What do you think he'll end up at come his opening week sales?

I'm guessing 400,000-500,000 sales his first week. So, I went with option 3. (400,000-700,000). What about you?

Vote. Discuss.

I picked anywhere from the 300-400k range. Plus when does his album come out anyway?

Well I heard he went platinum just off of pre-orders.

Going platinum is always a good thing, but the fact that he's been constantly pushing it back makes it difficult not to go platinum.

That being said, it's a highly anticipated album so don't be suprised if it does extremely well and then he dies a week after it drops and enters the Pac & Biggie stratosphere.

400,000-700,000.

All the hype surrounding Weezy should generate good sales.

His name should never be mentioned alongside Tupac and Biggie. He surpasses them both in every aspect of the rap game.

Nah, but seriously....am i the only one that doesn't like this guy? That being said...i won't be suprised if he shifts more than 500,000.

He did have a May release date, but it got pushed back to June.

I'm surprised people think that he's pushing anything near 1 million. But, I guess we'll wait and see.

He didn't. However, the markeyplace isn't the same anymore. People don't buy albums like they used to. HUGE country stars, pop stars, R&B stars don't sell 1 million out the gate. THE EAGLES, with a HUGE LOYAL following, sold 700,000. Alicia Keys didn't break 800K if memory serves. I don't see Wayne doing it, but I could be wrong. Doubtful.

I feel you playa..I think his loyal fans will buy the album just to show massive support...That too has been a trend as of late..I hope the album does well..

I'm going out and buying that *****. I haven't bought a real cd aside from a mixtape in like 5 or 6 years.

Exactly, so his die hard fans will go out and cop that.. I certainly won't and a lot of people out there who don't really wanna spend money on it definitely won't....

I'll be surprised if he passes the half mill mark in his first week.....

Bootlegging has taken over...

Yeah, he'll sell well. But, the marketplace is a ***** right now.

if you think rappers really freestyle, I can see why you would waste time debating album sales for this guy
