The Numbers Game: Maybach Music Group & Elvis Costello/The Roots

Maybach

Maybach Music Group dropped Self Made Vol. 3 and it sold 50,000 copies in it’s first week. That’s about half of what Self Made Vol. 2 sold and that makes sense. The release of this album wasn’t as big as the last one: No press conference, no Alife pop-up shop, no new members announced. Still, it’s the #4 album in the country. Review coming on Friday.
