After seeing content from their highly anticipated sophomore album, ‘City on Lock,’ unlocked and leaked on the Web (as we reported here), City Girls rushed to release the Quality Control set to offset the damage.
Released with no warning on June 20, the 15-song set – which follows their 2018 breakthrough debut album ‘Girl Code’ – features guest appearances from the likes of Doja Cat, Yo Gotti, Lil Baby, and more and boasts beats from some of the most promising rising producers on the Atlanta scene.
Yet, despite shooting to the top 10 of iTunes a day after its surprise unveiling, the project quickly fell out of the real-time sales tally’s top 40. Even after releasing a hilarious visual to assist the LP’s lead single, ‘Jobs’ (click here to watch), buzz around the effort seemed to fade as quickly as it had risen.
Now, industry analysts have revealed their official sales projection for ‘City on Lock.’ Going to chart battle with only 6 days counted toward its inaugural tracking week, look inside to see how many units the album is set to shift over the time period:
City Girls’ ‘City on Lock’
First Week Sales Prediction (SPS): <21,000
First Week Predicted Billboard 200 Placement: #20-30
If the predicted sales and chart placement listed above rings true, it will come as the Girls’ highest first-week commercial performance to date.
A slow starter, their last studio effort – 2018’s ‘Girl Code’ – peaked at #55 on the Billboard 200 almost four months after its release.

Your thoughts?
I mean, it was a rush release due to the leak and had zero promo aside from Instagram, so I mean, these numbers are better than I expected. Jobs is still a bop though
They fake there own release. They are not serious artist they in it to make a buck. The work is very sloppy.
Who cares 🙄
Looks guys another negative post about female rappers PAID by Nicki herself! 🤡 Y’all stay on her payroll
Yall always bring The Queen of Rap up with any girl. This site posts negative s*** about Nicki too. FOH!
You stupid why would nicki care. These artist that don’t take pride in there work. They chasing the money so you are the 🤡
No hype for the album I actually forgot about them….. Should have released this months ago

Looks like the city wasn’t on lock, just the trailer park.
The album is just striaght up garbage. No wonder they leaked it on purpose.
Should have dropped this no later than a month after JT got out…

Anyways, stream Girls in the hood for real ratchet music.
