The first week sale projections are in for <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/dababy-releases-new-album-kirk-feat-lil-baby-migos-and-more-listen-news.91826.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DaBaby&#8217;s album, </a><a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/dababy-releases-new-album-kirk-feat-lil-baby-migos-and-more-listen-news.91826.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Kirk</a>, and, as expected, they are quite impressive. <a href="/profile/Da-Baby" class="text-word" target="_blank" >DaBaby</a>&#8217;s first project of 2019, Baby On Baby, dropped on March 1 and peaked with the 7th spot on Billboard on June 1. While DaBaby was still building a name for himself just a few months ago, the huge success of his single &#8220;Suge&#8221; sent Baby On Baby shooting up the charts. Now that DaBaby has entrenched himself in the hip hop landscape (and consequently the mainstream), Kirk won&#8217;t have to undergo this same climb. It&#8217;s starting at the top.

Although there is a chance that the third week sales of <a href="/profile/postmalone" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Post Malone</a>&#8217;s Hollywood Bleeding manage to outstrip Kirk&#8216;s first week, it&#8217;s looking like DaBaby may snag his first number one album. <a href="https://hitsdailydouble.com/news&amp;id=318138&amp;title=EARLY-READS%3A-DABABY%2C-POST...-KANYE%3F" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">According to HitsDailyDouble</a>, Kirk is expected to sell 30-150k copies with about 7-9k out of those coming from pure sales. While we don&#8217;t have the projections for this week&#8217;s two other big hip hop releases &#8211; <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/young-ma-drops-debut-album-herstory-in-the-making-featuring-relle-bey-and-max-yb-new-mixtape.119608.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Young M.A.&#8217;s Herstory in the Making</a> and <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kevin-gates-is-his-imperial-majesty-on-im-him-new-mixtape.119606.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Kevin Gates&#8217; I&#8217;M HIM</a> &#8211; it&#8217;d be a pretty safe bet to say that DaBaby&#8217;s record will perform better than theirs. In terms of other genres, there weren&#8217;t any major releases (as <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kanye-west-premieres-jesus-is-king-in-detroit-reveals-album-merch-news.91886.htmlhttps://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kanye-west-premieres-jesus-is-king-in-detroit-reveals-album-merch-news.91886.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Kanye West&#8217;s Jesus Is King was postponed</a>) which also helps the Charlotte rapper&#8217;s cause.

<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/dababy-frustrated-that-siri-still-cant-pronounce-his-name-watch-news.91502.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DaBaby has been advertising on Instagram that his songs keep topping the charts, specifically his song with Post Malone, &#8220;Enemies&#8221;, and Kirk&#8216;s first single, &#8220;Intro&#8221;</a>. <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/dababy-dances-with-bands-in-hand-while-previewing-new-song-off-kirk-news.91549.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Considering DaBaby&#8217;s social media savviness</a>, it&#8217;s possible he pulls some antics this week to boost Kirk&#8216;s sales and secure the #1.
