Do you think Em will sell a million in first week?

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

Oh no

[slim-topic]

[Jay-19]

No.

Everyone was hyped for R1, and when they got to listen to it, let's be honest, it was kind of a huge disappointment to a lot of people. So now, they think R2 will sound alike.

But the true fans know the deal about the changed plans for R2, but I don't think that's enough to push it to the 1 mill in it's first week.

[slimsoxshady]

i don't even think he'll sell what Relapse sold first week

[Mikey1990]

no not a mill

[MikeNUFC]

Nope, for 3 reasons.

1. Outside of hip hop forums and websites, how much have you heard about R2? Nothing? Same. Of course, they'll promote it better than they did Relapse closer to the release date but I know Em fans who know literally nothing about Relapse 2. Nothing at all.

2. People will download it. When you can get a free CD rather than a 8 quid CD, kids who havent grown up with CDs and just computers (thats 13 year olds ish which is quite a bit of Em's market) would much rather have the free mp3 files. I like having the Cd for my collection and better quality but most dont think like me this day and age.

3. Relapse was a dissapointment to a lot of casual fans and especially Em fans who arent into any other rap music. The fans who queued up to get MMLP becuase they heard Real Slim Shady will hate Relapse. So that will put casual fans of - a lot more of Em's market.

Unless his single is some Lose yourself/Til I Collapse type shit I cant see anymore than 650K.

No artist this year will sell a mill first week. Not Em, not Drake, not Wayne. No-one.

With decent single's it's possible.

The fact that his verse on forever & the warning created a bigger buzz than Relapse... shows that when Em really kill's it people are interested.

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

Mike, if they've never heard of Relapse 2, then they're obviously not Em fans.

[EminemBase]

I very much doubt it.

I reckon... 750-800k 1st week.

[MikeNUFC]

Mike, if they've never heard of Relapse 2, then they're obviously not Em fans.

They've heard of it but NOTHING about it. I know we havent heard a lot, but still know a few details.

[Mikey1990]

well actually relapse did do a million worldwide
but in US no chance
R2 will sell 500-700k
but em does have more hype for r2

[MikeNUFC]

all ya DOUBTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not doubt, it's being realistic.

[TiBon]

If all the things we are hearin' comes true, yeah i think so

[AJS2050]

Its impossible to predict, we havent heard anything, we havent heard the 1st single, we dont know how much promotion he will be doing. If he was to promote on all the big US shows than he could easily, take Susan Boyle for example, she was only predicted to get 500k but than she appeared on oprah etc in front of millions and that prediction changed to 700k.

[Mikey1990]

No one will ever do a million again
if em does 600k again it will be great sales
