Gunna Scores Modest First Week Sales Projections For “One Of Wun”

by

Gunna just dropped off a new album called One Of Wun, and so far, it has been getting a ton of mixed reviews. Overall, fans seem to like it. However, there have been a few negative reviews, with some saying that the artist just sounds like he always has. Either way, the new project has some great tracks on it that will certainly get a lot of play throughout the summer months. Gunna is great at crafting songs with a vibe to them, and One Of Wun is a great representation of that skill.

Having said all of that, some have been interested in how this album will do numbers-wise. Back in 2023, the artist’s comeback project a gift & a curse ended up doing 85,000 units in its first week. According to new projections from DJ Akademiks, One Of Wun is expected to do 65,000 units in the first week. It is still unknown if this will be good enough for the number one spot on the Billboard 200. For comparison’s sake, a gift & a curse debuted at number 3, although the project was heralded as one of the best of the year.

Beyonce’s new album, Cowboy Carter, is expected to move 350k copies in its first week according to a new report from Hits Daily Double. Additionally, the project already amassed 76 million streams in its first day available on Spotify. The figure is likely enough for it to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Beyonce dropped Cowboy Carter on Friday after promoting it with two singles back in February, “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages.” Cowboy Carter is the second in a trilogy of albums Beyonce began working on during the COVID-19 pandemic. She first released Renaissance back in August 2022. At that time, it debuted with 332k sales. The new 27-track effort features collaborations with a number of artists including Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Rhiannon Giddens, Stevie Wonder, Nile Rodgers, Raye, and Jon Batiste. Country legends Dolly Parton, Linda Martell, and Willie Nelson also serve as DJs.
