Bad Boy Records’ French Montana is going to enjoy some time on the sales chart. The hip-hop star’s new Jungle Rules album is reportedly set to easily a strong opening week debut.
Based on initial estimates, Montana’s long-awaited follow-up to 2013’s Excuse My French could sell up to 50,000 copies.
Despite some stiff competition this week, music mogul JAY-Z‘s 4:44 easily dominated the sales chart.
Following a one-week Tidal exclusive, Jay-Z’s 4:44 became available to purchase, as well as stream at most major DSPs—with the exception of Spotify, whose free tier took them out of the game. That said, the Roc Nation set has gone #1 on HITS’ Sales Plus Streaming (SPS) Chart, moving 278k units this week.

Recently, rap veteran Busta Rhymes and NBA champion Matt Barnes co-signed JAY’s new 4:44 album.
Heading into last weekend, 4:44‘s initial sales projections surfaced.
