Opinion: MMLP2 won't set any sales records

[badeviltwin]

I really think this has a chance at whatever Wayne did with the last Carter album for sure since it hasn't leaked yet

Maybe we should see what happens with the Monster before we start looking too deeply into this.

agree. i was just commenting on what i knew at the time. as things change, my opinions will change.

not saying mmlp2 will be a flop. i'm just saying i think the sales will be higher than relapse but lower than recovery.

Bumping this.

Add 100 000 to your initial predictions lmao

A milli A milli confirmed

I hope Em sells less than 500k so they'll realise that commercial singles won't make him sell a milli.

^ Yeah. The Monster will surely help the album. I won't reach up to MMLP1 and TES levels. But it might break SSLP/Encore levels if it's lucky.

Take this as you will. I do not know how valid this particular research is, but it seems to be true. Just pointing out that there is at least some data out there that contradicts your claim:

"More than 2/3 of the albums that sold platinum or better had a #1 radio hit. Even selling gold virtually requires at least one top-15 hit. While a top-5 hit doesn't guarantee a platinum+ album, it's extremely difficult to get there without it."

Though I would be willing to accept that you consider Eminem to be a special case.

I know that, but I hope you get what I was trying to say
