The music world witnessed a head-to-head clash when Rod Wave and GloRilla dropped their respective albums on the same day, igniting tensions and competitive spirit.
Rod Wave decided to release his album ‘Last Lap’ on the same day as GloRilla’s ‘Glorious,’ leading to some heated emotions from the Memphis rapper. She candidly expressed her feelings on Instagram, questioning why Rod would choose the same release date when she was ready to make her mark.
Despite the clash, the numbers appear to favor Rod Wave. Projections suggest his album could sell 130,000 units in the first week, more than doubling GloRilla’s estimated 60,000 units. This puts Rod in a strong position on the Billboard 200, potentially securing the number 2 spot, although competition from Jellyroll’s ‘Beautifully Broken’ and Charli XCX’s ‘Brat’ remix is fierce.
GloRilla, however, embraced the challenge with a creative promotional push. She showcased her new hairstyle featuring the album cover art, an inventive marketing tactic that caught the attention of fans on social media. One admirer praised her hair as ‘giving Leo energy,’ while another dubbed it an outstanding promotional move.
The album release battle between GloRilla and Rod Wave may have been intense, but both artists have demonstrated their resilience and creativity in the face of competition.
