Tyga “Hotel California” First Week Sales Projections

    It appears that Compton rapper Tyga will be unable to surpass first week sales for his sophomore album, Careless World: Rise Of The Last King, with his latest effort. HotNewHipHop.com reports that Tyga’s newest studio album Hotel California will move between 45,000 and 50,000 copies in its first week.

    That number is a great deal less than the 61,000 copies Carless World: Rise Of The Last King sold in its first week when it was released well over a year ago. Tyga’s sophomore effort also came in at #4 on the Billboard 200.

    Released on Tuesday, April 9 via Young Money Entertainment, Hotel California features appearances from a number of noteworthy artists including 2 Chainz, Future, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne.

    Earlier in the week, Tyga quickly made headlines after coming to the defense of Maybach Music Group founder Rick Ross during a radio interview when he referred to the rapper’s controversial “U.O.E.N.O.” lyric as “freedom of speech.”

    1. THE GREATEST NIGGA OF YMCMB DOING REAL NUMBERS NIGGA ! YMCMB 4 LIFE BIRD MAN WILL BUY SOME MORE COPIES NEXT WEEK AND TYGA GO PLAT IN THE 2ND WEEK . SWAG !!!!!!!!

    2. HOW YOU ON YOUNG MONEY WITH BIG NAME FEATURES AND VIDEOS, SONGS ON THE RADIO, ADS ON TV AND YOU STILL SELL LESS THAN TYLER THE CREATOR WHO IS INDIE AND HAS NO SINGLES

      1. Because theres more hipsters willing to buy his music than there are black people, who’d rather buy from bootleg joe or torrent it.

        Might dislike hipsters but they support those they like

    3. my boy tyga did it again. how many can get 70000 one week with no promiotion. im tell yall. the song with him and 2pac. one legend with one legnend in the making! cant wait for the next album. rack city bitch!

      1. where you get 70000 from 45,000 and 50,000? So those ads for the album on BET don’t count as promotion?

      2. does it hurt to hate so much? fool ass nigga. its called research ho. try it out sometime. sucka mc aint got to place in teh game. streets talk adn they sayin this is hot fire.

      3. lol, you must have about 3 brain cells, the pair of ya put together, listen to your mindless garbage and stop runnin your mouth like a female!!!!

      4. “how many can get 70000 one week with no promotion”.. first off, it clearly says 45k to 50k, so i don’t know where 70k is coming from.. second, tyler the creator just sold 90k off his album with no promo and he’s independent.. get off tyga’s dick..

    4. HIPHOP DX DONT KNOW SHIT. WAIT TILL THE REAL NUMBERS COME OUT ALL YOU YMCMB HATERS WILL WISH U WAS RIDING WITH BIRDMAN AND LIL WANYNE. TYGA GONNA GO PLAT BEFORE KENDRIDICKK LAMA. YMCMB 4 LIFE. SWAGGGGGGGGGGG !!!!!

      1. haha i thought the same thing when dude’s lambo got towed. Invest well Tyga. And it isnt smart to back Rick Ross in a controversy 2 weeks before your album came out.

        Birdman prolly told dude to STFU

    6. well no hot hit from this album and to make it worse the album is not good, not saying that careless world was great but its far worse then careless world

    7. WHY IS CURTIS JACKSON SCARED OF RELEASING HIS ALBUM?…WHY HAS HE ALL OF A SUDDEN GONE QUIET. HE SAID YERS AGO BLACK MAGIC ALBUM WAS DONE…HE SAID 6 MONTHS AGO THAT SKI WAS DONE…WHY IS SCARED TO RELEASE HIS ALBUMS?…WELL ACCORDING TO U HHDXers “HE I SCARED OF HAVINNG ANOTHER BISD SALES NUMBERS”,BUT THAT ALBUM WENT GOLD…ALBUM SALES ARE DOWN FOR BLACK ARTIST OR RAPPERS(EXCEPT FOR JAY-Z, RICKY ROZAY,KANYE, BEYONCE ETC, THEY NEVER GONNA SELL ANYTHING LESS THAN A MILLION COPIES)THE ONLY PEOPLE SELLING ARE WHITE (TAYLOR SWIFT, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis,JUSTIN TIM, DRAKE—OH YES,HE IS WHITE AND UNCLE EMINEM-HIS SINGLES FROM HIS LAST 2 ALBUMS ARE STILL ON THE TOP 200 SINGLES CHART SO CHECK IT OUT B4 U WRITE SOME DUMB SHIT). BLCK ARTIST FLOSS TOO MUCH THAT U BLACK PEOPLE STOPPED SUPPORTING THEM…CURTIS RELEASE UR ALBUM…LET IT DO ITS SMALL NUMBERS…COZ U NEVER GONNA DO IT EM BIG NUMBERS…UNLESS U BUY TH ALBUMS URSELF…

      1. “EXCEPT FOR JAY-Z, RICKY ROZAY,KANYE, BEYONCE ETC, THEY NEVER GONNA SELL ANYTHING LESS THAN A MILLION COPIES)”

        You need to take Ross name off that list. he has never in his life sold 1 million copies of any album in the US

    8. lol, quite the comic strip, anything and everything young money is straight trash, garbage bag that and send it to the burn pit.. actually kind of funny how brainwashed society really is.. but by the looks of those numbers maybe some people are starting to come around and listen to REAL music, lol.. DEMIGODZ new album, KILLmatic, is a must hear to anyone who listen’s to real hip hop!!! on the other hand, if you’re a young money fan, lol, enjoi your thoughtless garbage, to each their own..

