@AkademiksTV I see your point but also thinking too deep. His songs perform extremely well in the US market so regardless if you lyrically understand his lyrics. He is still loved in the US. And outsells (in the US) more than most English speaking artists. Thoughts ?
JACKBOYS & @trvisXX’s JACKBOYS 2 (Cactus Jack/Epic) will debut at #1 on Friday’s HITS Top 50 with projected first-week activity north of 250k. The bulk of that number, currently projected at 188k, is driven by D2C merch boxes. J2 will unseat the year’s current leader, @MorganWallen’s I’m the Problem (Big Loud/Mercury/Republic), which has spent the last two months in the top spot.
@justinbieber’s surprise drop, SWAG (Def Jam), will finish in the runner-up spot, with most of its first-week total coming from streams. SWAG is projected to reach 200m first-week streams, making it the most-streamed album of the week.
Meanwhile, Clipse, @PUSHA_T & Malice's Let God Sort ’Em Out (Roc Nation) is tracking to a Top 5 debut with 90k in total activity and @giveon's BELOVED (Not So Fast/Epic) heads for a Top 10 opening.
1⃣ JACKBOYS & Travis Scott (253k)
2⃣ Justin Bieber (165k)
3⃣ Morgan Wallen (150.4k)
4⃣ Clipse (90k)
5⃣ Kpop Demon Hunters (85k)

Justin Bieber's 'SWAG' aiming for 175K units first week in the US (via @HITSDD).
This would be enough for #1 on the Billboard 200 in previous week; other releases expected, stay tuned.
@gyaigyimii Dude there’s no evidence for any of that. With your logic I could also argue the black and white fur is the same color as Oreos! Representing drakes love Cookies! 🍪
