What Are Clipse’s First-Week Sales Projections For Their New LP ‘Let God Sort Em Out’?
Clipse reuniting for their new album Let God Sort Em Out has been one of the hottest topics of 2025, in large part due to a highly active rollout, Malice returning to Hip-Hop, and Pusha T dissing multiple rappers. The first-week sales projections for their fourth studio album have hit the timeline to a myriad of reactions.
The popular Billboard-tracking X page Chart Data reported, via Hits Daily Double, that the duo’s latest LP is set to sell 90,000 album-equivalent units in its first week and debut at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. If that comes true, this album would tie their 2002 debut album Lord Willin’ for reaching the No. 4 spot, but fall behind it at the No. 2 spot on their list of first-week sales performances throughout their career. Willin’ sold 122,000 album-equivalent units in large part due to their classic single “Grindin’.”
The internet has been loving this LP, largely due to the presence of Kendrick Lamar on “Chains & Whips,” the reunion of Clipse and Pharrell, and seeing a veteran group still performing at a high level. Sales have rarely been their metric of success, but their recent venture into independence has many people thrilled about these projections.
“Clipse selling 90K first week units 16 years after their last album is an incredible feat,” one X user wrote. “90k first week sales for Clipse? Huge W. Their biggest first week since Lord Willin’ in 2002. The press takeover worked — media STILL matters in 2025, don’t let anyone tell you different,” another user wrote.
“Clipse projected to sell 90k in the first week while dropping this album independently + it’s been over 16 years since they’ve dropped one as a group is a win,” another user wrote. Their rollout included a live interview with Apple Music’s Rap Life Review, an appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast, a COLORS performance, an NPR Tiny Desk set, and much more.
