So after all the hoopla surrounding Young Thug’s Barter 6, the Rich Gang rapper didn’t crack the top-10.
According to HITS Daily Double, which gives approximate sales based on data from a limited number of retailers, Thugger’s project came in at No. 21 with 19,568 sold. Of course Barter 6 isn’t Thug’s official debut. That will hit shelves on Aug. 28.
Elsewhere on the chart, the soundtrack for Furious 7 fell from No. 1 to No. 2 with 79,000 sold, holding strong thanks to the strength of Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again” which is the No. 1 song on the Hot 100. Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late remains in the top-10, Kendrick’s To Pimp a Butterfly slipped to No. 16 and Wale’s The Album About Nothing comes in at No. 29.
