Fans have been looking forward to Megan Thee Stallion‘s debut album first week sales. Well, it’s finally here and it’s a great one although, she failed to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 chart.

The Houston rapper released her debut studio album ‘Good News’ last week and it was met with mixed reactions.

Many felt she’s overrated while others are convinced she’s deserving of the hip-hop artist of the year award she snatched at the BET Hip Hop Awards.

Initially, Megan was projected to pull in 92k, with 10k of which coming from traditional sales. The projection prompted Akademiks to shade her, insinuating that she’s over-hyped.

The 17 track project moved a total of 100,500 equivalent album units in the United States during its first seven days available. Of that total, 82,500 are sales comprised from streaming, making Good News the most-streamed album of the week.

It fell short of BTS’ Be, which sold a massive 242,000 equivalent album units in the U.S.

Megan’s ‘Good News’ album features appearances from DaBaby, City Girls, Lil Durk, SZA, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Young Thug, Popcaan, and even, Beyoncé.