    9. “WHY IS CURTIS JACKSON SCARED OF RELEASING HIS ALBUM?”

      It’s not his decision when to release it. Interscope is jamming him up because they know it’s his last contractual album with them, plus they know it’s going to lose them money. BISD went gold, but probably cost more to make. I bet they broke even at best.

    10. gold in 1 month or less? you know sales just get lower and lower every week so if he sells 60k first week it would still take him a year to go gold minimum

    11. Cash Moneys Hype aint what it use to be, only artist that dont have to worry is Drake, I dont like the dude but he’s got his zone locked down. But alot of folks gettin tired of the rest of these niggas

    12. Tyga claims compton but he from the valley, just cause Game gave him a hood pass. Wannabe gangstas never prosper

      1. who the fuck is Game to give anyone a hood pass? Game himself wasn’t certified until his brother co-signed him

    13. THESE YESSIRS ARE ALL FAKES!!! WITH THAT SAID, YOU MAY NOT BE READING THE ARTICLE CORRECTLY!! THEY SAID HOTEL CALIFORNIA WILL SELL 45-50K SHORT OF 1 MILLION!!!

    14. If you think Richard`s story is unimaginable,, last pay cheque my son also made $7141 working eighteen hours a week from their apartment and the’re best friend’s sister-in-law`s neighbour has done this for 7-months and actually earned more than $7141 part time on- line. use the guide at this site……. ZOO80 Com

    15. This shit flopping harder than Careless World. He won’t even do 200k total. By the way, Reebok dropped Ross and he aint even know it.

    16. Hahahaha Tyler’s Wolf album sold 90k first week (shit slaps too), hardly NO promotion, little label influence, few guest appearances other than his OF bros, produced the entire shit himself, wrote the entire shit himself, announced the album two months before it came out, first single came out a month before the album dropped and the other single came out the same day as the leak. Oh did I mention, THE SHIT LEAKED LIKE A WEEK BEFORE lmao. Still got positive reviews. Yet this lame meerkat looking ass nigga is one one of the biggest labels out now, shit is all on the radio and sites like worldstar, all kinda big names on the album and it’s still hardly pushing 50k and is getting mixed reviews. The entire YMCMB camp needs to link up with MMG and off themselves Jim Jones koolaid style, make room for real hip-hop niggas.

      1. lol, best post I’ve seen in a while, so true.. and tyler did put out a good album, better than goblin, that’s for sure..

    17. A rich boy from the valley family had 2 range rovers n he talk this gangster shit sad little fucker rite here watch that reality show he was on swear to god how could neone buy this faggots music

    18. Hipsters, bought tylers album unlike you fuckers who bootleg shit anad torrent it thats how tyler sold more.

      1. And who exactly is going to pay for him to go to Europe? Unless the headliner is Wayne, Tyga will be lucky to tour the mall.

    19. hahaha, you are quite the comedian, yessir.. his last album came out in february of last year and that thing’s barely sitting at 300k..

    20. YOU MISREADING THIS!!! THEY SAID HE WOULD MOVE 40-50K UNITS LESS THAN 1 MILLION!!! HE WILL GO PLANTIMUM BY THE END OF THE WEEK!!!

      1. IM NOT DREAMING!!! IT DOES SAY THAT IT WOULD SELL 40-50K COPIES SHORT OF 1 MILLION WHICH IS 950K COPIES BY THE END OF THE WEEK!!

    21. LMAO!! I told you Tyga was gonna do 45-50k 1st week. This nigga Tyga is a loser. This shit won’t see any RIAA certifications of any kind. It’s been a bad start of the year for YM; Wayne had seizures and his album flopped, Nicki’s new single flopped and she’s about to get fired from AI, Tyga took more Ls than Bow Wow. The only one at YM who’s doing well is Drake; that nigga needs to jump ship cause it’s sinking.

      1. Im not dickriding Wayne or Minaj but to be fair, High School has just been released. Give it some time before we can call it a flop. Tyga’s definitely a flop however. Drake is the only YMCMB artist I can stand and he needs to sign himself over to his OVO label at Warner bros and leave YMCMB!!

    22. TYGA IS THE BEST ARTIST ON THE WESTCOAST!!! HE IS A REAL NIGGA FROM COMPTON THAT IS WHY LIL WAYNE SIGN HIM TO YMCMB!!! WAIT FOR THE REAL NUMBERS TO COME IN HE WILL GO GOLD IN 1 MONTH !!!

      1. FUCC U FAKE ASS NIGGA HE WILL GO GOLD WITHIN A MONTH.BIRD MAN TOLD ME !!! REAL PEOPLE WANT REAL MUSIC TYGA WILL SELL THE BEST!!!!

