There were a bunch of mid-level rap-releases yesterday, let's see how they are going to do.
Metro Boomin's Travis Scott, Swae Lee, Gucci Mane, Kodak Black, and 21 Savage featured album Not All Heroes Wear Capes is projected to go 45 to 55K sales plus streaming with 3-4K in traditional sales in its first week.
That won't be enough to win the week, but it will be the biggest of the debuts.
Takoff's first solo album The Last Rocket will do 35-45K SPS and 3-4K traditional. (Quavo's solo album Quavo Huncho did 99K first week, and Offset's solo album is coming soon.)
Finally, Vince Staples's FM! is set to do 15-19K SPS 2-3K traditional, proving his observation he's more famous for his interviews than his music.
