Offset's new album will sell more than originally anticipated.

Over the weekend, Offset released his highly anticipated new album Set It Off. The feature-packed undertaking saw the former Migos rapper teaming up with stars. The album has appearances from Cardi B, Travis Scott, Future, Latto, and more. Cardi in particular was pretty excited about the record claiming it was Grammy-worthy before it was released. Clearly, fans seem to agree as the album is already racking up millions of streams and received a major boost in a new first week sales projection.

As of now Set It Off is due to sell 85k in its first week which would place it in the territory of new albums from Gunna and Young Thug earlier this year. That should be strong enough for a top 10 or maybe even top 5 debut on the Billboard 200 even while competing with Bad Bunny. The Latin trap legend's new album nadie sabe lo que va a pasar manana is projected to sell upwards of 200k in its first week which would score yet another number one debut for him. After original projections landed Set It Off around 65k, a major boost lifted it up to 85k where it stands now.
