It seems not even minor controversies are enough to hold ‘Voodoo’ maestro Frank Ocean from the US Top Ten this week.
Indeed, in what can only come as good news to both he and his team over at Def Jam, his debut album ‘Channel Orange‘ is set to debut on the Billboard 2000with record breaking sales- following its impromptu release earlier this week.
Details below…
Next week, ‘Orange’ is set to debut with sales of 110-125,000 units, securing the star a Top Ten position.
While this figure may not seem all that impressive at face value, it’s important to note that it will sell this much on digital outlets alone, with physical copies of the LP only hitting stores in the coming week.
This, a positive indicator as to how the project will sell once fans can purchase it at both physical and digital outlets.
Not to mention Ocean’s potency as a commercial act- giving the likes of Chris Brown and Usher a run for the chart positions without the luxuries afforded to acts who release their material to all outlets simultaneously.
