First Week Sales: Fetty Wap’s Self-Titled Debut Album

FINAL UPDATE: Earlier today, we reported that hip-hop is the most streamed genre in the world and Fetty Wap’s performance on the charts serves as the perfect example. Fetty Wap’s self-titled debut album pushed only 74,609 pure units, occupying spot #3 on HDD’s album sales chart, but topped the Sales Plus Streaming chart with 125,609 units. Drake and Future’s What A Time To Be Alive boasted similar performance – spot #4 on the first chart with 65,513 pure units, and spot #2 on the second one with 102,549 units. Bryson Tiller’s TRAPSOUL has pushed 22,453 units (30,453 including streams), Big Grams’s self-titled album – 9,081 units (10,081 including streams), and Mac Miller’s GO:OD AM – at #23 with 18,916 units (27,761 including streams). Peep the top 5 on both charts at the foot of the article.HDD updated the Building Album Sales chart. At 71%, Fetty Wap’s self-titled debut album has pushed 49,477 units. Unfortunately, the gap between the New Jersey native’s LP and the runner-up, George Strait’s Cold Beer Conversation (67,414), has grown, and Fetty Wap will most probably retain spot #3. Meanwhile, Drake and Future’s What A Time To Be Alive sits at #5 with 46,046 units, Bryson Tiller’s TRAPSOUL – at #6 with 20,233, Big Grams’s self-titled album – at #17 with 5,981 units, and Mac Miller’s GO:OD AM – at #23 with 4,886 units. Sep 30th, 2015 Fetty Wap’s self-titled debut album is expected to push somewhere between 70-75k units (110-115k including streams) in its first week out. With HDD’s Building Album Sales chart currently at 57%, we can monitor its performance on the list in advance.

For now, Fetty Wap has pushed 43,212 pure units, claiming spot #3. The chart is topped by Don Henley’s Cass County (46,767 units) and the runner-up is George Strait’s Cold Beer Conversation (45,738). As you can see, the numbers are pretty close and there is a battle for the pole position. Meanwhile, Drake and Future’s What A Time To Be Alive, which topped the charts last week, occupies spot #5 with 37,845 units, while Mac Miller’s GO:OD AM scores 3,526 units thus far. The debutants, Bryson Tiller’s TRAPSOUL and Big Grams’ self-titled LP, are boasting 18,543 and 5,574 units, respectively. We’ll revise the article as soon as HDD updates the chart.
