Wayne doesn't have that momentum yet...after he gets out of jail and drops Dedication 4 and gets on a shit load of features, he'll have more buzz and probably sell bout 500-700k first week next summer with C4

Rebirth was a major studio album - it still only sold 176,000 first week



That's because star power isn't quite enough to sell a pile of shit.


I have no idea how much this will sell because of the whole digital first thing.

But I still say C4 will do about 580k.

you also gotta account for the fact Rebirth leaked in full 7 weeks early (and the guy that leaked it posts on this board lol)...its not 2 or 3...7 is a huge number
it's not like it would have sold 500k, but 300k was a good bet imo

Another week, another country album debuts at #1.



After Zac Brown Band’s chart-topping bow, look for BNA/Sony Music Nashville’s Kenny Chesney to enter at #1 next week with Hemingway’s Whiskey eyeing a total between 180-200k, more than enough to lead the charge.


He’s on target for a total that will exceed his last album, Lucky Old Sun, which opened in Oct. 2008 with 176k, according to those music retailers who haven’t turned their stores into Jamba Juice outlets.



Next up is imprisoned rapper Lil Wayne’s 10-track digital-only release for Cash Money/Universal Motown, I Am Not a Human Being, with the physical album coming out Oct. 12. First-week digital sales are projected to be in the 90-100k range.

Easily will do 2 Million first week. <-- Serious talk

200K prediction after 3 weeks??? :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Relapse Refill sold that 1st week!, and that was a re-release, FIVE songs of new material, face it mate, Lil Wayne is irrelevant now.... Eminem's back :D :wave:

Rebirth = 200K
Relapse=600K

I don't need to even mention Recovery.
Needs a leak
