It’ll be K-Dot’s first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200
Despite surprising everyone late Sunday night, Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly is on pace to move more than 325,000 copies in its first week, according to Billboard. If industry predictions hold — and it looks very much like they will — To Pimp a Butterfly will be the 27-year-old Compton rapper’s first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200. Lamar’s previous effort, good kid, m.A.A.d. city, peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 back in 2012, and sold 241,000 copies in its first week.
