Pooh Shiesty has one of hip-hop’s strongest fan bases.

Pooh Shiesty’s All Eyes on Shiest is now projected to debut at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 with 51,000 first-week units, according to HITSDD.

Considering the circumstances surrounding this release, that’s a pretty impressive accomplishment. Shiesty is currently incarcerated, meaning he hasn’t been able to promote the album in the traditional way, yet his music is still generating enough interest to potentially land him another Top 10 album.

All Eyes on Shiest contains 16 tracks and was released through Gucci Mane’s 1017 Records. The project features appearances from BIG30, Sexyy Red, Tay Keith, GloRilla, K Carbon, and more. “FDO” and “MANE” are currently the most-streamed tracks, while “Last Man Breathin” and “Still On Timing” are also making some noise.

For comparison, Shiesty’s previous album, Shiesty Season, moved over 60,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, helped heavily by the massive “Back In Blood.” So yeah, All Eyes on Shiest is still looking at a noticeable drop from his previous opening.

However, 51,000 units and a No. 7 debut are nothing to sneeze at, especially given the lack of traditional promotion surrounding the release. It shows that people are still checking for Pooh Shiesty and, more importantly, still want the authenticity he brings to his music.

Personally, I consider these first-week numbers a major win for Shiesty.
