Tekashi 6ix9ine spent weeks bagging on other artists for their low album sales but got a rude awakening when his TattleTales album’s first-week sales projections dropped from roughly 150,000 to 45,000. Subsequently, the project debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart this week as Big Sean’s Detroit 2 album soared to the No. 1 spot.
Interestingly enough, even older albums from two late rappers — Pop Smoke and Juice Wrld — outsold the brash Brooklyn rapper. According to Billboard, Pop’s posthumous release Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon landed at No. 2 while Juice Wrld’s Legends Never Die settled in at No. 3.
Pop’s Shoot For The Stars Aim For The Moon was initially released on July 3, five months after he was murdered at a Hollywood Hills home. With the help of 50 Cent, his debut effort was able to come to fruition and made its grand entrance at No. 1 with approximately 251,000 total album equivalent units sold in its first week.
Meanwhile, Juice Wrld’s third studio album dropped on July 10, seven months after he suffered a fatal seizure at the Chicago Midway Airport. The 22-track effort also entered the chart at No. 1 with over 497,000 total album equivalent units sold in its first week.
Billboard Reports Tekashi 6ix9ine’s ‘TattleTales’ Bundles Were Counted In Disappointing Debut
Seventeen of the album’s songs charted on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending July 25, with five entries in the Top 10 — “Come & Go,” “Wishing Well,” “Conversations,” “Life’s A Mess” and “Hate the Other Side,” the third artist next to The Beatles and Drake to achieve this feat.
Although 6ix9ine’s TattleTale album was originally expected to debut in the coveted spot, Billboard reportedly disqualified over 100,000 streams that were wrapped up in bundles. But Billboard says they actually were counted; the album simply didn’t sell well.
Because its trash. Who with sane mind would listen a clown who for 30 minutes tries to prove that bitch rhymes with shit?
I am so glad this guy is falling off the radar sooner than he expected. It’s good to know that some Hip Hop music tenets are still maintained. Once upon a time, there was a guy like him called Stitches.
Totally forgot he existed at one time.
the fact hes top 5 still shows hes killin it. everyone hatin and hes still top 5. ? yall are dumb as fuck
gimmick rappers come and go, and this cornball’s time is coming. eventually, once his suburban teenage fan base grows up, they wont wanna hear his high-pitched annoying voice screaming gibberish and will move on. meanwhile, real artists with actual talent stick around as long as they want to.
all i see on this website anymore are right-wing anti-black trolls who somehow love hip-hop and follow all the news on it? it’s confusing and honestly depressing to see. that being said, it’s always comforting to find an article like this where everyone can agree, 69 is trash and on his way out of the culture. except for foh, who is a moron, and most likely still a virgin.
ST00PID !
It’s the Russian bots sowing division. The stuff is real
Hahahahahahaha Snitch Nine Flopppppppppppppppppeeeeedddddddddd!!!!!!!! HahahahHahaga
Hahahaha Hahahaha RatBoy Flllllllllllooooooopppppppppppeeeeeddddddd!!!! Hahahahahahaha Hahahaha
Despite all the hating, King Tekashi still moving units independently so ya’ll can keep ya’ll charts. All the talk in the world won’t stop his record from heating up the street.
lol lol typical comment from a lost soul in denial. the streets have spoken and ain’t nobody listening to it
Welp you’re a complete dipshit.
Heating up the trash cans maybe. You know ain’t nobody’s keeping that hot trash after he hands it out. It’s going right where it belongs. Basura!
This album is a piece of shit. His old gang shit was better. He is done. I feel sorry for all the money he has spent. He going to be broke in a few years. Dumb kid.

Lol at the excuses Tekashi fans are giving. Your “king” flopped, you may continue crying in your rooms.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Damn outsold by dead men. He’s literally on foot handing it out he’s so desperate. He knows its the one thing these dead artists can’t do and he still struggling. Damn. And all the dumb fucks and 15 year olds who actually bought this trash are Soooooo butt hurt. HahahahhaahahhahahahahahahahahHAHAHAHHhahHahahaahhabahahahHahHhhahah FUck off.
Dead rappers get better promotion – Jadakiss proverb
I can’t help but feel that there’ll be a movie about dude years down the road. And he’ll be applauded. Not that I support him. I just see it.
It happens for a reason 69 will come up.
Just need a little hunger .He will teach you haters one more time.And haters never learn there lesson.Easy to critize like snitch,rat ,but maybe thats the push he needs.Dont give up 69!?????
What dat “B”like?456piru.
How much more of a push does he need? How does he have damn near 25 million followers on IG and been the center of attention for the past two years and only end up selling 50k first week? Big Sean didn’t need all that and ended up with the #1 album. Your boy flopped, just accept the fact.
Lol this is a flop but he’s not finished, this pip squeek got a platinum and a gold single off the album smh
He is total garbage 99% of music made today is garbage all they do is talk over a beat they dont rap or sing over it. 69 is horrible biggie and pac are rolling the their graves right now rip . all the people in the music world made awesome songs over the years and this rainbow corny dickhead comes and gets pulled in a wagon and doing stupid shit. U ever see eminem or jay z or nas or any rapper doing that stupid shit. He needs to get put in his place. F$$k him!!
6ix9ine snitched on people that was protecting his clown ass! How can you like his music when it’s all a act like the black face era when white folks used black paint on their face to make a mockery of our race. He is making a mockery out of the bloods and the streets because he ain’t dead for all the violations he did as a suppose affiliate of the blood gang which he turned and snitched on but he was supposedly during the same street shit with literally. But when you fake just like a informate or undercover agent many have been found out to be usually they get debt with asap but maybe his time is coming; and in death maybe he will sell more albums ? smh
A mockery of bloods and the street??
Your a mockery of your race dog. You think bloods and gangsters are cool? Go sell drugs and murder people. Kill snitches. Grow up. Your nothing to brag about trust me.
Well you know your album is trash when you’re getting outsold by two dead guys. That’s the point, pop smoke and juice world release their albums months ago, both have died, and both are still selling lots of records. Takashi was expected to go number one and sell at least 150,000 records. I think billboard is just trying to rub it in, since a few months ago takashi was talking s*** about billboard, Ariana grande and Justin Bieber and saying that billboard was favoring those two over him. I’ve always said that wants takashi got out of jail he will still sell music because people will be interested in his story and his snitching. But I said that would only last so long and people will eventually get tired of him and his shenanigans, and it looks like it’s already starting to happen.
