Drake looks set to take another L in his rivalry with Kendrick Lamar thanks to the somewhat underwhelming commercial performance of his new album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U.
Drizzy’s first full-length release since suffering defeat in his rap battle with Kendrick last year, the project — a collaboration with PARTYNEXTDOOR — is on track to earn around 250,000 equivalent units in its first week, according to HITS Daily Double.
The album is expected debut at number one on the Billboard 200, earning the 6 God his 14th chart-topper — putting him level with JAY-Z and five behind record-holders The Beatles — and PARTY his first.
However, the project would also be the fifth lowest-selling of Drake’s career (based on first-week sales) behind So Far Gone (73,000), Care Package (109,000), Honestly Nevermind (204,000) and Dark Lane Demo Tapes (223,000).
As a consolation, Drizzy will likely dethrone Kendrick at the top of the Billboard 200 after GNX returned to number one earlier this week, thanks to a surge in streams after his Super Bowl halftime show and sales of physical copies.GNX will instead compete with Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet (Deluxe) for the number two spot with an estimated 147,000 units.
Despite its middling sales projections, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U did make an immediate splash on streaming.
On Spotify, it earned 56.6 million first-day streams, which is the second biggest debut of the year so far behind The Weeknd‘s Hurry Up Tomorrow.
