Kendrick Lamar is looking to open at #1 on next week’s Billboard 200 with his brand new album “GNX.”

Hits Daily Double delivered first-week projections for the project. According to the publication, the surprise drop is forecasted to earn 291,000 album-equivalent units, including a whopping 325 million on-demand audio streams, which would safely secure a #1 position on the Billboard 200.

If estimations are correct, Lamar would have averaged 27 million streams per songs, earning 10 million more per track than predecessor “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers.”

K. Dot surprised fans with “GNX” as the weekend hit, which consisted of 12 cuts with appearances from the likes of SZA, Roddy Ricch, Hitta J3, Dody6, Wallie the Sensei, and Lefty Gunplay. Mustard, Jack Antonoff, Sounwave, Terrace Martin, Kamasi Washington, Sean Momberger, and more.

In terms of first-week sales, “GNX” would be on par with his previous effort “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers” (295,000) but fall short of “To Pimp A Butterfly” (324,000) and “DAMN.” (603,000), which remains his most commercially successful release.
