If R2 Leaks.....

[slimsoxshady]

I set up a "predict the exact sales" of relapse last year.... and i believe Venomous won it. So once we actually have some news on the release date, we should do it again

^ and to the poster 2 posts above, Black Eyed Peas got owned by Relapse last year. Their album only did 300k first week

^ you're right, we're in 2010 , it's difficult to reach 1 million sales
btw: i hate BEP

maybe in another country, but not here in the states.

does anyone know if itunes is added to the count?


and to slimsox, i made the reference to black eyed, because they got FAR more advertising than R1 did, thats why i said they didnt hit the one mil mark.

500-1 mil

In the long term The E.N.D. has owned Relapse. Due to its singles its been able to stay high up in the charts for longer and has gone past 2x Platinum so it depends how you see it.

^ but they have major promo, major hits while Relapse singles flopped off the chart even before the album was released. The have to tour their asses off too

It depends on the first choice single & promotion so its impossible to predict yet, do it when the 1st single leaks...

Well exactly, Relapse got owned because The E.N.D.'s singles were much more successful and there was more promotion for BEP. Relapse was still very successful, no doubt. If Relapse had had those things too then it probably would of whipped BEP's ass.

we could only imagine

Personally i don't think it'll sell all that much no matter how good it is; CDs don't sell like that anymore, especially since everyone here will download the album when it leaks anyway. And don't say you won't.

It's not like it matters anyway. Nearly every artist i see selling massive numbers sucks balls anyway, just reflects the audience you need to do so.

666,665

[shadyfreakzul]

if it leaks like relapse then 620-750k

I don't want it to leak, but fact is, it will. A so long awaited album will never be able to avoid the power of the Internet.
