lmfaooo at the gifs .
chris is doing AMAZING on itunes but i don't want to get my hopes up too much just yet because supposedly itunes is only a small percent of album sales in general and on amazon he's only #248 and #252 :S
do we hear the official predictions today ?
THE MAIN EVENT: Both Def Jam/IDJ’s Rihanna and Jive’s Chris Brown are on their second singles, as their respective labels press on in their efforts to penetrate the all-important Pop arena—and to generate sales on their acts’ new albums. Although Rihanna’s initial single didn’t go far at Pop, her 180k bow topped her previous LP’s 153k, which wound up selling 2.5m. Brown’s first track didn’t cross to Pop, which factors into the 150k projection on his Dec. 8 album, compared to a 295k debut for his previous LP, which went on to sell 1.9m. Rihanna’s new “Hard” is taking off at radio, while Brown’s Pop-leaning “Crawl” is just getting started, as both labels play catch-up. (12/3p)
It had to be.
How else would they predict.
Almost a week before it came out???
projections are different than predictions. Projection are based off of pre sales and general album buzz. Predictions will be made today or tomorrow based on first day sales and trends. I love both Rated R and Graffiti. Both deserve more success than they a have received thus far.
he didn't sell 150k worth of presales alone , that number was just a prediction based off of presales and estimations of in-store sales so it's like a regular hitsdaily prediction but even still that number is AMAZING!
btw , he confirmed that " PASS OUT " will be the next single ( along with sing like me )
Wow this album might outsell Rihanna. Amazing how he might have overcome the scandal while the scandal might have actually hurt Rihanna's career more. Or maybe its because he's putting out better music than her
