Frank Ocean's 'Blonde' Bows at No. 1 on Billboard 200 With Third-Largest Debut of 2016

Quote:

Frank Ocean earns his first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with the arrival of Blonde. The set, which was released on Aug. 20, bows atop the list with 276,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending Aug. 25, according to Nielsen Music.

Of Blonde’s start of 276,000 units, 232,000 were in traditional album sales, while the rest were SEA (44,000 units).

Only two albums started bigger than Blonde in 2016: Drake’s Views (1.04 million units earned in its debut frame) and Beyonce’s Lemonade (653,000). Blonde also logs the third-biggest sales start -- behind, again, just Views (852,000 copies sold in its first week) and Lemonade (485,000).

The songs on the Blonde album generated 65.4 million streams during the week. It was the second-most streamed album on the chart, behind only Drake’s Views, with 67.5 million streams.

Your hate is unnecessary. The album is great and that's just your mediocre opinion.

What exactly were you expecting; Yes Frank is praised by the critics and his industry peers, however this doesn't translate as much to the GP (casual music lovers that wouldn't have the patience to decipher and analyze Frank's aesthetic let alone breakdown the complex musicianship shown in this Album..not to mention him dropping off the face of the earth with no promo or buildup to this album. Any hype generated came directly from fans or the media--the GP is pretty much indifferent and his following isn't as big as other urban music artists: Kendrick, Drake, Nicki, J. Cole, Bey, Rihanna etc ..these numbers are impressive the the audience he caters to.
