Ice Spice is leaving few stones unturned in promotion of her long-awaited debut album, ‘Y2K,’ but is it helping?
In the 2 years since bursting onto the charts with her viral hit ‘Munch (Feelin’ U),’ Spice (born Isis Gaston) has been a leading lady on the Rap scene – getting thumbs up from some of the music’s biggest names (Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj) while winning over legions of fans in the process.
The momentum of multiple hit singles seemed to be the perfect springboard for her July 26-released debut album, ‘Y2K,’ bolstered by the Hot 100-charting smashes ‘Think U the Sh*t (Fart)‘ and ‘Did It First.’
Yet, despite boasting supporting appearances in high-profile publications like ‘Rolling Stone‘ to rocking the stages of the BET Awards and ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon‘ (as seen above), industry analysts have already revealed the project will likely miss the top 20 upon its debut on next week’s Billboard 200.
Ice Spice’s ‘Y2K’
First-Week Sales (SPS): >27,000 units
Billboard 200 Debut: >#20
If the projection listed above comes true it will mark the lowest first-week sales of any major female Rap body of work released over the last year.
Look below to see how ‘Y2K’ is set to stack up against the competition.
First-Week Sales of Female Rapper Projects
Released July 2023 – July 2024
Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday 2‘: 228,000
Doja Cat’s ‘Scarlet‘: 72,000
Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘Megan‘: 64,000
GloRilla’s ‘Ehhthang‘: 33,000
JT’s ‘City Cinderella‘: 28,000
There’s always the chance ‘Y2K’ will follow the trajectory of Spice’s debut mixtape ‘Like..?’ which debuted at #37 (15,000 sold first-week) on the Billboard 200 to later vault to #15 thanks to aggressive promotion and a deluxe edition.
With the ‘Y2K World Tour‘ loading, it’s promising that the albums’ first-week figures won’t tell its full story.
