Commercial performance

Although the Pack's first EP Skateboards 2 Scrapers received fairly good sale reception, their debut album Based Boys failed to do so. The album sold 2,300 copies in its first week according to Soundscan and Billboard. [3] The album peaked at #14 on Billboard's Heatseeker chart.
