Anyways back to celebrating the Grammy Award Winning Cardi B and her VOGUE cover (which is difficult to get not everyone has that)

 

Ready for the Halloween release

[DR0GO]

How does it work with the WAP and Up sales/streams if they're both on the album? All of it gets added to the first week sales?

Has Happier Than Ever caught up even halfway with IOP yet? 

It’s sold over 1M more units WW, more pure sales both in the US and WW, outstreamed, and is currently still charting (unlike IOP). You tell me.

 

 

[dumbsparce]

So is she working on ideas for the album or is it coming soon? It can't be both  Hopefully she'll drop it the moment Pink Friday 2 goes live. We deserve an actual bloodbath after years of peace in pop culture. The boring gen z girls are not bringing it.

[Scorp]

Her first and only album still hasn’t been outstreamed , outsold or outcharted by any of her peers. I’m ready for chapter 2

So WAP is diamond eligible which equates to 1M SPS

UP is around 4-5x platinum eligible which equates to 4-500k SPS

 

If they include Please me 4x platinum eligible which equates to 400k SPS

Money 6x platinum eligible which equates to 600k SPS

Press 2x platinum which equates to 200k SPS

 

1st week without first week sales gives her a starting point at 2.7M SPS.

 

Now realistically, Money, Please me, Press, WAp and up are not making the album unless they are tacked on as bonus tracks or something.

 

If Cardi has a song out that's multiplatinum before album release and the album includes WAP and UP (perhaps as bonus tracks) she'd be very close to if not at 2x platinum within the first week depending on numbers. Some think Press might slide in there and that could make it easier to go 2x platinum in the first week.

 

So all the built up SPS counts towards a first week certification. It won't add to 1st week sales but will allow an artist to certify the album quickly and use it as promo.

 

[SpaceOddity]

The monster numbers if she includes every song post-debut, geez.

[Green]

At this point it's better for her to wait to release it in early 2024

 

Doja Cat and Nicki Minaj are releasing in the fall and there's too much competition already

[ImpressMeMuch]

Y’all she’s not timing her album release around Nicki, she was obviously just waiting for the new face so she can be the first ever artist to win best new artist twice! A Lizzo effect

Honestly a pretty hilarious way to game the system. I bet we see a rule change soon after if she does it.

[Thor]

She’s morphing into that cat lady. What’s going on?
