Album Sales Jay-Z looking at 350k, Rae 60k. etc.

MaliQ · 09-09-2009, 04:23 PM

Rap icon Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3, the first release from his Roc Nation imprint through Atlantic Records, will debut at #1 on next week’s HITS album chart with a total between 300-350k.

That’s the word from those retailers still out there fighting the good fight by refusing to turn their fine establishments into medical marijuana dispensaries.

The Beatles’ stereo and mono box sets, as well as all the individual, re-mastered titles, hit the streets today from EMI Music, and initial reports have the box sets selling out at Amazon and other on-line retailers.

Next up on the debut list is IceH2O’s Wu Tang Clan member Raekwon with the sequel to his celebrated Only Built for Cuban Linx, distributed by Dominic Pandiscia’s EMI Label Services Group, which should be good for 55-60k.

Columbia’s Boston rockers Boys Like Girls are eyeing a debut in the 45-50k range, while Arista Nashville’s retiring country duo Brooks & Dunn go out with a greatest hits set in the 35-40k area. Virgin metallists Saosin’s In Search of Solid Ground should do 20-25k, while Tooth & Nail’s Thousand Foot Krutch is just behind with 15-20k.

The market was up 8% vs. last week, down 7% vs. same week last year and down 14% year to date.

...
jay could have a strong week ending tho, since the album got bumped up...

The Real K.I.N.G. · 09-09-2009, 04:30 PM

I'm pretty sure once Sept. 11 comes it will probably increase atleast 100-150k

Witty Qwan · 09-09-2009, 04:32 PM

gunitmovement2 · 09-09-2009, 05:57 PM

CALIOGKUSH · 09-09-2009, 05:57 PM

JAY-Z BETTER BUY 300k more R HE DOIN OFFICER RICKY # S

gunitmovement2 · 09-09-2009, 05:58 PM

if jay is real he should get rae on stage 11 sept.

BWS Pacific · 09-09-2009, 06:25 PM

50-60k for Indie, man thats fuking Good...Rae will reach around 100-150k, hit, he be getting huge money, its like 7 bux per album. Alot of people said that, not just Camron(Cube,JT Bigga Figga,WC,Styles).

Wow. He is almost getting a millie of album sales...

Jay? Trash.300k or so, He has posters around the whole world, here in australia, There is Blueprint 3 Posters all over, Even 50 cent Didnt allways have that, Commercials,Promo.

It aint bad numbers for 2009, but this aint no Wawyne or Em, and Em didnt have no Kaney and Rihanna spins on his record.Plus with all that huge Promo...He says He Dont Care for Sales, But Why the Huge Promo?Comon, What artist Dont Care about Sales?

Its ok thou, Jay Got his mark accross.Few Trash songs, few real good ones,kept it Hiphop and No Plies Trash shit apart from Jeezy, who rhymes worse than i am and i suck at rapping.

Lets Wait and See how Drake and Kudi Do.

@ Raekwon Numbers!

mikeymo · 09-09-2009, 06:46 PM

i hate to say this because im a big eminem fan but, jay's album shits on relapse!
thats just me though.....his album covers all bases

THA WEATHA MAN · 09-09-2009, 07:18 PM

I thought Jay would at least break 400k...

MrF50 · 09-09-2009, 07:32 PM

Jay should of did a millie ...

but with all the bootleg ....oh well

shit happens

C mac* $$$ · 09-09-2009, 07:48 PM

isn't that a flop?

if 50 do those number haters gon cum all over themselves

RickStyles · 09-09-2009, 07:58 PM

jay got the second highest hip hop numbers of the year so stfu with the ''flops'' blag blagfrk dfjdgujn

BWS Pacific · 09-09-2009, 08:04 PM

^^^Keisha Cole, Maxwell,Whitney Huston all Did that, WTF do u know you English Skinhead soccer fan...Go and Cut Wrists.

Not To mention that pople are forgetting that Jay Z is not just a normal rapper, he dont just get a rappers avarage budget...Kingdome Come Had 30 Million Dollars in Promo, thats more than a movie Budet, 30 MILLION.

If any rapper could have that, he woulda sold as much too. Jay Is doing this for fame, not for music. Coz if it was just music, he woulda released the album and not care to promote it much, but no, he is scared to Flop, not becoz heis loosing money, but becoz Of the backslash.

If he had an avarage budget, he would be doing 150-190k, and Hardly going Gold.But he is all over the Rhapsody, Commercials, TV etc.

JAY Z · 09-09-2009, 08:15 PM

350k just wait til sept. 11 come its go be 550k sold

RickStyles · 09-09-2009, 08:20 PM
