Not bad for Kendrick

Not you snatched both of the chart threads this week

Kendrick!!

Lol

Kendrick might not go gold in 2 weeks? I'm a bit underwhelmed but he'll probably have great longevity based on word-of-mouth.

Well deserved!

OMG where's Rebel Heart? It is gonna sell less than 20k?

They're predicting only new entries and sis, we all know that RH will do 10k tops this week

I'm shocked at James' numbers tbh. He's still yet to take off in the US.

I'm predicting 40k Sales and 55k SPS for Empire this week

Amazing for Kendrick

Actually pretty good numbers for James Bay, I mean, he's unknown in the US

How many copies sold George Ezra in its first week in the States?

Two week's at no 1, Kendrick

Anotha T5 week for Goddess Swift?

She in danger, gurl.

Yes, Empire

After a dry spell in 2014, hip hop is WINNING.

I'm really impressed by Empire tbh. With no episode this week, they're still slaying and the drop isn't even that big
