Meek Mill Motoring Toward His First No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart

Rapper Meek Mill is heading for his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. Industry forecasters suggest his latest release, Dreams Worth More Than Money, could move over 200,000 equivalent album units in the week ending July 5. That should easily place the set atop the Billboard 200 chart when its top 10 is unveiled on Wednesday, July 10.

Meek Mill’s last album, 2012’s Dreams and Nightmares, debuted and peaked in the No. 2 slot with 165,000 sold in its first week, according to Nielsen Music. The album's latest single -- "All Eyes on You," featuring girlfriend Nicki Minaj and Chris Brown -- debuts at No. 81 on the Billboard Hot 100 dated July 11.

Twitter is going crazy about this! The Barbs are are saying it's because of Nicki but then some pointed out TPP

iHype.

And his album has had NO charting songs.

Rappers stay outselling the Pop Girls with no radio support or digital single support.

Nicki isn't selling this album off her name.

Lyrical.

Damn! Good for him.

Hmm, I assumed it'd be pretty even with the last album.
Let's see how the actual sales are.

75% 2nd week drop for the album last time. So Taylor might be back ahead of him a week later.

But *wait* ain't the chart week supposed to be extended this week? What gives?
"Nielsen Music will process data incorporating an 11-day cycle [Monday, June 29, through Thursday, July 9]. That 11-day period will inform the Billboard charts that will post on Billboard.com on Tuesday, July 14." Looks like keith caulfield made a boo-boo.

Hi_im_new

Why are y'all so surprised? His last album didn't good first week too.

It's a shame urban rappers with minimum promotion are doing better than these pop artist. Imagine if labels promoted hiphop acts like how they do pop artist.
