Btw this is week two for Juice WRLD's album. It sold over 500,000 copies it's first week. That's what I was hoping for the DCX.

Those days of selling 500,000 albums are over for most artists lol. Juice Wrld was aided by album bundles (Any merch purchased came with a free copy of the album, counting as a sale). The Chicks didn’t do that and with no tour to support the album, these sales do not surprise me. They did have a Concert ticket/album bundle planned. But that got scrapped with COVID. But Billboard is outlawing bundles in two weeks. So no artist will be able to benefit from any of that anymore. Which I think is a good thing.
I just feel like this entire release and buildup was a miscalculation from the beginning by the label. But. It’s done and they’re #3.
Assuming #1 on the country chart tho.
