With various reviews of the album touting it as his best work to date, early first week sales projections for Big Sean’s Dark Sky Paradise suggest the project is going to be the Detroit lyricist’s most successful opening commercially.

The G.O.O.D. Music emcee is slated to sell between 120,000 and 130,000 copies of Dark Sky Paradise in its first week in stores, according to Hits Daily Double. The site also reports that the project is estimated to do between 140,000 and 150,000 in sales plus streams.

This will mark Big Sean’s biggest first week sales to date. His 2011 effort Finally Famous sold 87,000 copies within the first seven days of its release while 2013’s Hall Of Fame moved 72,000 units.
