Lil Wayne and Lamar with 500k

No. Literally no way they will reach that high.

women and gay men aren't the only people who buy music

[NewYorkCity 10,530]

No way.

[Stefani328 321]

I think all of those numbers are too high.

[GreenEyes 1,030]

Rap albums do not sell that high. Unless you're Eminem, and I didn't say that did I?

Don't put words in my mouth.

[Paper Planes 340]

Most of those are very inflated... I could see Kanye and Taylor reaching their expected numbers, but definitely not Lamar and Lil Wayne. One Direction could pull a large number in though, too.

Don't put words in my mouth.

Rap albums always sell that high, especially from well known rappers

[Henry 2,374]

[Cody Draco 2,531]

Inflation is real.

[Vernier 3,786]

I'd be very surprised if those numbers were true :duck:

[ALX 170]

Jason Aldean is overestimated, Garth Brooks is SERIOUSLY underestimated given his selling power over his entire career and the interest in his comeback

Kendrick posted close to 250,000 in first week despite being relatively unknown in rap

 

Do not underestimate his sales

[Jjang 2,262]

*1M... insane.

[Redstreak 6,653]

If Taylor gets 3 consecutive albums to push 1 mil in their opening week... :cry:

 

 

[Noel Kahn 2]

Extra note on Taylor:

 

If you think it's impossible for her to get a third consecutive one million opening week, I suggest you start reading about how intense she's promoting the album. 

[Neptune 156]

'Merica

[Jewels n Drugs 4,629]

Taylor always has flawless first week sales :legend:
