85k and and a huge smash? Not gonna say anything, it's decent, if he sells less then he is gonna do bad

He's not really that big of an artist lol. 85k is fine for him.

So... after being involved in two smash hits BL, Happy and one big hit Get Lucky getting all these Grammys, an Oscar nom and performance during Oscars that JUST happened, Pharrell cannot even convince 100k people to buy his solo work? I know, I know... he's producer for the most part, but...

What depressing week overall.... I have no words for Ashanti and her dreadful decline

[KyKy]

Why is everyone so shocked at Pharell. He was never a huge solo artist I think those numbers are amazing for him

Pharrell deserves that #1 tbh

But so does Rick Ross. Their albums are both great in their respective genres.

[Cherry Noir]

Maybe Pharrell has now solidified himself as a singles artist

Most of our pop girls can't have both

Pharrell's last album started with 142k.
Now you may say "but sales are down since then."

But a certain other artist debuted that year with 40k and her album this year will be considered a disappointment if it doesn't start with a million.

And last time he didn't have a #1 nor top 10 single.

But he had a Hip-Hop album not an ode to the 70s lol.

Honestly i was expecting much more for Pharrell. 85K is disappointed.

Exactly. ATRL is full of young pop lovers who get caught up in the hype...so last year was the first time half of these kids heard of him and they just assumed that he was the Biggest thing to ever happen when the truth is he's been in the game for decades and never was an album seller solo or with his band lol. His TRUE fanbase (not hop-ons) are the "Others". The kids that are the nerds, the different kids. N*E*R*D has a cult following and I hope it stays that way.

Poor Ashanti

Ashanti. The struggle is real

OMG

[ForeverNow90]

Unacceptable numbers for Pharrell

[Ben.M.]

pharell could still sell in the long run if he's singles sell deccently

[fortheloveofmusic]

Ashanti's numbers aren't even that bad for an album that had 200 push backs and no major label support

She could've had a Nelly Furtado-sized dilemma

[Яeo.]

A year ago I thought Pharrell would do 1M when he finally releases an album (following Get Lucky & Blurred Lines).

[iamvladd]

At least CMA won't affect Happy's sales this week that much.

[trinafan92]

Clueless.....

These are great number for Pharrell. They are not that different from his numbers with N.E.R.D or The Neptunes..
