Drake & Future's "WATTBA" Suffers 81% Drop In Album Sales
Alive" goes platinum.
After selling 334,000 pure albums in week one,
Drake and Future's WATTBA reportedly sold
65,000 albums in week 2, an 81% decline in
sales. Looks like it's gonna be a while before it
goes platinum...
While it is typical for albums to experience
steep drop offs in week two
sales, WATTBA's drop off ranks among the
most precipitous in recent rap history. Here are
some other albums that dropped off extra hard
week two:
Mac Miller’s Blue Slide Park (83% – 144,000 to
25,000)
Kanye West’s Yeezus (80% – 327,000 to
65,000)
Jay Z’s Kingdom Come (79% – 680,000 to
140,000)
Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted
Fantasy (78% – 496,000 to 108,000).
WATTBA clocked in at number two in the
charts behind Fetty Wap , and it is still doing
well in the streaming department. Drake
brought out Future during his raucous
headlining set at Austin City Limits over the
weekend, they're not about to let a precipitous
drop in album sales stop them from enjoying
the ride.
