With various reviews of the album touting it as his best work to date, early first week sales projections for Big Sean’s Dark Sky Paradise suggest the project is going to be the Detroit lyricist’s most successful opening commercially.
The G.O.O.D. Music emcee is slated to sell between 120,000 and 130,000 copies of Dark Sky Paradise in its first week in stores, according to Hits Daily Double. The site also reports that the project is estimated to do between 140,000 and 150,000 in sales plus streams.
This will mark Big Sean’s biggest first week sales to date. His 2011 effort Finally Famous sold 87,000 copies within the first seven days of its release while 2013’s Hall Of Fame moved 72,000 units.
Big Sean’s latest effort earned a 4 out of 5 rating from HipHopDX. Here’s what writer Eric Diep had to say about the project:
“It’s on his third studio album, Dark Sky Paradise, that listeners are seeing a fully formed emcee ready to seize the spotlight.”

Cool!
not bad i guess
thats pretty good but its still like half of what cole and kendrick selling and 1/4 of drake
you guys are the streaming/downloading generation why you are so obsessed with sales is beyond logic
Bullshit. His first album only sold 80k OW and his second album did even worse. Either Big Sean is buying albums to prop up sales or the projected sales figures are wrong.
so because his last album sold 50k his new one cant do better? he had a pretty big single. some artists actually gain fans as time goes on…
He was losing fans though. That increase is suspect.
Big sean was losing fans though.
J Cole went from selling 297k to 372k did he buy them albums too?
Hit singles can help an artist gain fans. Nothing suspect about Big Sean increasing.
That’s different. J Cole’s album sales kept rising while sean’s fell and rose. That increase was suspect. Both artists are pop.
dating ariana grande probably helps too
How are J Cole and Big Sean pop when they don’t even make pop music? They’re both hip-hop artists making hip-hop music. There’s nithing suspect about Big Sean’s increased sales especially when he has a huge hit.
Their shit ain’t hiphop and Big Sean declined from 80k to 72k second album so how is he increasing?
How are their music not hip-hop? Both Cole and Sean are rappers who are rapping over hip-hop beats. That’s hip-hop, just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s not. Again, Big Sean had a big hit single, which is why his sales have increased. There’s your answer.
Beats are pop as fuck.
The beats are all hip-hop. There’s nothing pop about them.
At least tyga and chris brown’s album is flopping. Fools thinking they were going to get rick ross when he refuses to do business with anyone that disrespect birdman.
And then tyga, being the disloyal bitch he is, instead suggested working with 50 even though Ross ended that fool’s career. As for the wale and fat trel songs, they were recorded before tyga dissed baby.
You’re a moron, aren’t you? 1. Ross will work with anyone. 2. Tyga wasn’t disloyal. 3. Ross did niot end 50 Cent’s career. 4. That last sentence, along with everything else you said, is all a lie.
Glad to see tyga flopping despite chris brown helping him out. Simple, he disrespected Cash Money’s culture, consequences follow.
Cash Money has no culture, so there’s no consequences. Tyga wasalready flopping since his first album.
Tyga flopped even harder off cash money.
I see that an Ariana Grande co-sign is not a bad thing.

Big Sean for that co-sign from the Ariana bitch so all the lil bitches that actually buy albums are hip to this nigga and plus he got some hot singles in rotation.
You have the right answer of today. Which proves my point he appeals to the pop generation, especially when he’s dating a wack pop star.
^ Wrong, bitch.
