Big Sean looks set to ‘Bounce Back’ to the top of the Billboard 200 with new album ‘I Decided.’
Released on Friday, the LP’s first week sales forecasts are in and it appears streaming is the wave that will carry it to the paramount position.
Full story below…
Hits Daily Double reports that the rapper’s fourth studio effort is set to land at #1 with the following units:
105,000-115,000 / Sales-Plus-Streaming
[50,000-60,000 / Pure Sales]
Interestingly, so strong is the MC’s performance on streaming platforms that as much as 50% of his final figure is likely to be via streams.
Beyond a series of well-received side projects with Jhene Aiko, Sean’s last solo album ‘Dark Sky Paradise’ opened with 173k SPS / 139k Pure Sales in 2015. It’s since gone on to sell 350k in total.
Viewed from this angle (and factoring in depleting sales industry wide), his current estimates put him on-par with his prior effort.
