Latto's new album Sugar Honey Iced Tea has been a big hit for fans, but they are a bit disappointed with the wider music-consuming landscape for not showing the same love. Moreover, the project's official first week sales numbers are here courtesy of HITS Daily Double and Chart Data , pointing to a No. 14 debut on the Billboard 200 chart with 29K in album-equivalent units sold.
Some of the Atlanta femcee's rival fanbases already clowned this debut , but it's not far off from what many other rap creatives are selling these days. As such, it's important to note that this is part of a wider conversation around rap's commercial status, not a sole attack or ridicule concerning a specific artist. Regardless, we doubt that Latto is very pressed about this; in fact, she's probably very grateful for the support and acclaim that she received over the past week or so.
After all, she has a headlining tour coming up soon which she's probably gearing up for quite excitedly. Mariah The Scientist and Karrahbooo will join Big Mama for this trek, and it should make for quite the bombastic and entertaining concert series. We'll see what else the Sugar Honey Iced Tea era and rollout holds for 2024.
