Thread: Untitled 1st Week Sales Prediction

200-300k is likely, probably low 200's.

200-300k This album didn't have any promotion, first single didn't blow up like it should. No 2nd single officially released. The whole project just fucked up by Jive if you ask me. Kells will sell cause of his strong fanbase. If they did the same job like with "Double Up" i think it would be 400k

200-300k...but i pray for 300k+

Are all these iTunes pre-orders going for the 1st week sales ?

imma say about 200 - 300 k... i pray it does better but one possitive is it didnt get leaked as early as say 50 cent so some people might not be aware.. and another thing is that most of Kellz major fans are not on the internet downloading music as much as say a fan of the young cats in the game... i pray he does better than my prediction tho cuz the cd is stra8 fire!!!! the snippets never do his music justice.... im definitly buyin @ least 3 copies on tuesday...

Yeah all itunes sales goes to the album sales

i'm really sorry guys, but i think a lot of you are just out of the loop. I'm here because I love kellz just like you guys do. But he is not going to sell 300k in the first week, i'll fall out of my seat. Keep in mind MARIAH ONLY SOLD 160K. The emancipation of mimi was a monster album and usually when a album does amazing, the follow up has high sales. 50 cent sold 161k copies and debut @ #5 !!!! You know ?? We need to ask ourselves to be honest here. We are all groupies of Rob no doubt, but some people here saying 400k copies? Are you guys nuts? Other than "R" has rob ever moved that many in a week ? WE ALL LOVE THE MAN, BUT WE NEED TO BE REAL WITH OURSELVES

Yeah the highest he's moved a week was 538k I believe with Chocolate Factory and almost the same for TP2...but that was like in his peak, than Happy People 420k, TP3, 490k Double Up 386K

i say 100-200. high 100s. he might be able to scrape into the 200s though.


Even though Mariah had low first week sales with this album someone like her has more of a marathon rather than a sprint in terms of sales. R. Kelly usually sells big in the first week.

I think TP2 (532K i think) had the record for thie highest debut by a male R&B artist until ruben came with 600,000+. Chocoalte Factory (529K i think) And then Tp3 done 491K i think.

Those were the good old days... everybodies talking 'bout the good old days "Gotham City (Remix)"....

How much did R. sell first week?

^^^Usher currently holds the record now with 1 Million first week for Confessions The R. Sold 200 and something first week because when Double Up came out Billboard said that was R. Kelly's lowest numbers since R. album... and I just read in the billboards thread that Double Up had debuted on the charts a week earlier because the stores had started selling it a week earlier than it was released he so you can say he did over 400k with the last release. But it's still was a Number One album
