Projected album sales for Kendrick Lamar’s untitled unmastered. and 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne’s Collegrove released.
With the start of the work week, album sales estimates for two of the month’s biggest Hip Hop releases have been revealed. The first is Kendrick Lamar’s surprise album, untitled unmastered., while the other is 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne’s collaborative project, Collegrove.
According to HITS Daily Double, album sales for untitled unmastered. are predicted to break into the six-digits, with 140,000 to 150,000 albums sold. Those numbers for K-Dot’s surprise release would pale in comparison to numbers for last year’s To Pimp A Butterfly, which moved 324,000 units in its first week.
The release of untitled unmastered. came shortly after TDE founder/CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith revealed the 2016 release schedule for TDE, via Instagram. A note by Kendrick Lamar’s name on the schedule read, “??? (GET TOP ON THE PHONE).”
2 Chainz and Lil Wayne’s collaborative album, Collegrove is projected to sell between 35,000 and 45,000 albums.
Released last Friday, Collegrove was first announced during 2 Chainz’s appearance on the Rap Radar podcast, last November.
“I’ve got Collegrove, that I’m working on,” 2 Chainz said. “That’s the me and Wayne project. That will be out, probably sooner than people think.”

Well duh!
Right?
hasn’t even been a full week though? and I could care less how much Kendrick sells just as long as he continues to release new music I will support it #untitledunmastered
It’s an EP of unreleased music and everybody knows it. Are you saying you expected this shit to sell more?
All of the reports that I’ve read, project it to do more in line with 175-185000 album sales. And I will continue to support good music, as long as Kendrick and the likes continue come up with it.
any physicals coming out? i dont buy digital. if i cant hold a copy why not just burn songs
And THAT my friend, is the reason I burn songs.
Kendrick winning!
More like Kendrick Losing. Drake can go over 400k each release while lamer’s album is struggling to do 200k.
No, Kendrick’s winning. Aubrey’s last album didn’t even do 400K 1st week and Kendrick has no problem doing 200K while scoring another number one album. Quit being a Kendrick hater/Drake dickrider. That shit is played out, kid.
