Drake drops are often an event and the release of the superstar’s newest album ‘For All The Dogs’ is no different.
Uncaged on October 6 (two weeks after it was initially set to arrive), the hotly anticipated LP brought with it collaborations with the likes of SZA, J. Cole, and Sexyy Red.
Clocking in at 23 tracks, the project has also been magnetizing headlines thanks to lyrics folk are attaching to many – including the rapper’s former flame Rihanna.
All, it would appear, has helped facilitate a seismic swirl of buzz around the album.
Now, after a day on sale, the first-week sales forecast is here.
Find out how loud the numbers are barking below…
According to Hits Daily Double, ‘For All The Dogs’ is eying a high debut with the following numbers:
400,000-450,000
As is oft the case with Drizzy, streaming unquestionably makes up the lion’s share of his sales pie this go-round.
And it’s of note that – as of writing – there are no other formats of the LP available beyond streaming and digital downloads. Even Drake’s official store only points to the streamable edition of ‘Dogs.’
The forecasted sum will undoubtedly see the LP leap in at #1 on the Billboard 200 and the numbers represent a marked increase from the polarizing Dance-inspired ‘Honestly, Nevermind’ – which premiered with 204,000 in 2022.
That said, should the current projections come to fruition, ‘Dogs’ will open with less of a bite than 2021’s ‘Certified Lover Boy,’ which debuted with 613,000 in 2021.
News of the numbers comes as Drake revealed that he’ll be taking a break from music-making for health reasons.
