Maybach Music Group rapper Wale's The Album About Nothing project is reportedly expected to debut atop the sales chart next week.
Based on early estimates, Wale’s LP could sell just under 100,000 copies.
*Wale (Atlantic) 85-90k sales, 90-95k SPS
Kendrick Lamar (TDE/Aftermath/Interscope) 55-60k sales, 70-75k SPS
*Ludacris (Def Jam) 55-60k sales, 60-65k SPS
*Death Cab For Cutie (Atlantic) 45-50k sales, 50-55k SPS (HITS Daily Double)
Wale recently said he hoped his new album would finally open fans’ eyes and earn him the respect he deserved.
“Everyone says, “Be patient. It’ll happen.” But all signs are showing, “No, it won’t happen.” I’m okay with people not liking my music but provide an intelligent reason for why you like or don’t like something or you’re a hater or a d*ck-rider. This is my fourth album. I want some respect. I want to go to a party and not have Katy Perry tell her security to move me out of the f*ckin’ way. We do the same thing. I know there’s no union in the music industry, but have some respect. I want people to be like, “Your album’s just as good as Kendrick [Lamar]’s or Esperanza Spalding or Beck.” I work just as hard as them.” (Billboard)
