idk guys. Just went to my local Target and Thank Me Later was sold out. Not sayin this explains anything, but i havn't seen a cd sell out in a store for a long time. Drake might do some numbers

I'm convinced Drake will do good numbers but I have no idea how good they'll be. 400k maybe.

Wow some very optimistic figures in here, people seem to forget really how low sales are in the US right now.

500k-700k

and yes if Recovery has 1,000,000 copies shipped that means its automatically platinum 1st week regardless of sales.

lots of albums have shipped platinum first week but the actual sales are always less
Carter 3 shipped 1.5 mill if i remember right but only sold 1 mill

Yeah, I think only actual sales count, not how many were shipped to stores.

And Recovery won't sell much more than Relapse in its first week, you can quote me on that.
