related: Kendrick Lamar Sends Serious Message with ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’ Album Release Date
Kendrick Lamar ‘Mr. Morale Big Steppers’ first week sales prediction is examined, after music industry insider’s have made a major statement. In exactly two weeks, Kendrick Lamar will be releasing his long-awaited follow-up to DAMN.
Titled, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, Kenny has been seen sporadically over the last five years, with a few guest appearances. Since that time, the Compton kid has launched his official pgLang company, as well as confirming his business partnership with TDE coming to an end with this album.
Now, yesterday, a report surfaced from Hits Daily Double, that early expectations for Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers were currently forecasted at about 350K units for the first week. Some are in shock that this number is that high, considering how many artists have flopped and not sold close to that number in recent years.
That number is lower than what we would expect, considering the magnitude of the pending release in just 16 days. The reason why his projects are so high, is based on streaming activity through streaming services, google searching, social media engagements and YouTube activity.
This data is normally below what artists final numbers are revealed, before they debut no. 1 on the charts the week after. So, we’re anticipating Kendrick Lamar’s new album in two weeks to outsell every project in music this year, and possibly 2023.
Stay tuned for the likely worldwide tour announcement and tracklist reveal in the coming days.
