The numbers are in for Kendrick Lamar.
The TDE/Aftermath/Interscope rapper moved a total of 318k units sold of his To Pimp a Butterfly to top the charts. His SPS (Sales Plus Streaming) numbers were pushed up to 355k for the first week, according to Hits Daily Double.
The streaming numbers are strong, as fans listened to To Pimp a Butterfly 9.6 million times on Spotify. He set the record for the most worldwide streams in a day for a new album.
Kendrick’s album leaked early and Top Dawg’s CEO Anthony Tiffith blamed Interscope for the alleged error.
