400k people will buy the album based on it being the follow up to C3
200k people will buy the album based on it's singles (mainly How To Love)
300k loyal fans will buy the album to support their artist
200k suppliers will buy the album for re-sale and promotion
150k people will buy the album based on curiosity and from the VMA performance the night before (August 28th)
50k people who dislike Wayne will buy the album because deep down they are low key fans

= 1.3 million first week

I'm sure he will do a million or close to it. He has a very loyal fanbase

People are letting their hate cloud their judgement, so sad.

If he does over 500k ill be suspicious because birdman is the type of guy that will pay to double the album sales just to make wayne look better than he actually is.

This is the digital error, selling anything between
300-500k is good.

No offense DA, I'm just using this as an example. People think on the internet that us hip hop heads make up the majority and albums we dislike in hip hop will sell badly. Wrong. If it's musically (Not technically and or lyrically) entertaining, the mainstream will enjoy it.

Take "Right above it" I love that song. Drake kills it, and Wayne sucks ass. But it SOUNDS great. The mainstream loved it. Sound is everything.

So, basically, if it has any replay value at all in the beat department, it'll almost surely be a hit with the mainstream~ which makes up millions.

that said, it's unlikely the mainstream doesn't know about Wayne's next album. If they don't, they will once one friend gets their hands on it and suggests it, that's a never ending cycle.


350K aint bad,its too much tbh.
The devil ain't on a level same as him!

Birdman is one of the smartest business man, why would he waste over 20 million on album sales when he can spend 5 million in promotion that will equal the same result? stfu

How about actually say my name next time instead of dropping subliminal gay hints like your god, smfh. and how about next time actually stay on topic with the thread or don't post, your spamming.

Young Money is known for buying their albums, lol u serious? show me a fact that YM has ever bought even one of their own albums to back up your idiotic statement. Hater are mad delusional these days.

Does anybody have the quote when Lilwayne4life said that Carter4 would sell 2 million first week ... Now he says 1.3 mil... Later he will have a hugecock shoved up in his mouth when it won't sell 1.3 first week...

I don't even think it will surpass Recoverys first week... If they dosen't sell the album for 99 cents on AMAZON... But even if it did surpass the first week sales of Recovery... It won't surpass the sales, because it won't have Longevity... I'm done and the discussion is over

I think I saw it on someone signature. As a Stan, I don't even expect Eminem to ever have a album that sells 1.3 or even 2 million the first week.
