Powered by an impressive opening week streaming performance, Lil Baby & Gunna’s “Drip Harder” will make a big splash on this week’s Billboard 200.
According to Hits Daily Double, the new release is expected to sell a modest 5-7K pure US copies this week. The inclusion of track streams and sales will nonetheless lift its total consumption figure to 115-125K.
That should be enough for a #4 or #5 bow on this week’s Billboard 200. twenty one pilots’ “Trench,” Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper’s “A Star Is Born,” and Lil Wayne’s “Tha Carter V” are tracking ahead, while Eric Church’s “Desperate Man” is pacing just behind 110-120K.
While each of those albums boasts a stronger presence on the iTunes sales chart, “Drip Harder” is making its mark on the Apple Music and Spotify streaming listings.
