This looks about right -

But they were better off with her having a week to herself instead of jaming her with all those releases. My original perdiction is the same. 150k, 200k is the max. KanYe will do 400-600k.
Lloyd Banks will be lucky to do anything past 75k. Akon going to do alteast 100k. Jay Z got a greatest hits album that will move close to 100k. Ye is going to be body the charts. Nicki will have a Top 5 debut though. But she ain't outselling Ye'. Ye just shut down 4 stations for his video. Nicki has the buzz but her album won't have the pop culture on lock like KanYe does.
Of course Ye is gonna outsell her, but I don't see it being by that much. Kanye usually has a hit single..at least Top 5 coinciding with his album releases. Last album he had a #1 and a #2 I think..and only did around 450k. This time around, none of his singles are hitting home. All Nicki's singles are doing better than his. I see her passing Gold status within 2 months.
Judging by the main pop releases from last year...
First week sales for albums released on 11/23/09:
1. Susan Boyle, "I Dreamed A Dream" - 669,000
2. Andrea Bocelli, "My Christmas" - 215,000
3. Adam Lambert, "For Your Entertainment" - 195,000
4. Lady Gaga, "Fame Monster" - 181,000
5. Rihanna, "Rated R" - 180,000
Gross sales in the month of December to the first week of January:
- "For Your Entertainment" (Adam Lambert) sold 370,000 copies.
- "Rated R" (Rihanna) sold 400,000 copies.
- "Fame Monster" (Lady Gaga) sold 450,000 copies.
So with Billboard's prediction based off 125,000 copies first, the album would look like it would sell 350,000 copies in its first month...but I think 125k is way too low so i'd say at least 400k...and again, passing Gold status within 2 months.
I see....
Boyle - 450k (2nd week)
Kanye - 400k
Nicki - 250k
Justin Bieber Unplugged - 200k
Rascall Flatts - 125k (2nd week)
Taylor/Trailer Swift - 110k (5th week)
Josh Groban - 100k (2nd week)
Pink - 100k
Kid Rock - 95k
Ne-Yo - 90k
Banks - 85k
Akon - 80k
Jay-Z - 60k
Rihanna - 60k (3rd week)
Either way, like i've been sayin... neither will probably come in at #1 is Susan Boyle keeps her release date the week before them. -
Nicki will sell between 100,000 and 200,000, Kanye will sell half a million or more.

Susan Boyle still making albums?

I just saw that her 2009 release was the highest selling of the year. -
She did 3 million in 5 weeks last year...crazy. I don't see her selling as much as last year but she's still gonna ether the charts.

You never know though!!!! -
Kanye will do 500,000 - 600,000 plus imo. As for Nicki, i don't she is as popular as some of yall think, they are tryna market her like Lady Gaga but white America aint buying that nonsense, i think she will gold in total. If Drake barely scratched platinum, what makes yall think Nicki is doing platinum or big numbers.She will do 200,000 first week and do a 50 Cent like slow roll to gold.

We'll see in 5 weeks. I don't see how people predict Kanye to do #'s like 600k when none of his singles can spend more than 2 weeks inside the Top 40. That much hype just isn't there.

How many of y'all are going to physically purchase Pink Friday?

Buying physical copies off Amazon or BestBuy.com >>>

Kanye isn't a singles driven artist like a Flo Ridah, he is a complete artist and has a fanbase. Top 40 and radio doesn't neccessarilly translate to album sales, see Jay Sean, Flo Ridah, Pitbull, etc. -
No competition
Kanye>>> -
Cham is delusional

Don't see how a Kanye album with a mulit-week #1 is gonna sell less than a Kanye album with no Top 10s. You're crazy if you don't think singles effect album sales.ptowndonte wrote: »Cham is delusional -
Lol please.....

Are we arguing about sales being necessary to move units? If so someone bring up the Jay Z stats

Delusional how? What's hyping up this album? GOOD Friday leaks? Lmao. Be serious. 500k max, and that's being generous.
Girl, Kanye just shut down 4 National TV stations on some Michael Jackson ? for this album, you would be silly to think Nicki Minaj coud even compete with that kind of promotion -
