Even if it should debut with quite a nice number, most Hip Hop albums fall pretty fast in the last couple of month.
Perhaps Drake and Nicki Minaj are exceptions but it seems like a streak of hits can't make those albums climb and just in best case, make them stay stable.

So I doubt the power of the urban because Wale, Big Sean or J Cole debuted with relatively high numbers but end with relatively low totals and correspondingly chart run...

iTunes US:
#5 (-3) So Good
#129 (-3) Strange Clouds

iTunes Canada:
#13 (-2) So Good

It's really not that bad :wink: When it hit #2 on US iTunes Wednesday US time i expected it to fall the following day, so that it hold on at #2 for a few more days is pretty great :) Hopefully this is a big smash on Pop radio soon, so he can get a big Hot 100 song with this like it's intented to :wink:

Digital Songs:
#6 So Good

Hot 100:
#11 (NEW) So Good

Of course it's very good, but i don't like #11 debuts! :oops: :lol: It reminds me of Mariah's Obsessed - Thank god that song reached top 10 after some time! :lol: Hopefully So Good will get there aswell! :wink: Though i think this will be a big pop hit, so it should not be a problem! :wink:

He needs to focus all his energy into 'So Good', it can be the international hit he needs.

Absolutely! It's best single this era so far.
I'm worry about the album tbh. It's already the 3rd single, but there are still 2 months to album release :-?

A radio hit is exactly what he needs for a smash album, So Good will do that it seems! :D

I can see it reach 80M AI in mid April, such a spring song... don't you agree?

Strange clouds and So good are nice catchy songs but I was hoping for more songs like Airplanes from this era :( :(

I agree. He's made a huge change stylistically this era and I'm not sure if its paying off. Yes, the songs are good but I don't think they'll have the breakthrough like Airplanes or Nothin' On You.

Strange Clouds was edgier, and Play The Guitar was subpar. So Good needs to maintain sales and/or airplay by the time the album comes out because we're three singles deep and the album is some way off.

Enjoying these airplay updates, but I won't be comfortable until it hits 40 mil.
