Depends on how these next 6-7 weeks plays out. Both Relapse & Recovery had initial projections of sales just north of 600k. The positive response from fans of Recovery + Rihanna buzz pushed it over 700k (~750).
Some factors to consider:
- Loyal & increasing fan base
- Follow-up to a successful album
- Sequel to arguably his best album
(- Sequel to a diamond album)
- Fourth quarter release (All sales are increased by X %)
If the quality lives up to the hype of the title MMLP2, and the second single is a successful cross-over hit that creates buzz, the 1 million sales isn't impossible. But, for now, I'll say somewhere around 700-900k.
