SuBo's lead wasn't as big as expected then.

He's releasing album tomorrow so his album is probably #1 because of that!

[Wilkes]

In terms of sales Boyle will sell.
In terms of actual critical reception Kanye will slay, then burn and then bury in a pile of ****, Swift and Boyle.

[MsCherry]

SuBo gonna own

[Shy Boy]

I think it'll be:

Susan
Taylor
Kanye

[Sweet Dreams]

Susan, definitely. Simon Cowell will do EVERYTHING just so she can have that worldwide #1

[Newt]

I wanted Nicki to do better

In the end, thats still a great debut for a new artist though

[chi-town_kidd]

^ I highly doubt these numbers are valid.

YM/CM would NOT be stupid enough to only ship 300k.

& I know they're expecting MORE than 125k.

[GaGaFan]

Hm. Interesting to see BEP and RiRi getting the same predictions.

[Rico Shameless v2]

I'm pretty sure the Nicki numbers are pretty close. "Massive Attack" flopped, "Your Love" won't bring in album sales, "Check It Out" is too single-artist-y. At this point, how anyone could expect outrageous numbers is crazy. Especially with all of these other big albums buyers will rather eye.

MA isn't even associated with the album. YL did what is was supposed to do, create BUZZ.

RTM already has sold ppl that were on the fence about buying the album.

& the hood single coming in some days will sell PF to the old Nicki fans.

+ "Monster" was just released as a single which will create MORE buzz.

& also CIO is about to blow up.

[Sammi]

I think Billboard forgot someone!

[Anthony K.]

My takes:

SuBo 650-700k
Taylor 550-600k
BEP 250-300k
Rihanna 200k
Kanye 400-450k
Nicki 70-120k

It's not official Beyoncé is gonna release this year, and personally I doubt she is.

But IF it happens...

Beyoncé 400-450k

not really since she isn't coming out for another 2 months

[Britneyfan09]

Kinda low sales for Nicki. But then when you consider she's a female rapper those numbers are pretty good.

Wow, her "significant lead" eroded pretty fast, then.

However, I won't take it to mean anything yet. The album isn't out for a good 6 weeks.
