Here Are the First Week Projections for Chance the Rapper’s ‘The Big Day’
Written by SOURCE on July 29, 2019
As expected, Chance the Rapper‘s debut album is on pace to debut at No. 1
According to Hits Daily Double, Chance’s The Big Day is expected to generate 90,000-100,000 in equivalent album units, 24,000-27,000 in pure album sales. This can be Chance’s first effort to debut at the No. 1 spot (his prior project, Coloring Book, was streaming only).
Although The Big Day is Chance’s fourth solo project, it’s the first one he’s labeling an album. The massive 77-minute effort had a wide breadth of features, including actor John Witherspoon, En Vogue, Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard, and Megan Thee Stallion. Chance has been teasing the album for months, but finally revealed its title, release date and album cover on The Tonight Show.
The Big Day has only a slight edge over NF‘s new album, The Search. Hits Daily Double estimates that NF will have 80,000-90,000 in total activity. Of this, The Search will move 55,000-60,000 in pure album sales.
Following Chance and NF is Of Monsters & Men’s Fever Dream, which is expected to amass 30,000-35,000 in total activity, 27,000-30,000 of this will be album sales. Coming in at the predicted fourth spot is Justin Moore’s Late Nights and Longnecks with 17,000-20,000 in pure album sales while generating 21,000-24,000 in total activity.
