Kendrick Lamar’s surprise album ‘GNX’ poised for a huge Billboard 200 debut
Kendrick Lamar’s latest surprise album GNX is expected to have a big first week on Billboard 200 after its stealth release last week.
HITS Daily Double predicts that the album containing 12 tracks will garner 291,000 equivalent album units for the week it is released including walking sales of over 30,000.
This will make GNX a number-one debut on next week’s chart, knocking off Wicked, which opens the week with more than 100,000 units.
Being the first-ever release under Kendrick’s name after exiting those Top Dawg Entertainment confines, GNX would soundly become his sixth consecutive number-one album, following To Pimp a Butterfly, untitled unmastered, DAMN, Black Panther: The Album, and Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers.
