Joe Budden Isn’t Buying Travis Scott’s “DAYS BEFORE RODEO” Sales Predictions One Bit

by

It’s safe to say that Travis Scott made a lot of his fans’ dreams come true a couple of weeks ago. After over a decade of waiting and praying, the Houston artist put DAYS BEFORE RODEO onto streaming services. Additionally, physical copy enthusiasts are jumping for joy because you are able to buy either it on vinyl or on CD format. Furthermore, it wouldn’t be a Travis Scott roll out if there weren’t any bundles. La Flame dropped quite a few of them where you could grab a t-shirt or a sweatshirt. Lastly, he sent fans into a frenzy by releasing five separate deluxe options, in addition to live and chopped ‘n screwed renditions.

With so many ways of packaging the project and do to it being a fan-favorite tape, DAYS BEFORE RODEO is looking to have the biggest first week for any rap album this year. We won’t be sure on what that number is until tomorrow, but before it was slated to move around 217,000 copies with over 80 percent of them being physical sales. With all of this in mind, it’s clear that Scott has been dominating hip-hop fans’ attention over these last 14 days or so. He’s even taking numbers away from some pretty notable names like YG and Cash Cobain and will most likely do the same to Destroy Lonely and Big Sean.

Fans Are Split On Joe Budden’s Theories About Travis Scott

However, even with Travis Scott having massive pull, Joe Budden is not accepting that these numbers are real. In the most recent episode of his podcast, him and the panel discussed this and how a tech company is inflating them. You can look at his skepticism in two ways. Firstly, he could be just flat out hating on Scott and discrediting how massive of an artist he is. Or he knows something that we don’t and he’s exposing people. Fans are shockingly split on this, with some pulling up the streaming stats to help make Joe’s point. Others feel that he doesn’t understand the project’s and the artist’s overall magnitude. Travis Scott rarely takes aim at anyone, but will he this time?

What are your thoughts on Joe Budden discounting that the sales forecast for Travis Scott’s DAYS BEFORE RODEO is accurate? Is the podcaster just hating or does he make a valid argument? Were you someone who purchased the project in any way? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Yeat “2093” First Week Sales Projections Will Surprise You

by

Yeat’s 2093 is out now, and a lot of fans are really loving the new directions and evolutions on display here. A lot of folks are fully into the project’s futuristic vibes and think that it’s the perfect fit for his style, presence, and overall artistic vision. Sure, the album is not a hit with everyone, but it seems like even some of his most ardent doubters online have some light praise for it. At least, that’s what the Twitter and social media conversations are leaning into these days, and we haven’t even wrapped up a whole weekend with it.

Furthermore, Yeat’s 2093 represents a chance for him to level up once more in his career. He already took things to the next level sonically, the fan reception is already there, and with features from Drake, Future, and Lil Wayne, his place in the game is more established than ever. But the California native might also do something that he had never done before with this LP. According to HITSDailyDouble, we already have early first week sales projections for the new album, and they point to a potentially historic debut for him.

Yeat’s 2093 Might Go No. 1

Apparently, Yeat is expected to move between 65K and 75K units in its first week, which puts it up for contention for the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200. Another main competitor in this race is Morgan Wallen’s One Thing At A Time, which has been a dominant presence in the charts for about a year now. Also, there’s the second week of Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures to consider, although Billboard didn’t seem to chart it at all. Both will reportedly move between 60K and 70K, and if 2093 surpasses them, it would be the “Lyfestylë” MC’s first number one of his career.

Of course, this would be really exciting to see, especially for the new generation. We wonder, though, if the Drake collab added to the album, “As We Speak,” will improve the album’s chart performance as a whole. We wouldn’t complain, though, as 2093 is worthy of the future. For more news and the latest updates on Yeat, come back to HNHH.

Chris Brown’s “11:11” First Week Sales Predictions

by

Chris Brown has had a long and extremely successful career, that is no secret. His hits are plentiful and he is a true established veteran in the R&B genre. He is now 11 albums deep which is a feat not many artists can say they have. That project ironically is called 11:11. The original plan for the record was for it to drop on November 11 as well, really committing to the bit. However, it was not much of a surprise when Breezy decided to drop it a day early, which was a Friday.

In hindsight, it was probably the right move, especially with a lot of other major artists dropping on that day. He would be a day behind and some people might not have known that someone had dropped on Saturday. However, Brown’s new album might not have been good enough regardless. As of now, only one track is gaining some traction. That is one of the lead singles, “Sensational,” with Davido and Lojay. Currently, it sits at nearly 10 million streams on Spotify.

Listen To 11:11 By Chris Brown

Even for some major artists like Brown, hip-hop and R&B tapes have not been performing well this year. That could be for a lot of reasons. But, hopefully, next year will see a bit of a resurgence. Chris is looking at a top 15 debut on the Billboard chart according to HipHopNMore and HitsDailyDouble. For sales, it looks like he will score around $40,000 with 8,000 of those being pure sales.

What are your initial thoughts on Chris Brown’s first-week sales projections? Do you think these numbers are shockingly low, or just right? Which songs from this tape are still in your rotation? We would like to know what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section.
