It looks like a head-to-head showdown between GloRilla and Rod Wave, as both artists dropped their latest albums on the same day. While GloRilla’s release generated excitement, she couldn’t help but feel some type of way about sharing her release date with Rod Wave—and with good reason.
According to projections from Hits Daily Double, Rod Wave’s Last Lap is on track to crush first-week sales, pulling in an impressive 130,000 equivalent album units. Meanwhile, GloRilla’s Glorious is expected to fall short, with numbers forecasted at around 60,000 units—less than half of Rod’s total.
The significant gap in sales might explain GloRilla’s mixed feelings about the timing of her release, as both projects hit the charts at the same time. With Rod Wave’s dominance in the numbers game, it’s clear the competition was stiff from the start. As both artists continue to rise, the industry will be watching how this plays out in the long run.
Will GloRilla bounce back with future releases, or will Rod Wave maintain his momentum in the charts? Fans are eager to see how this friendly rivalry evolves.
