Kendrick Lamar is expected to continue his reign on top of the Billboard charts next week.
Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly earned the top spot on the charts in its first week by selling 324,403 copies. According to Hits Daily Double, the album should remain there, as its expected to sell an additional 100,000 copies by next week.
The projections for Action Bronson’s major label debut, Mr. Wonderful, and Earl Sweatshirt’s sophomore studio album, I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside have also been calculated.
Bronson is slated to sell between 40,000 – 45,000 copies, while Earl could sell anywhere between 28,000 and 35,000 copies.
Both Bronson and Earl could be outsold next week by the popular kids compilation series Kidz Bop.

Dese albums terrible
So Bronson flopped. He deserved it. He didn’t put any effort in this CD. All of his previous projects sounds better than this average ass album.
bronsons albym was weak AF i was s urprised bc he’s nice and he releaesd that garbage didn’t even try on his album was so boring. i was highly disappointed..luckily i check cds on youtube before i buy them bc id be tight right now
Bronson album is weak as fuck but I don’t think it’s from not trying; he just wildly misjudged what he’s good at, which is enteraining rap music…Even as a joke, all his ‘rock’-oriented bullshit sucks, and Billy Joel was always goddamn wack.
Selling 50,00 won’t even break even for all the promotion costs etc; which probably not as bad as Laughterhouse– to name another Paul Rosenberg abortion– but what was the fucking point?
To Bronsn’s credit, he doesn’t NEED a dogshit major label album to peform live or pursue do food shit etc.
2 stars out of 5
Mr. Wonderful >> To Pimp A Butterfly >>> Earl’s new joint
@ Truth, big fucking deal? That’s like saying
