That's sad but well I can say I buy a copy
It's actually not that terrible of a number, unfortunately. Trust me, I look at sales numbers every week and considering the amount of promo and X's current position in the game and it being an independent release, it is not that bad. I mean Machine Gun Kelly's album came out on a major, with big promo, international tour, major videos, etc etc, and it barely broke 50k.

Guess I'm getting old cause to me MGK ain't nothing but a brat compared to X! Won't even bother to download his skinny ass's shit for free, much less pay for it!

MGK appeals to the generation of fans who are 14-25 right now, X's fans are mostly 25+.You're not supposed to like MGK, his music is not geared towards you. He's a 21 year old party/fun rapper making music for the high school and college crowd, sort of like Mac Miller, who releases the most successful independent album of the decade, selling 145,000 copies the first week.

No one knew about it and he released it in Canada a week later...Buy then everyone just downloads it.Sick album though but this is the music industry now.
