Rick Ross ‘Set in Stone’ First Week Sales Projections Revealed

Rick Ross released his new album, Set In Stone, this past Friday to a mostly positive reception from his core fanbase. The project marks his first full-length studio effort since the 2021 release, Richer Than I Ever Been. The lead-up to this launch has been notably complex, as the Miami mogul has navigated a turbulent year defined by public friction with Drake, which has frequently shifted the focus from his music to social media discourse.

On the new album, the rapper enlists a heavy-hitting lineup of collaborators, including T.I., Jeezy, and The-Dream, across a 19-track sequence. Despite the star power, early industry data suggests a difficult commercial road ahead.

According to initial first-week sales projections courtesy of HDD, Set In Stone is currently on track to move fewer than 26,000 equivalent album units. If these figures hold, the project will likely miss a top 20 debut on the Billboard album charts next week. While these early numbers are modest, the industry remains watchful to see if streaming momentum or physical sales pick up as the tracking week concludes. Stay tuned for further updates as the final numbers are tallied.
