Playboi Carti’s New Album First-Week Sales Projections—Will It Dominate the Charts?

Playboi Carti gave a lot of tracks off of his new album “MUSIC” their live debut at his Rolling Loud Los Angeles headlining set this weekend.

Playboi Carti has been a fan favorite MC for almost a decade now, although his legacy might be more as a superstar when it’s all said and done. His new album MUSIC is performing very well, dominating various streaming charts and much of the online hip-hop discourse right now. What’s more is that this long-awaited new release might lead to the Atlanta creative’s biggest debut of his career thus far. According to NFR Podcast, early projections indicate MUSIC will debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with around 250K album-equivalent units sold in its first week on the market.

Of course, this could change a lot over the next few days before the count stops, but either way, Playboi Carti’s new album MUSIC feels like it can go in any direction and still make massive ways. At the same time, though, the mythical nature and grueling wait associated with this LP also meant that the final product couldn’t possibly surpass expectations, change them, or offer something entirely new. Still, that doesn’t mean that he didn’t try, as this record contains some of Carti’s most odd performances and sonic presentations yet.

Elsewhere, fans who attended Rolling Loud Los Angeles this weekend got to see Playboi Carti give many MUSIC tracks their live debut. Even Kai Cenat and Young Dabo pulled up and even made their way onstage, getting a chance to meet none other than The Weeknd. Abel Tesfaye popped out to join his “Popular” collaborator to perform their two other collabs, MUSIC‘s “RATHER LIE” and Hurry Up Tomorrow‘s “Timeless.” It was a great moment not just for fans everywhere, but for the streaming community in particular that built a lot of hype for this new album.

Still, if you thought that MUSIC avoided controversy upon release, think again. Playboi Carti allegedly denied using AI on it after many fans suspected that two tracks in particular on the new record, “RATHER LIE” and “FINE S**T,” used artificial intelligence technology to replicate Carti’s voice. It wasn’t the first time that he faced accusations like these, nor will it likely be the last. But people are bumping the album heavily regardless, and perhaps should speak with their streams if they don’t approve of this alleged approach.

Kim Soo Hyun’s Agency Breaks Silence on Lee Jin Ho Rumors – Here’s the Truth!

Kim Soo Hyun’s agency Gold Medalist has released a statement claiming the man in the 2017 picture at Kim Sae Ron’s apartment isn’t actually him. In a lengthy statement, Kim Soo Hyun’s agency Gold Medalist has rebutted Kim Sae Ron’s family’s claims and is instead accusing them of spreading false information to the public. The bereaved family has been making many false claims about our agency and Kim Soo Hyun. For example, they have claimed that no visit was made on our side to the deceased’s funeral. However, we left a condolence wreath, we visited the funeral twice on February 17 and February 19, and we also met with the bereaved family in person to offer our condolences and left condolence money. Garo Sero Institute referred to the whistleblower who leaked Kim Soo Hyun’s private life as “Kim Sae Ron’s aunt.” However, other media reports have stated that the whistleblower is not actually her biological aunt. During the press conference, the bereaved family stated, “The deceased’s mother does not have a married sister (aka an aunt). Instead, the aunt who was recently interviewed is someone like a mother to Sae Ron, even more than her real mother.” They described her as “closer than a real aunt.” In the media, when someone is called an “aunt,” it generally refers to the mother’s sister. Whether the whistleblower is an actual relative or simply a close acquaintance will significantly impact public trust in the information shared through the media. However, during the press conference, the bereaved family was unclear about whether the whistleblower is truly a relative or just someone close to the family. Recently, several industry insiders have informed us that the whistleblower in question is actually the mother of a different actor. The most important aspect of a whistleblower’s report is whether the information is true, not the identity of the whistleblower. We are fully aware of this. However, we are bringing up the whistleblower’s identity because the bereaved family stated in their press conference that “targeting a family member is a big mistake.” Yet they also shared private photos of Kim Soo Hyun without his consent. These photos, which were previously revealed in a broadcast featuring Kim Sae Ron, were taken in a home she moved into after becoming an adult. They have no connection to the minor timeline of the alleged relationship that the bereaved family claims. Despite this, the bereaved family justified their actions under the guise of “targeting a family member is a serious mistake” and unlawfully disclosed Kim Soo Hyun’s private life. Garo Sero Institute further fueled the situation by repeatedly teasing the release of new photos and exaggerating the context of them with their provocative language. The bereaved family has cited the media coverage of the deceased’s private life as one of the reasons behind her passing. If that is the case, we must ask, what exactly are the bereaved family and Garo Sero Institute doing to Kim Soo Hyun now then? Garo Sero Institute once again claimed on YouTube that Kim Soo Hyun dated Kim Sae Ron when she was a minor, using a photo posted on June 23, 2017, by a fan SNS account for Kim Sae Ron as evidence. However, the person in the photo is not Kim Soo Hyun, but someone else. They argued that the outfit worn by the person in the photo resembles a product Kim Soo Hyun modeled for. However, the jacket in the photo and the one Kim Soo Hyun advertised are from different brands. Even though the photo posted became a hot topic, we did not feel the need to respond to groundless suspicions coming from an image where the person’s face isn’t even recognizable. However, the bereaved family is now using this faceless photo as their evidence to claim that Kim Soo Hyun frequently visited the apartment where Kim Sae Ron lived with her family when she was a minor and that they secretly met when her family was not home. Kim Soo Hyun has never been to the apartment where Garo Sero Institute visited, pointing at a specific elevator and saying, “this is the one.” The only people who went there were Garo Sero Institute, not Kim Soo Hyun. The bereaved family unlawfully disclosed Kim Soo Hyun’s private life simply because the term “closer than a biological aunt” was mentioned. They also had never previously claimed that Kim Soo Hyun frequently visited Kim Sae Ron’s family home when she was a minor or that they secretly met up there. But as soon as that photo gained attention, they suddenly began making these allegations. We urge you to stop creating baseless allegations, using a single unrelated photo or an arbitrary online post to distort the truth and manipulate the narrative. As netizens have been digging for the truth regarding Kim Soo Hyun’s relationship with Kim Sae Ron, they found a series of pictures from an alleged sasaeng account of hers.
