Juice WRLD's Legends Never Die (Grade A/Interscope) is headed for a massive first week. After one day of sales and streams, the posthumous release is tracking toward an opening of 400-440k in total activity, with projected on-demand audio streams expected to reach over 400 million, enough to give Legends the biggest single week streaming total of any album so far this year. Lil Uzi Vert's Eternal Atake currently holds that distinction with 376 million.

If Legends hits the high end of its projection, it will be just behind The Weeknd's 444k total for After Hours (XO/Republic), which to date is the year's biggest first week. Expect team Interscope to pull out all the stops to push Legends over that hump.

Juice WRLD (Grade A/Interscope) 400-440k total activity, 110-125k albums
Summer Walker (LVRN/Interscope) 33-38k, 3-5k

A strong D2C showing will contribute to an album total of 140k or more.

Use Google? Why do y'all always openly tell everyone you're ignorant instead of just using a search engine

It's a great album

I mean, they're probably used to the days back when you couldn't just Google things, my parents teas

Why are the pure sales so high?

This album is amazing

So we might have 2 posthumous #1’s

back to back.

400k+  that’s crazy!

 

i’ve never liked albums released after an artist’s death, it just doesn’t sit right by me. but these are spectacular numbers nonetheless.

deserved, it's an amazing album 

Legend 

 

Deserves. Two great albums back to back at #1 

Hate Me did that.

wonder how high he'll chart H100. As lead, his career highs so far are #2 and #10

Those pure sales are great, is there a vinyl or is that all digital?

Huge numbers!

Was hoping Summer would do a bit more

It’s ok music but I don’t see the appeal around him and this current trend among the youth

 

these rappers sing about drugs, promote their use and then die from their usage of these very drugs... it’s of course sad to see any person pass away, but to then worship them as an icon is bizarre. They should be seen as tragedies not heroes — It’s the glorification that’s keeps the cycle churning and leading to more and more unneeded young death.

 

Yes I know he openly talked about his mental health and his drug use/health were intertwined — but it doesn’t make it any less okay that he actively promoted drug use in his music.

 

at the end of the day, his death is heartbreaking but his music is still subpar at best and glamorizes his struggle instead of really doing any ounce of good

 the youth calls anyone they like an icon or legend if they give two albums they like.

 

it's scary but in hip hop the problematic ones are usually glorified dead or alive, sadly

110k pure? How? 

Massive numbers! Wow! A massive debut on the Billboard 200 the week after a huge debut. I got tired of seeing the #1 album with less than 70k.
