The Projected First Week Sales Of Rod Wave’s “Beautiful Mind” & Megan Thee Stallion’s “Traumazine” Album

Rod Wave is expected to debut at top of Billboard Charts next week.

This week, multiple albums were released and the projected first week numbers for Rod Wave and Megan Thee Stallion are here. Rod Wave finally released his fourth studio album “Beautiful Mind”, a follow-up to his last year’s “SoulFly”.

Just like his previous project, the St. Petersburg, Florida native is projected to earn another number 1 on US Billboard charts. The album is expected to move around 120-140k equivalent units in the first week, which will get him an easy top spot on Billboard 200. Last year, “SoulFly“ topped the US Billboard 200 with 130,000 album-equivalent units.

Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion is looking at a top 10 spot on US Billboard as her album “Traumazine” is projected to move 40-50K equivalent units in the first week. The WAP hitmaker is yet to receive a #1 debut album on US Billboard as her previous effort “Good News” debuted at number 2 in 2020 with 100,000 album-equivalent units in its first week.
