Incase it hasn't been mentioned

Postby RealSickLindley » May 10th, '09, 17:58

That guy Roc Da Mic who goes on Boxden, who is an affiliate of G Unit, said that the predicted sales for it are 700,500-800,000 for the first week. That's what they're originally shipping anyway, not guaranteed to be that.

I think it will be atleast slightly more, because i think some were waiting to hear more, because the original signs weren't great. But surely now that it's been leaked and had a good reception, there's a new mass group of buyers.

I don't think a million is out of question, i mean by the way people keep saying they're going to get like 5 copys :unsure: lol

1 mill a first week, I dunno, I hope it does numbers like that, but I dont belive that It would.
Honestly I couldnt care less about the 1st week sales, if Im happy with the album, its all that matters to me.

I think 1 million is indeed hard but to me it doesn't matter. I'll definitely be happy with 700k. :happy:
My friend who's actually more into Metal has decided to buy the album wehn it's out so that's good actually, if people like him buy his album then Eminem is definitely gonna sell more than what some of us might think.

Are sales really that important to you lot?

I mean sure it'll be good if he sells a mil because it'll prove to idiots that he's still got it, but really you ought to just be glad the album's not a fucking pile of shit.

I don't care really, apart from i look at the charts, because if he's getting radio play, then more people are listening to my favourite artist.

I just saw it when i was on Boxden, and because people had been going "deffo million in the first week", i thought i'd put the current prediction from the people selling the album.

How is it going to sell a mil if only 750,000-800,000 get shipped? I don't really understand how it works tho

That's initially what they think it will sell like a week or so before it comes out. I think it might even have been made before the leak, because Roc Da Mic disappeared around that time and just came on today with this news.

Obviously if shit starts flying off the shelves it isn't going to take long to knock off another 100,000/200,000 copies or whatever. I mean you never see albums just sell out with no stock do you.
