21 Savage & Metro Boomin’s “Savage Mode 2” First-Week Sales Projections Revealed

21 Savage has mastered the art of patience. He isn’t flooding the world with new music at every turn, creating anticipation for each body of work. For Savage Mode 2, it’s been pretty much four years. The two hinted at the idea of releasing a sequel shortly after releasing the 2016 collaborative mixtape and they finally followed up on Friday. 

As Savage continues to prove he’s a commercial giant while maintaining true to his sound, he and Metro Boomin are projected to make a huge splash on the charts in the coming week. Per HitsDailyDouble, 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s Savage Mode 2 is on pace to move up to 195K in its first week. They project that it will move anywhere from 170K to 195K with 14-17k coming from pure sales.

This would mark Savage’s biggest debut week to date following i am > i was first week total of 131k. XXL reports that this would mark a 1365.52 percent increase in sales in comparison to 2016’s Savage Mode.

Savage Mode 2‘s first-week sales projections aren’t shocking considering the demand. Ahead of its release, a petition was launched by a fan demanding that 21 Savage and Metro Boomin drop the project which garnered upwards of 15K signatures. Who knows if it actually played a factor in its release but it did drop only a few weeks later.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

KYLE

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
