Forecsts for Now 44, Aerosmith, Ne-Yo, All That Remains and Glease, Plus Jokes
November 7, 2012
Would you believe that long lines at polling places put a damper on first-day sales for several of this week's new releases? Would you believe that sweeping Democratic victories mean "our nation must be governed by the center"? Would you believe that what happened that time at the Motel 6 has never happened to us before?
Well, whatever you believe, here are some facts about the week's key debuts.
Capitol's Now 44 looks set to move 95-105k, while Aerosmith's new one on Columbia should do 70-80k. Ne-Yo (Motown) appears set to ramp up 50-55k for his brand of R&B/pop, Third Day (Provident) will probably see 25-30k, and Razor & Tie's All That Remains should scare up 20-25k.
Tell you more, tell you more? Well, Glease (Columbia), the newest dispatch from the cast of Glee, will likely sell 15-20k. Are we the only ones who think of Buddy Hackett's waiter routine whenever we see that title? We are? OK, then.
I know everyone's sales are affected, but what makes these R&B male stars think doing dance/pop will help their album sales?
What?????? How come Trey matched at least Usher/Brown numbers but Ne-Yo is gonna flop so badly even with the biggest hit of them?
I mean...
Usher, Trey and Chris did around the same numbers, yet Ne-Yo can't even cross 100k? But to be fair, Libra Scale only did 110k first week. I just expected a little more than 50k.
I can't
