After tons of delays due to unforeseen circumstances, Meek Mill finally released his highly anticipated sophomore effort this week, Dreams Worth More Than Money.

Released on Sunday night as opposed to the traditional Tuesday (so as to capitalize off his appearance at the 2015 BET Awards), Meek actually gave himself a leg up on those coveted first-week sales, allowing an additional day worth of sales to be calculated. For those not in-the-know, Nielsen Soundscan tracks sales for each week from Monday to Sunday. Since albums traditionally release on Tuesdays (though that’s changing next week and will now become Fridays,) this means that the first-week sales that we always hear about are actually only 6 days worth, not 7.

Since Meek has this past Monday to incorporate, he gets the full 7…and it’s going to pay off! (I’m not sure the additional day made a difference in how great his numbers will be, but nonetheless…) Early sales projections are forecasting a number 1 debut with around 200k. His previous album, 2012’s Dreams & Nightmares, debuted at number 2 with 165k. Go ‘head, Meek!

We will have the official number when the charts are released next Wednesday.
