock and Vince Staples. Panther is the #1 album at Apple Music and iTunes; seven tracks are currently in the Apple Music Top 10 and five in the Spotify Top 10 (with three in the Top 5).

Tragic numbers for 50SOG, but it's not surprising.

There's little buzz about the film and they chose an artist who isn't really big in the US to lead the soundtrack.

 

Black Panther

Good numbers so far  

 

Before anyone tries it, soundtracks do better once their parent film is released. 

Camila fifth week top 10 please  

Nnnnnn...was expecting 200k but oh well....physical isn't out yet right?

 

At least it got the #1 and longetivity is key with soundtrack ( look at Greatest Showman for example)

Pure sales  

Black Panther is doing good, but I expected a lil more  

it will have great longevity tho, so it's all good  

 

50SOG feeling that 3rd soundtrack curse n

people thought we'd get new sales lows left and right, but the lowest #1 seller is still from 2015, the Descendants soundtrack at just under 30k. Two other #1 sellers have been sub-35k both right around 30k as well, la la land soundtrack and stone sour.

Gurl... Post Malone is only getting bigger, he can release another hit if he wants. His streaming is going to be enormous once he releases.
