Eternal Atake sold 288,000 equivalent album units in the week ending March 12. Uzi's previous album, Luv Is Rage 2, also debuted at No.1 following its release in 2017 with 135,000 units. Of those 288,000 units, 278,000 were down to streams of the album. This equates to songs from the album being played 400 million times in its first week of release.

The last album to achieve streaming figures of that volume was Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter V, which debuted with 433 million in 2018.
