The first week numbers are beginning to come in for Wale’s critically acclaimed Sophomore album Amibiton. According to HITS Daily, he is slated to hit the charts with a strong 170-190k units. Thats way up from his Interscope debut that only did 28k first week.
Wale, the D.C.-based hip-hop artist who was dropped from Interscope after his 2009 debut, Attention Deficit, and signed to rapper Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group imprint at WB, turns out to be the real surprise. First-week estimates from those retailers around the country who haven’t shut down and reopened as Herman Cain campaign headquarters, peg his sophomore album Ambition, to sell between 170-190k, which puts him in the hunt for a red-hot November debut.
