Megan Thee Stallion's "Suga" EP makes her the first female rapper to place top 10 on Billboard's 200 with multiple non-album projects. "Suga" sold 44K (4K PURE/9% of sales) in the first week. This makes "Suga" Megan's highest debut to date, and it represents an astounding 63% increase from her label supported project, "Fever." This was all accomplished without a lead hit single and no pre-release promo.
"Suga" also debuted at #9 on Rolling Stone's Top 200 Albums Charts. The top songs on "Suga" are "Captain Hook," "B.I.T.C.H.," "Savage." Congratulations to Megan Thee Stallion!
* Megan exceeded sales projections of 30K-40K
KEEP STREAMING AND BUYING. IT'S NOT ABOUT FIRST WEEK SALES, IT'S ABOUT BEING CONSISTENT.
UPDATE:
I see some publications saying she sold 41K. This would be a 52% increase from Fever. She went up, that's the important point. However, I am getting my data from HITS Daily Double.

@J La, I saw someone comparing her numbers to Eminem🙄. No, female rapper ever got the push that that Ole Girl got. Hell, Ole Girl may not get that push again. Ole Girl is more of a social media personality than a rapper right now.
They don’t wanna say that it would appear she’s moving & growing the right way. See this is why I think ole girl & her bots did absolutely nothing for the game! If they compared her to actual rappers organic come ups it would make more sense to the dense! I saw a couple posts comparing her numbers to CB and my eyes tolled down the back of my spine!
These publications/blogs trying so hard to make Megan's sales look bad without any supporting data. An artist doing over 50% better than their last project is more than good, it's AH-MAZING!
Megan put out a partial project knowing she would faceoff with known acts like Jhene Aiko and Lil Uzi. Obviously, if she had put out her album when she wanted, it probably wouldn't be going against known big acts. Plus, her label/blogs were trying to sabotage her release. These bloggers/publications are clowns. That's why I have no love for them even though I blog. Fck those clowns.
This is also why artists do everything they can including selling fake tour passes, energy drinks, etc in order to get that…
She's fucking the charts up, and I'm proud of her.