      2. TYGA REALEST NIGGA OUTTA COMPTON AFTER NWA.HE WILL SELL GO GOLD OR PLAT NEXT WEEK!!! U YMCMB HATERS WAIT. TYGA REAL NIGGA!!!!!

      3. Keep dreaming, kid. Keep dreaming. Tyga is a fake nigga from the valley, not Compton. This album will not see gold/platinum status; it’ll go triple wood.

      4. ANNOYNMOUS SHUT UP NIGGA U DONT KNOW SHIT. TYGA IS REAL MUSIC AND THAT WILL SELL. REAL PEOPLE BUY REAL MUSIC NIGGA!!! TYGA IS SO LYRICAL THE BEST IN YMCMBM AFTER LIL WAYNE HE WILL DO REAL NUMBERS

      5. “Rack city, bitch, rack, rack city bitch
        Rack city, bitch, rack, rack city bitch”

        Yeah. Real lyrical. Real music. Keep telling yourself that bullshit.

      6. how many times have you sucked Tyga’s and ymcmb’s dick this past week. you have over 10 comments on this page alone. Tyga is garbage and u are a typical ymcmb fan, blind as a bat. ymcmb is complete garbage, dre eazy kendrick and game are real compton rappers. And u are a nobody that brags up a nobody, GET THE F*** OUTTA HERE AND OFF THIS WEBSITE U PUS** FOOL!

    23. And ya’ll thought Game flopped, Tyga had hot singles and a good buzz, all Game had was a mediocre single that peeked at 81 on BB100 and hardly any buzz. #GameTime

      1. GAME WISH HE WAS ON YMCMB WITH THE BOSS BIRD MAN AND WEEZY!!! THEN HE WOULD BE GO PLATINUM BY NOW !!!!!!

      2. Nah. If Game was at YMCMB, he’ll never release an album. He’ll be another tax write-off like the other 90 artists signed to the label that aren’t Wayne, Drake, and Nicki.

    24. TYGA IS GOING GOLD NEXT WEEK AND HIS 2ND WEEK SALES HE WILL BE AT THE SAME SALES AS KENDICKKK THEN AFTER THAT WEEK HE WILL BE PLATINUM!!!! YMCMBM!!!!!!!

      1. If you believe that, you need psychiatric help, ASAP. It’ll sell 50k the first week and will not go gold/platinum.

      2. ^the fact that you responded to a blatant troll shows that YOU are the only one that needs fucking mental help

      1. its 2013 now, lil wayne fell the fuck off years ago and his core base from 06-08 stopped tuning in after c4, it’ll drop in 2015 and do 150k if that, but your prolly right about drake

    25. YOU YMCMB HATERS WILL BE CRYING WHEN YOU SEE THE REAL SALES OF THIS ALBUM COME OUT. BIRD MAN ALREADY HAS BOUGHT 500K COPIES. WEEZY WILL MAKE SURE IT GOES PLATINUM BY NEXT WEEK!!!! YMCMB!!!!!

    26. Honestly Those Numbers Aren’t Bad Considering He Had No Hits This Time….Dope Wasn’t That Big, Molly Didn’t Make Any Noise, They Didn’t Even Try To Push The Chris Brown Record….

      1. lol that’s like saying “its not bad that he didn’t get into any school considering he didnt go to any classes this year”. lol

    27. thats cause everybodys getting back into Ja Rule, that niggas gonna have the rap game on lock this summer

    28. ITS MURDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    29. In all honesty, he probably would’ve moved twice as many units had he replaced Pac’s verse with a Ja Rule feature.

      1. He would’ve moved twice if he was a better rapper. BTW, rick ross isn’t a rapper. He’s a raper.

    30. Oh Well, he should have put Ja Rule on it and it would of went diamond, bitches pay to hear ja rules amazing voice

    31. I DON’T GET WHY SUCH A GOOD MC AND LYRICIST AS TYGA HAS TO HAVE TUPAC FEATURE ON HIS ALBUM. HIS BARS RUINED THE WHOLE ALBUM. HE IS OVERRATED WESTCOAST RAPPER WHO GOT HALF OF THE WESTSIDE ON HIS DICK. EVERYBODY SEEMS TO “RESPECT” HIM BUT WHEN YOU ASK HIS FANS WHAT ARE THEIR FAVOURITE SONGS, THEY CAN’T REALLY ANSWER BECAUSE ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS THE THEORIES WHY HE IS STILL ALIVE. RIGHT NOW, TUPAC HAS NO CREDIBILITY AMONG PEOPLE WITH REAL MUSIC TASTE, ONLY KIDS LISTEN TO HIM, THEY AIN’T EVEN BEEN HERE WHEN HE DIED.

      1. IGNORE THE FAKE; HE’S LYING. TYGA IS WACK AND TUPAC IS ONE OF THE GREATEST RAPPERS OF ALL TIME. HIS MUSIC IS TIMELESS AND STILL LIVES ON. EVERYONE IN THE RAP GAME RESPECTS HIM. EVERY RAPPER THAT CAME UP AFTER TUPAC LOOKS UP TO HIM.
