although it also says eminem is ahead right now :sweating:

Rick Ross sure knows to calculate the time, if he just dropped 1 week earlier (last week) Em would of beat him :o

Ross won with this album, perfect feel good rap, bumps in the car, fucking good sales and a number one.

Some guys need to get out of their arses with this 'i'm a better music fan, cos i only listen to lyrical shit'.. It's musiccccc.. Enjoy it.

It's 80% though probably, he's on to do going on 200k, when naturally Em in this week is around that 150k and dropping stage..

:confusion: when did anyone say he's doing 200k? they're saying 180k at most, that's very different. And you didn't see they actually said Em had an early lead now?

'Going on 200k', by my lingo, i mean closer to 200k than 150k.

All i saw were articles earlier in the week saying that Em had a lead, then recent ones with predictions saying that Ross will have enough.

When they said early lead they didn't mean in this weeks sales. They meant that his last week held up nicely and maybe the next one will to, and also that he's in the circulars :facepalm there not anymore informed than were are when it comes to that.

READ MY POST.

Ffs.

I said with my slang, 'going on' means closer to one number than the other.

So 180k is 'going on 200k' cos it's closer to that than 150k.

they predicted base on first day sale, not last week sale :facepalm and they name the article "ONE-DAY SALES: It’s the Teflon Don vs. Slim Shady for #1 " so it's a tight battle, not a set-in-stone one.

thing is, when they say 150-180k, it means 180k at most, or maybe just few thousand more, you can't just translate it to 200k like that :-s I do think Ross has higher chance coming out on top, just like to correct some number here

Correct on both matters, Alaine :y: Of course, Ross might increase his sales with the weekend coming and all, but at the same time, it could also sell less than predicted - that's why you have the 150-180k range (+-15k)

He's doing closer to 180k though, cos at the moment he's hot with rap fans, and has a very popular song out that is getting very good urban play, and is in all the clubs.. Don't talk numbers when you don't know the artist.

lol who needs to know about the artist when you have professional sources for numbers do all the predictions for you? they're saying he might reach 180k anyway, no one even denying anything :-k
