"IT IS ODD"- Playboi Carti reacts to first-week sales projection for latest album Music
After teasing his third studio album in 2021 initially, Playboi Carti dropped Music after years of delay and receiving backlash from fans. Shortly after its release, the project broke Spotify's record by becoming the most streamed album in a single day in 2025 on March 14, 2025.
Announcing the same, the streaming platform took to X on March 16, 2025, and tweeted:
"Carti’s MUSIC is already making history"
Moreover, on March 17, 2025, X page @HipHopAllDayy tweeted that the first-week sales projection data for Playboi Carti's Music did not include any physical sales, given that physicals like CDs and merch bundles are retailing on the rapper's official website.
HipHopAllDayy added that the project "will push around 250K from just streaming units", thus comparing it to the rapper's tracks We Don't Trust You and UTOPIA.
Additionally, the page reposted an X user's query asking "why werent bundles included?" and responded saying:
"Not a clue, they never report the sales like this, seems odd."
Playboi Carti reposted the aforementioned tweets from HipHopAllDayy, reacting to the page's statement about the sales projections seeming unusual. The rapper tweeted:
"IT IS ODD"
Playboi Carti's Music is a 30-track album which was originally titled I Am Music. The album features collaborations with artists like Ty Dolla $ign, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, the Weeknd, Skepta, and Young Thug.
