If she releases a single before the album drops (which she should do) and it does well, I'm expecting 150k - 200k. Without it, 100k - 125k or even more. She does have a lot of promo coming up and I'm sure she'll add more.
well, i'll be disappointed if she opens less than Shakira
Why? Shakira was featured in several commercials and had a very popular song around the time her album came out. Shakira's numbers were decent, and if Mariah can do close to her numbers without any songs on The Hot 100, that would be great.
