Album Sales Prediction

[infinite2hts]

How much do you think the album will do in terms of sales? First Week and Overall?
I'll go with 850000 first week and somewhere between 3.5 Mil - 4.0 Mil Overall.

[Trimss]

I think it's gonna do 3,5 millions at best. Maybe less.

All time? It'll be way higher than that. What's Recovery at now?

It's at 4,5 millions. I think this album will be .. rawer than Recovery. Between Recovery and Relapse.

[ShadyxEminem]

Eminem will sell 800k+ in the first week. It's only right. Relapse- 600k Recovery- 700k 8th Album- 800k

[Notalius]

he will top the million this time .. he's the biggest artist right now next to adele i guess .. i think worldwide he will be around 8 - 11 million and 4 -7 in the states

[UofLCard]

First week: 800K

[EmTV]

First week will be like JT, just short of a milli.

[Blu]

First week will be 800-850K.

[tadpole25]

250-750k first week depending on single

[dR3]

It's gonna be hard as hell reaching a millie in the first week. 700-800k seems just about right.

I think he'll do a milli first week.

People underestimate how many new fans he picked up with Relapse and Recovery and how many old fans he awakened. We've all followed him regardless because we're obsessed but the amount of people I see like... ranging from young kids to middle-aged women who'd never heard Eminem prior to Relapse even is amazing. Then, the amount of people he connected with Recovery? with those monster hits etc. forget about it, he sold over 600k after being in a cave for 4 years, then nearing 800k with the next one... there's been a bit of a wait for this one, if the single is big = 1 mil first week.

As for worldwide sales... hmm, I reckon 5 mil in the US, 10/11 worldwide. It all depends on what momentum he creates with the theme, which to be honest - I am itching to see... I am so interested as to what fucking theme, title and imagery he's going to hang this album off... because he's uptodate with his life material and given the way he evolved with things like "Love the Way You Lie", I just can't see him looking backwards and using his childhood or anything, so, I'm intrigued. What's he gonna do...

Also, we know he's gonna sell at least 600k first week, which is pretty fucking amazing. No other artist in history, to my recollection - has maintained the momentum he has. You have like Lil Wayne who sold like a mill first week with C3 and again nearly a mill with C4 right? but his first albums didn't sell like that, it's a momentum he built over a long time with an abundance of material and not all his shit sells like that. Where as Em debuted with like 270k or whatever and then 1.7mil, 1 mil, nearly a mil with Encore?, 600-odd, 700k-odd... I mean, his momentum has been sky-high for like 13 years, that's amazing and if sells near a mill this far into his career, despite already being well past creating his big impact... that's unheard of. Either way, I just hope it's a fucking classic. Sick of them being just short now, he's had 3 bad-decent albums in a row, make a classic Em!

[LMShady]

First week 750,000.

[Shade135]

I think he has a song like Criminal combined with Sing For the Moment as a first single then fill the album with songs like that, the buzz he will create around the album, hopefully being a serious/Fuck you style album, my guess is 850 to a mil first week. Even with all the pirating now, if this album delivers, it will have very strong sales. from his verse in My Life, which is the gerneral feeling i think the album with have, i would almost put my money on a mil. Even if the album isnt what everyone is hoping for, it will still have strong sales because nobody knows which direction it is gonna go which is adding even more buzz to it than it just being another album. shitty or insane, no less than 850.

[infinite2hts]

^ his my life verse was recorded in 2011. its old.
idk why the label has not started the promotion yet. if the album is coming b4 august than promotion should start now itself to pull off 1 million first week. promoting it like the previous albums like 1 or 1.5 months before the release will assure only 7 - 800000 copies MAX.
