Theophilus London's "Vibes" moves less than 3,000 copies in its first week.

Theophilus London's album Vibes, released last week, is surely the Brooklyn rapper's biggest project to date. With Kanye West as an executive producer and a guest on one track, this was certainly primed to be more of a "big deal release" than Timez Are Weird These Days, the 2011 album that was Theo's last official project. Despite that, Vibes sold 2,718 copies in the US in its first week. 

Especially in the wake of Taylor Swift's 1989 taking just one week to go platinum, these numbers aren't the greatest, but are about equal to what London moved for the album's predecessor. Think Theo will top this in his next release?
