Yo, what’s up, guys! It’s your boy back again with another story, and trust me, this one’s a doozy. So, I’ve been digging into this whole music sales thing, and I stumbled upon some crazy numbers about this artist, Destroy Lonely. I started to follow his music last year, and it’s cool.
I decided to check out what the deal was with his first-week sales. I mean, who doesn’t love a good success story, right? So, I hit up the internet, just browsing through, and I found all sorts of conflicting info. It was a mess, to be honest.
First, I saw this one site, saying he sold 37.5K in the first week, and I was like, “Damn, that’s impressive!” It was his first top 10 album, according to them. But then, I went over to another place, some HDD site, and they had him at 25.5K for his first album If Looks Could Kill. Lower than what his 2023 debut did which is 29k and they didn’t even have him in the top 20. Talk about a letdown, right?
I kept digging because something didn’t seem right. I checked out another source, they said his album “LOVE LASTS FOREVER” hit No. 10 on the Billboard 200 and sold 35K. That’s more like it! This was way different from what the other places were saying.
- Some site: 37.5K first week, first top 10 album.
- HDD: 25.5K for If Looks Could Kill, not in top 20.
- Another source: “LOVE LASTS FOREVER” No. 10 on Billboard, 35K sales.
Here’s what I found:
Man, it was like trying to put together a puzzle with missing pieces. But you know what? I was determined to get to the bottom of it. I spent hours, just going through different websites, comparing numbers, trying to make sense of it all.
At the end of the day, it looks like Destroy Lonely really did hit the top 10, even if those initial numbers were all over the place. And 35K? That’s still huge! It just goes to show, you can’t always trust the first thing you read online. You gotta do your own research and figure things out for yourself.
Anyway, that’s my little adventure in the world of music sales. Hope you guys found it interesting. Stay tuned for more, and remember, always keep it real! Peace out!
