[ANNOUNCEMENT] Felly AMA Wednesday, August 16th at 2PM EST - HipHop

Also said the Wiz feature was free. This was all said on Akademiks stream and it was really interesting since Ugly God is technically an Independent artist. Pretty impressive tbh since he did 12k he recouped all the money he invested into the album.

If you guys want some reference, Joey Bada$$, another independent artist, said his album "All Amerikkan Bada$$" cost him 250k to make and he also recouped his money in the first week nearly off the pure album sales.

I went to Dave's comedy show in NYC tonight and he teased a "very special guest" for months and of fucking course, it was Kendrick! Best show I've ever been too.

Notable:

Drake is out. Passionfruit goes recurrent (#81 last week, #8 peek, 20 weeks on chart), and Signs drops off after 6 weeks (#100 last week). This is the first time he hasn't had a song on the Hot 100 since he first entered it a bit over 8 years ago, with Best I Ever Had in 2009.
Bodak Yellow (#8) still having massive success. Top 5 next week.
Bank Account (#12) also gaining well, likely top 10 next week.
Other breakthrough songs making good moves include Young Dumb & Broke (#64 > #49), Crew (#66 > #58) and The Weekend (#89 > #75)
Patty Cake's video brings it up to #76. It did not previously chart.
Rae Sremmurd's Perplexing Pegasus debuts at #84

Billboard 200 (Albums):

Position	Title	Artist	Sales	Last Week
1	DAMN.	Kendrick Lamar	47K (<1% change)	2
2 (country)	Brett Eldrege	Brett Eldrege	45K	DEBUT
3	Grateful	DJ Khaled	31K (down 8%)	4
4	Wins & Losses	Meek Mill	31K (down 16%)	3
6	Issa Album	21 Savage	29K (down 5%)	6
9	Ctrl	SZA	27K (up 5%)	13
10	Amercan Teen	Khalid	27K (up 1%)	11
24 (NEW)	AI YoungBoy	Youngboy NBA	16K	DEBUT
27 (NEW)	The Booty Tape	Ugly God	12K	DEBUT
148 (NEW)	12	A$AP Twelvyy	?	DEBUT

DAMN. returns back to #1 after 13 weeks of moving around the top 5. Incredibly low sales for a #1 though, the lowest since Starboy pulled 56K in January.
