People on my socials were lined up posting about having the album on repeat all day Friday... I mean.... Friday he had the top 15 on US Apple Music and now he has the top 22 on US Apple Music and song number 36 also went from 43 to 41. Obviously there are a lot of his fans who want to stream it first day, but clearly also a lot who are more casual about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense. His strength has obviously been repeated consumption, so it's not a surprise if it has more staying power at the top of streaming charts.

By far this is the most mature response in this thread. You said it best honestly. There is the benefit of the doubt that people can change and not make the same mistakes again. Like, we've all made mistakes and we've all said things we shouldn't have said. Not to the same degree as the N-word, but I know even on here we say things that upset others and really come off in a bad light. I mean, I know I said some bad or stupid things on my younger years on this site that I'd NEVER say now as a more matured person and I've been on this site since I was 14 (and again, not to the degree of the N-word but I said some dumb ignorant things as a teen). So we can only hope Morgan learned from this and will choose to grow instead of regress. Better to be a SZA than a Chris Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashdagoat Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 People in this thread (mostly Brando) bragging about their favorite pop stars getting frontloaded first week sales because physicals are easy to accumulate large numbers with when you have a huge fanbase... 1M people buying Midnights and not listening to a single song = 1M physicals sold = 1M sales for Billboard. 1M people streaming Morgan's new album the entire way through = just 36M streams in total = just 28,800 sales for Billboard just look at the disparity 400k streaming units is enormous.

JawBreaker Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 2 things can be right at the same time These numbers are huge no matter how u put it hes smashing real hard. But on the other hand he should be doing way more tbh. Hes coming off the biggest album in BB history with 36 tracks tacked on so yeah the numbers are kinda lackluster if u look at it that way.

JawBreaker Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Also why am I seeing 300k debut replies in here about Miley Yall are bat **** crazy She ain't even hitting 200k like be fr I highly doubt she'll pull a Olivia where the GP will still be interested in the drama in the album.

I think the estimation could go up to 500k during the week. He increased hard on Apple Music today compared to Friday. And the next US Spotify update will probably look crazy also.

Little Dark Age Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 12 hours ago, Cruel Summer said: They're specifying RIAA units, so they're probably taking into account that double albums are certified differently (essentially, the pure sales are doubled). Whether that's accurate or fair is entirely up for debate. The only other major studio albums released recently that would benefit from it are Taylor's rerecordings, so I've looked into the rules surrounding it and they're not really 100% clear. NO. they are counting Hits' number of 7M +100K but only the album mix of "Heartless" counts towards certification (because the other version is not on the album) so 5-600K has to be deleted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxicity. Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 That’s it? I was expecting 600k+ from his previous album’s performance. still huge but maybe the MAGAs are falling out of love with him already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianc33710 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 At some point I see Wallen selling vinyl & even cassettes for this release, likely as a boost to keep it #1 when big releases challenge him. Dangerous will probably get a pure sales boost too. I will project 600-650k 1st week & 250-300 2nd week. But I don't know how well he'll do after that.

I guess you guys just want him to fail. But he could get to 600k by the end of the week. It wouldn't be the first time HDD severely underestimates a big release.
