Tyler the Creator's latest album GOBLIN got sooo much hype, and started sooo many riots, and so many fistfights at shows, and every1 was buzzing, but then it came out, and it was kinda a letdown, and every1 thought it was just pretty 'meh.' Anyways, he 'only' sold 45,000 copies of his album, which is probably 'decent', but we can probs go ahead and call it a 'flop' due to all of the hype, and due 2 the fact that he gets mainstream hiphop radio play.
Maybe he'll have tons more success in the future once he stops 'being indie' and goes Eminem-horrorcore-mainstream... But as for now, he lost to Adele, Lonely Island, Now 38, and Christina Perri.
Behind her is Tyler the Creator’s solo set “Goblin,” at No. 5 with 45,000. The rapper is part of larger hip-hop collective Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All.
In related indie news, the Fleet Foxes sold 34k copies last week at #8, dropping 62% and four spots.
