Kanye West & Kid Cudi’s “Kids See Ghosts” Album Pacing For 55-60K US Sales, 100-110K US Units

A look at how “Kids See Ghosts” will perform during its first week in the market.

Early projections have emerged for Kanye West and Kid Cudi’s joint “Kids See Ghosts” project.

According to Hits Daily Double, the seven-track album is expected to sell about 55-60,000 pure US copies this week. The inclusion of TEA (track sales/10) and SEA (track streams/1500) should yield a consumption tally in the 100-110,000 range.

Due to the unconventional release, the projections may be subject to greater than usual adjustment in the coming days.

The album does not, however, appear to have a shot at #1 on this week’s album charts. Dave Matthews Band’s “Come Tomorrow” is expected to win the race with well over 200,000 sales and units.

“Kids See Ghosts” is also expected to trail Dierks Bentley’s “The Mountain” on the pure sales front. A #2 debut on the Billboard 200 consumption chart is still possible.

“Kids See Ghosts” is the second consecutive West album to enter the market. West’s “ye,” which debuted last Friday, was this past week’s best-selling and most-consumed album.
