Once again people are forgetting the power of the urban audience.
If the urban audience is holding her down then 250 should be a given, not the highest guess.

I don't think this will have any Black Friday discounts tbh, The Re-Up was like 15.99 during Black Friday lol. Hoping if there's a standard/deluxe that the standard will be low priced, hopefully 7.99 or less.

I know Nicki can deliver yet still have a long album. And whats not to love about a long album, loads of songs to choose from. You can always delete a song if you dont like it.

It's just a case of preference.
I like albums that have 13-14 songs because it flows well and doesn't drag the whole album length.
18-21 songs (although I did enjoy PF:RR) are like... damn.
And yeah I do believe that albums that are longer than 14 songs are bound to have fillers.

Ex ZAC Lee
They underestimate the urban audience being more receptive to Nicki
The power of Black Friday
The power of discounted albums during Black Friday
The promo potentials releasing a day after AMAs etc.
She just needs to strategically film her next single by the end of next month and release the video and single simultaneously either on 11/17 or 11/24/14 full week of streaming

It's funny to see people say that she should capitalize off the hype of Anaconda. This year has said a lot about album sales, in general. For instance, you have Ariana Grande who had a huge hit w/ Problem along w/ Break Free, we see how much she opened with.
People are also forgetting how much "power" a strong Urban following holds.

But not only was it a re-release to a modest selling album but to an album with no hits.
She has two and possibly a third one soon debuting from a full length new album.
Her team would be stupid not to reduce it to $5 on black friday.
She couldn't reduce TRU too much with the dvd and 19 songs most of which were heard on the original.
Let's not compare apples to mangoes

Yes.
I need some experimental LAN type songs & not experimental Anaconda type songs.
I just want this album to be as legendary as it's title.

Ariana to me hasn't proven to be an album seller. To me, she's cute for singles but i don't see her developing as an album seller.
Nicki selling 900k from PFRR was disappointing but proved what she could do even at her low.
I feel as though she will continue her album selling roots from what she did with PF and it will start strong and continue selling stronger overtime.

People tend to believe that with a huge pop single that means your album sales will be huge, when Rihanna has always had a huge lead single & never manages to get 300k in her first week sales.
When looking at Nicki we need to compare her to other huge name rappers, not other pop stars.

Pop fans are so fickle and I think that's the problem. My main point was that hit singles do not correlate into album sales, especially not in today's market. I think we'll see around Pink Friday numbers for this album, too.

Nicki has solidified her name as a huge rapper, & the urban audience has her back so far (depending on what she releases next), so yall gotta stop with the underestimating.

Point taken. Yeah you'd think by now with Katy, Rihanna, etc. that it's understood that hit singles doesn't automatically mean an album will start out strong for certain audiences.
For the hip hop audience, hits singles does give a better indicator particularly if you have a following:
Eminem, Jay, Kanye, Drake, Wayne, Nicki

Generally, pop fans don't buy albums unless they're tweens who stan for a boy group.

Top 3...she completes the trinity
Jay, Drake and Nicki...
Em is in a league of his own and Kanye and Wayne are...well I won't go there.

I think she will win over even more urban fans when she releases the promotional single (hardcore rap single) featuring Jay Z.
Notice I said when, not if.
