Lizzo has been lighting up the singles charts with her viral smash ‘About Damn Time.’
Will its success translates to the album chart now that its housing LP ‘Special’ has arrived?
The first-week sales predictions are in and bring with it the answer.
Full story below…
Serving as the follow-up to 2019’s breakthrough set ‘Cuz I Love You’ (home to the likes of ‘Truth Hurts’ and ‘Good As Hell’), ‘Special’ also follows last year’s top 10 Cardi B collaboration ‘Rumors’ – which interestingly doesn’t appear on the project.
Still, fuelled by the seemingly unstoppable run of ‘About Damn Time’ and a variety of retail configurations, the album looks poised to open with solid numbers on the Billboard 200.
According to Hits Daily Double, ‘Special’ is poised to premiere with the following sales:
65,000-75,000
While it won’t be enough to best the reign of Bad Bunny’s ‘Un Verano Sin Ti’ (which looks set to sell another 100k), it does place Lizzo in contention for a high opening on the coveted count. Notably the highest of her career to date.

Pitiful numbers for someone of her stature. No pun intended. I expected no less than 100K.
What stature? Lizzo been a singles artist. Cuz I Love You era was more about longevity on the charts than groundbreaking sales
I expected more too i thought she was a bigger artist no pun intended.
I loved that song with her and Cardi she should have left it on there.
Good for her, now she has money to go buy herself some Big Macs to celebrate. Oh wait she’s a fat vegan 😉 I forgot!
Such a cruel comment well I shouldn’t expect much for someone with no class. Attack something else but going for that tells us you have nothing to say. Get off the internet and go read a book. Such a shame.
Something in the 100-125k range was what most were assuming. Maybe 50-60k of that pure sales. These numbers are okay. But for a star of her stature, they should be higher.
It was skyrocket down the charts as fast as her fat ass does to the flo, chile!
*it will
And y’all called Breezy a flop lmaoo her fat ass sold less with a huge hit.
From what I’ve previewed its definitely better than Drakes album 😂 Too bad it won’t be doing Drake numbers…
#FLOP. 😂
Beyonce’s new single is a massive FLOP, considering her so-called star power and the money invested. It peaked at #7, dropped to #9 last week and is stuck at #9 this week. She has been outperformed by LIzzo’s single, which moved to #2 last week and is still at #2 this week. Meanwhile, Miss BeYawnce Payola Credit-Thief/Streaming hoaxer, who still is unable to buy an Oscar for Best Original Song (Gaga WILL WIN her second Oscar for Top Gun 2 song) is too busy hating EGOT Jennifer Hudson and can no longer focus on her career, which is all about nostalgia and the Oldies circuit.
Lizzo might be fat, but Beyawnce disgusting fake b*** and hips make her look like a circus freak. She hates herself so she keeps having her body surgically altered.
Beyonce is set to sell 500-600k first week based on early predictions. This is 25 years in her career. Lizzo and her #1 single can’t even get her to sell 100k.
@BEYNATION…… PERIODT!!!
Lizzo’s music doesn’t have the crossover appeal for Urban radio. So her music doesn’t get much recognition there.
She is not The Weeknd, who doesn’t need Urban radio to sell albums. Summer Walker’s “Still Over It” sold more than “Special” despite having less POP exposure.
Now… that’s that Fake Pïss!
You know nothing.
Lizzo’s music is much bigger on POP radio compared to Summer Walker’s yet Lizzo’s album did fewer numbers.
Lizzo also has bigger Billboard hits than Summer Walker. These are FACTS!
Shhh 🤫. Why is it you’re always pressed about EVERYONE and EVERYTHING? Find you the nearest therapist and take a sabbatical from posting online. Those demons you’re harboring will only get worse as you age.
Nope.
Lizzo hasn’t made a connection nor built a solid fanbase that would support an actual album. She’s a bonafide singles artist.
Yup.
@Ivette
Exactly!
She doesn’t have a solid Fanbase w/ Urban or POP audiences. However the article did mention her numbers have improved since her last era.
She’s officially not Al album seller. Song of summer tho
Too bad because her album is actually good. Y’all missing out on a treat.
She could do with missing out on a few treats herself.
Damn big mama that’s it 💀She better pull out some stunts or show her big wide flat crater ass to get a couple thousand more sales….
Monica won’t even get a couple thousand sales. That new single certainly didn’t 💀
Friends debuted at #1 on the Bubbling Under the Bubbling Under Charts. You madd?????
Numbers aren’t surprising to me. Lizzo doesn’t fit into a box (no pun intended). She’s genre bending and hasn’t built a fanbase like others have said. She has casual fans who prefer her singles over anything. I know I haven’t been convinced to check out any of her projects but you better bet I’m gonna shake my ass when “Truth Hurts” comes on lol.
Flopped! She’s definitely more of ‘singles’ type of an artist for sure. Grammy Ward winning artist at her caliber with another viral hit can’t sell over 100K ….really?!? Hope she invest in a good dietician this go round cuz sympathy can only get you so far.
Lmao what a flop she needs to do something how the hell will she support her weight 👀😂😂😂
