Kendrick Lamar Tops Billboard 200 With Year’s Biggest Debut [PEEP]

kendrick-lamar-damn

Kendrick Lamar is making everyone say ‘DAMN.’ by scoring this year’s biggest debut on the Billboard 200 to date with a colossal 610,000 equivalent album units. The official numbers won’t officially be out till Monday, but the original projections have grown from 480,000-500,000.

When the numbers do hit, Kung-Fu Kenny will top Drake’s ‘More Life’, which set a high with 505,000 its first week and has dominated with record-breaking streams and other major accolades. That could change with K. Dot garnering more than half of his current sales from over 300-million streams.

This is Dot’s biggest, most-successful project to date even given all the success of his two last classics being the critically-acclaimed ‘To Pimp a Butterfly’ and his freshman album, ‘good kid, m.A.A.d. city’, which will apparently also reach the charts at No. 28 with 14,000 units sold since the ‘DAMN.’.

Following the release of ‘DAMN.’, there was talk and speculation of a new album on the horizon but Kendrick but that to rest by tweeting, “KenFolk. ThankU 4 the desire of always anticipating new music of my own. None is coming. My work will be in out future TDE dates tho.”
