Obviously yes.

Edit: not someone citing the Katy re-release as a comparation.

[KoreanDream]

Yes, absolutely. I believe we're looking at 500-600k.

[ALA]

I'm gonna say yes, probably slightly above PF.

[KanYe!]

I'm always so off with YM first week sales. Legit just gonna throw out like 800k as a guess this time (I know it's out there ). I have to stop underestimating their first weeks lol.

nicki is accepted in both pop/rap, shes gonna get 450-500k sales. she better work

If you haven't notice Nicki alienated a lot of her hardcore hip hop fans so most of her rap fans that purchased PF won't be purchasing RR.

Three more days to go before we find out.

Not a tiny bit of chance. Sorry.
Katy couldn't do it after 6 #1s.
Nicki won't either.

Where's your logic??

Katy Perry had CG and a barely released TD before her album release. Not to mention she didnt/doesnt have the same anticipation or fanbase as Nicki. Thats an extremely silly comparison.

I find it hard to believe that her mixtape Nicki fanbase purchase Pink Friday after the first two singles were Your Love & Right Thru Me. And even if they did, they certainly didnt contribute to the longevity of the CD, which almost 2 million Americans bought.

She would've had to have scrapped the whole first half of the album for that to be true

With ease.

Sure, her newly found pop fans knew who she was before "SuperBass". Her hip hop fan base contributed a lot to PF success.

Ok, Reed.

[Robert]

I want it too but it s not doing very well in pre orders , Does anyone know how high pink friday charted for preorder on itunes and amazon ?

To be fair, hip hop acts are better retail sales than digital/online purchases.

I say no, though. I do think it will be close. I see 300k.

No, her urban fanbase contributed to a LOT of PF's success. People act as if 35 year-old ghetto people bopped to Nicki. Her fanbase has alway been around 14-25, 30 tops and I'd say she hasnt alienated those people because her fanbase also listens to Rihanna, Katy, Ke$ha, etc. So they probably still bop to her dance tracks. People act like fanbases dont share the same people and as soon as a person changes up their style that their legit fans will release them...Real fans support an artist and grow with them no matter what. Fickle fans wanna hear the same thing from an artist until somebody comes along with fresher material.

I'm sure if Beyonce did Dance music or ventured into Rap you'd still support her and stan. If not then I see exactly why your logic is how it is.

1. That's what I'm implying- her hip hop fan base help contribute to PF success.

2. If Beyonce dance music was released with the same quality as her prior works, of course. But if she decided to release ****** ass bubblegum tracks, ten times worse than Kesha music then NO.

[Chrome]

What's her competition?

[iamvladd]

Did we ever find out the Physical to Digital Ratio for the first week?

I know holestically PF sold more physical.

[DvnR]

425k-450k is my official estimate.

[Kharma]

Idk. She'll be fine WW for sure considering her fanbase has grown since PF, but with the leak, and a lot of her urban fans leaving her, who knows. But regardless if she surpasses PF first week sales or not, I do think that she'll do platinum in 5 weeks or less like she did with PF and how Drake did with Take Care.

[Deemy]

She will sell around the same.

[Crystal.]

Nicki is the type of artist the sells albums.. not singles like riri or someone..
so i except alot like 400-500 range

[IWasHere]

Looks like I was right
