Calculations show Kendrick Lamar made roughly $1M from his record breaking 9.6M first day streams of his new album, ‘To Pimp A Butterfly.’ Hopes and Fears did the math based of Spotify’s pay-out published formula. Staying true to their calculations, the numbers show K. Dot earned somewhere between $921,600 and $1,290,240 in the twenty-four hours his new album was available on the streaming platform. Wow, congrats Kendrick Lamar!
