Tunechi is back and at the top of charts as projected. Tha Carter V is expected to debut at No. 1 next week on the Billboard 200. HITS Daily Double says the album is on track to move 475-525,000 units in its first week, of those, 165-180,000 are traditional album sales.
The album had 49.5 million streams alone in its first 24 hours. That makes it the second largest debut in the history of the streaming platform only behind Drake’s Scorpion that has 80.5 million. Since its debut this past Friday, C5 has surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify. In addition, all 23 songs take up the first 23 of the 25 top song spots on U.S. Apple Music. Check out what fans are saying on Twitter about the album:
Wayne is a true punchline and metaphor rapper during a time it doesn’t really exist and I’m NOT mad at that at all. Stay true to you and your style. That’s why I love #ThaCarterV because unlike other vets who conform he rapping how HE raps.
