This album has been making noise for a week now since it’s controversial release where TDE’s CEO blamed Interscope for early release without consulting them at all (click here to see why we think it was planned). It was on and off of iTunes multiple times so there was some confusion when the first week sales projections were released about they would be tallied.
The numbers are now in and HDD reports that To Pimp A Butterfly sold 318,988 copies in its first week with the sales plus streaming numbers still to be announced. What do you think?
UPDATE: Including streaming, the album sold 355,372 copies.
