Despite facing an early leak and a handful of other release issues, Kid Cudi’s Indicud album seems poised to do quite well in first week sales. Hits Daily Double reports that Indicud will sell anywhere between 140,000 and 155,000 copies in its first week.
That number is a step up from Cudi’s last album WZRD, a collaboration with Dot da Genius that went on to sell 70,000 copies in its first week.
With sales numbers that could max out at 155,000, the Cleveland rapper may just find himself clenching the #1 spot on Billboard next week if he can manage to outsell Illinois rocker’s Fall Out Boy.
Released on April 16, Indicud serves as Kid Cudi’s first major release since he announced his split from G.O.O.D. Music at the top of the month. The 18-track album features guest appearances from RZA, A$AP Rocky, Kendrick Lamar, and more.

This album is fucking crazy yo.
Definitely one of the best albums of 2013 so far.
thats really not saying much
Sick album
I’ll pass
so why didnt you pass on clicking this article?
Because he suffers from… “No Life Syndrome”
AMAZING ARTIST! He deserves those numbers and more! Always stays original and fuck the maintstream!
hes mainstream as fuck
he supposed to be a rapper
“he supposed to be a rapper”
Says who? In my impartial opinion I would classify Cudi as an music artist.
whats crazy is he only got like 800k twitter followers while tyga on the other hand has 5.5 million and only managed to move 51k first week! that shit cray!!!
So ? What twitter followers got to do with sales ? You think Tyga should be 5X platinum just because he has 5 milli followers ? People know Tyga album is garbage, that is why his sales are low.
with that many “fans” he should have at least pushed 100k
“tyga on the other hand has 5.5 million”
You see 5, 088,725 and sat 5.5…
i didnt actually look that shit up but HAHA i made you go to tygas twitter
Yeah it was hard work, typed Tyga’s name in google and there was his Twitter account.
being off by 420k followers doesnt really change what i said though
t-mac thats the point. with that much of a “following” youd EXPECT for him to do better. really puts things into perspective about fans and loyalty
Shout out to Cudi did it on his own. Doesnt need GOOD anymore.
He still had A label.
He did, his own.
Props 2 him, this album is actually pretty good, hopefully these numbers stay steady throughout the weeks
HAHA 140K FIRST WEEK AND THIS ALBUM IS WHAT HE HAS CALLED ”HIS VERSION OF THE CHRONIC ALBUM”?! LMFAO CMON NOW FIRST OFF U MIGHT CONSIDER JOINING INTERSCOPE IF U WANT MORE SALES AND RECOGNITION FROM THE BIG LEAGUES..HENCE THE FACT THEY GOT POPPIN ARTISTS SUCH AS KEEF AND PRODUCERS LIKE YOUNG CHOPPA TO APPEAL THE MASSES
keef? that lil homo thug that sold 50k first week? cudi sold more in 1 week than keef has sold in 4 months!!!!!!
I really don’t think you want to refer anyone to Interscope. I hear from artist that they try to pit artist against each other and all the mental mind games is abusive to artist. They give you a huge advance, then they try to brainwash you and you’ll likely end up being owned forever;Tantamount to slavery
I like how you didn’t mention Kendrick, who’s a bigger artist than Chief Keef.
WOAH!!! THAT’S A LOT CONSIDERING I DON’T HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ALBUM ON TV/RADIO/MEDIA!!
CUDDDDDEERRRRR!
Kid Cudi is my favorite album. He’s awesome because he’s the first black artist after Lil Wayne to do Rock. But I can’t stand Lil Wayne. I’m only 16 but I listen to real music, and I think Kid Cudi is the new Bob Marley. I didn’t buy his album yet but as soon as I get my allowance I’m going to by 2 copies.
1. Kid Cudi
2. Kenderick Lamar
3. Drake
4. J Cole
5. Joe Buddens
Keep trolling dude, you know you wanted people to bite and mention Jimi Hendrix
why would anyone mention jimi hendrix? hes FAR from being the first black rocker do some research
@EyeCon
Your trolls are usually quite funny. Not this one. Step your trolling game up.
1st album was nice, but indicud is super boring… zzz
big numbers
Good 1st week numbers for Kid Cudi.
Considering how the last album (which sold 186k copies on opening week) had the benefit of Kayne West and his Good label promoting it, considering Cudi made a more personal album, these sales are actually good. Cudi’s more experimental. Might not be Wayne level sales but still that’s GOOD.
it might not have that staying power though. these sales are probably Cudi’s major fans all buying the album first week. without any hits, it will drop off the charts quickly.
HAHA, CUDI FLOPPED!!! WAYNE SOLD MORE THAN THAT PUNY TOTAL!!! YMCMB WINS!!
maybe he should have faked his own death
How is this a flop when Kid Cudi is about to sell more than his last album? Wayne is the one who flopped. So YMCMB doesn’t win shit.
If you compare Wayne to Kid Cudi your an idiot. Kid Cudi makes music not hip hop. Great sounds and shit is Kid Cudi. Wayne is hip hop. Kid Cudi is one of the greatest artist of all time back off him. And lil Wayne is one of the greatest of all time. You cant compare their styles if they are not the same. Simple minded ass haters.
lol @ wayne making hip-hop
wayne makes bullshit rap for kids
I’m an idiot I don’t know what Im talking about waah waah poopy
“Wayne is hip hop”. “And lil Wayne is one of the greatest of all time.”
I seriously hope you’re trolling.
Wayne is one of the reasons commercial hip hop sucks now
Cudi is apart of the Hip Hop genre but this album had tracks that didn’t fit the so called rap genre. Don’t get me wrong, this album was real dope but it’s not really traditional rap. It was real different but still amazing, and he also took it back to his older stuff. 4/5 overall
nobody can outsell Lil Wayne aka da best sellin rapper of da decade. swag
well how much did wzrd go on to sell to date?
i dont think he will go over 100k first week. i would put my money on 80,000
these predictions are usually pretty spot on. they are based off of the first days sales figures
indicud my ass wack
wack ass album this nigga sucks i dont understand how people say he’s talented and all that when hes a horrible rapper and producer.
Kid cudi Music is very unqiue and different. When Kid cudi first started off on his career, He was more of a Lyrical rapper. He always had those bangers. I could compare him to alot of rappers back in the day. But now, HES THE FUCKING MAN! And I cant even compare him to anyone anymore. But his music is amazing. Listen to Indicudi and if you did already, Listen to it again. I feel all sorts of connections on every lyric he drops. I dont giva fuck what you people say about him though, Kid Cudi is going to have a very first week sales. #BelieveIT. Fuck yall haters and fake fans.
