    I mean, d---.

    It was pretty obvious Meek Mill was going to take the No. 1 spot of the Billboard 200, because he didn't have much competition outside of Miguel and... Tyga???? Sorry for even trying to joke.

    Meek Mill officially sold 246,000 copies of Dreams Worth More Than Money.

    Read that back.

    TWO-HUNDRED FORTY-SIX THOUSAND.

    According to Billboard, 215,000 of those are traditional sales, and the rest are from streams of the album.

    This isn't a post critiquing his work, but no matter how good or not-so-good you think Meek's new album is, his fans showed up. His debut album, Dreams & Nightmares, debuted selling 165,000, so it proves his fans stuck with him, in addition to gaining more, throughout his time in jail. Good for him.

    Miguel followed up at No. 2 selling 48,000 of Wildheart, and Tyga sold who really cares about how much Tyga sold of the album no one really cares about.

    Anyway, congratulations to Meek Mill, and here's to many more albums like this, I'm sure. *toasts*

    Find it hard to believe he has that big of a loyal fan base.

    Almost anyone who listens to rap in Philly loves Meek. I am surprised he sold that many but he is very loved out here.

    Those are pretty solid first week numbers. Don't think the album will go platinum or anything, but possibly gold in a few months.

    I meant on this forum! Doesn't seem like there's a lot of discussion around it for being #1 on the Billboard 200.

    This forum in general has a pretty limited and trash music taste tbh. A part from a few users.
