Numbers…or therefore lack of. Tunechi & 2 Chainz collaborative album ColleGrove is reportedly not projected to do so hot in it’s first week on the charts. While Kendrick Lamar’s surprise unfinished album, untitled unmastered. fares pretty well compared to it’s hip-hop competitor. Hit the jump for the final estimated tallies.

According to HDD, Kendrick Lamar (TDE/Interscope) will do 140-150k albums, 175-185k SPS and 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne (Def Jam) will push out 35-45k, 55-65k SPS.
Not great for any artists considering their caliber. Kendrick’s grammy award winning last album ‘To Pimp A Butterfly’ did 350,000 first week so this again is a big drop despite the album’s unfinished and unmastered persona.
For Wayne & Chainz there was not much promotion done on the album, just word of mouth. That could have played a big factor. We’ll be back with the first week sales.
