The first week was 480k so total sales is 700k



Also it isnt really dropping that fast thats about the same percentage most albums drop tbh

^Also keep in mind many of the big albums this year had tour bundles and better merch bundles (Astroworld/Scorpion/Queen) (Astroworld sold a fuck ton of merch)

Lol what, those are good numbers.

I think it has to do with the era of music we are in. Majority of projects are forgotten a week later. I think for Lil Wayne fans it means a tremendous amount, but for normal listeners they heard it and it didn’t sound like the new generation “migos” flow type music so it came and went. Real hip hop heads loving it tho which is hilarious to me cuz they ones who use to hate Lil Wayne lol

Also uproar video hit a million views released yesterday but Travis Scott and Drake dropped a video today so that’s getting a lot of attention. Imo uproar is a very specific sound NY aswell, again the new generation don’t fw it as much. The question is what song on C5 has a universal sound for everybody? I feel like that was the biggest thing missing from C5, no John, How to Love, A Millie, Lollipop type singles.

Took the words out my mouth, now adays attention span is bad - it’s on to the next unfortunately -

I swear this forum is so ignorant when it comes to numbers.

Uproar is Number 80 on Overall AI in only two weeks.
On Rhythmic radio it's #14 in two weeks with the spin increase bullet has it going up at a really incredible rate.
On Urban radio it's #18 with the same thing as above.
#22 on R&B/Hip-Hop airplay chart last week, going to go up again on Tuesday.

#43 on iTunes charts, which is decent compared to other top hits.
Has not left the top 20 on Apple Music since the first week it came out, even with the continuous new releases once the charts stabilize it always finds itself back in the top 15 at the minimum.

Only place it's falling flat is Spotify and that's because Spotify doesn't have it on any of the rap playlists so it's whatever there it hasn't fallen off the charts completely so I guess that's that at least.

And lastly they video was low budget and garbage and was released for the extra streams only so yea it flopped, should've actually put some effort in it maybe it'd do better.

Also, Wayne's team should've done an actual good video for Mona Lisa before Uproar's trash video as it's still the most streamed song but I guess they wanted more streams for Uproar now to coincide with the radio gains. Either Uproar will be a grower and climb the charts or it'll climb again to like 15 with the good airplay and decent streams it's getting then fall.


As for album sales they speak for themselves at 700k in 3 weeks, for comparison Em's album came out Aug 31 and is at 864k now (7 weeks). Wayne is projected to be top 5 again in sales this week so probably around 70k again. Idk how those numbers mean the album came and went, but I'm not y'all.
