Tyler, The Creator‘s sophomore album Wolf is not only a progression in his sound but also his sales. His debut album, 2011’s Goblin, debuted at #5 and sold 45,000 in it’s first week. Wolf on the other hand came in at #3 and sold 89,000. Also, the album didn’t have any big singles so 89,000 is pretty good (Plus Tyler is happy about it).
