For these unaware, the tenth anniversary re-release of his fan-favorite mixtape DAYS BEFORE RODEO debuted at No. 2 upon launch following a nail-biting however well-fought race with Sabrina Carpenter’s Brief N’ Candy LP… Potential gross sales discrepancies and all. Nevertheless, now we will put that combative and minimizing dialog (that goes each methods) to relaxation, because the venture jumped from 106 to No. 1 in its fourth week of launch after vinyl editions completely obtainable on La Flame’s web site shipped out.
In reality, that is the most important gross sales week for any hip-hop vinyl in trendy historical past, and contributed to a complete of 156K album-equivalent models bought within the monitoring week ending September 19.
