Official First Week Sales Of Wale's 'The Gifted' Album

MMG rapper, Wale has done a full week in stores with his third album, The Gifted, and it got him his first number one album. The album sold 158,000 copies first week. That's 10k less than his Ambition album sold in 2011, but it is still impressive for this climate in hip hop when some veterans are scared to drop albums. It means his fanbase has stuck with him. It's just generally good to see Rick Ross's army of rappers doing good.

First Week Sales Prediction Of Wale's 'The Gifted' Album

Wale released his third album (The Gifted) today, June 25th. Like I usually do when ever a rapper drops an album, i am going to try and predict what it would sell in the first week in stores. His last album, Ambition sold 165,000 copies first week. Wale's strength is his ability to make music both male and female enjoy. So, even if he doesn't have the biggest single out at the time, he would still sell decent numbers. Girls buy albums, but must guys illegally download CDs. So, this is a plus for him. I would predict he would sell between150-180k first week.

What do you guys think? You think he will sell lower? Or higher? Anyway, we will know by next week Wednesday, and we will have an idea of what it will sell by tomorrow, when it would have done a full day in stores. Check out the album tracklist below-

The lead single of the album, Bad, which features Tiara Thomas has been at the number one position on the Billboard Chart's "R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay" category for several weeks. This will definitely be a big release for Rick Ross's MMG Label when it drops in June. Wale's last album, Ambition (2011) did good commercially, selling over 500,000 copies in the U.S.
