yeah the promotion on this was out of control.

from the press conference, to dj's and artist's having the album cover on their twitter avi's. obv there gonna be in the green. but the promotional dollars spent def makes these numbers a loss.

To an outsider being hot simply means record sales but to an insider it's about branding, endorsements, touring, Forbes-ranking, features, and label maneuvering it's Chess to some & Checkers to others.


Try moving 215K first week which simultaneously having a compilation on the charts at 200K.


You need to try a different angle to downplay this success.
