A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Reaches No. 1 With 823 Copies Sold

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie staked his first Number One album as the New York rapper’s Hoodie SZN sold 58,000 total copies… but only 823 traditional copies.

Hoodie SZN accumulated 83 million streams over the past week, which when converted into streaming equivalent albums (SEAs) allowed a Boogie Wit Da Hoodie to ascend to Number One after two weeks in second place, Billboard reports.

However, as the New York Times notes, less than 1,000 people actually purchased the digital-only album. That makes Hoodie SZN the all-time lowest-selling Number One album, breaking the record established one week earlier when 21 Savage’ I Am > I Was mustered just over 3,000 traditional copies (along with 62,000 SEAs) on its way to the top spot.

Here's the math: Spotify pays about $0.006 to $0.0084 per stream to the holder of music rights. And the "holder" can be split among the record label, producers, artists, and songwriters.
