I dont think he will either. If he gets close its still a win. I bet he does 650K and that would still make him the highest 1st week selling rapper this year right?

Yup. I mean, he'll do numbers. Just not THAT much.

 

[Lab Baby]

As long as he on MTV gigglin and falling off skateboards to appease his white audience he will stay afloat..

RT Jay z is gonna look weak coming out of this if Wayne sell more then him first week and then has a song on his CD going on him like that. Wayne made sure he was gonna get publicity for this album.

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

Good for Wayne.

 

[Mvpbrodie93]

700,000 the first week

OK, let's look at '08 and beyond

I'll give you C3, that album was a commercial monster. But...

496k 1st week with MBDTF>>>>>>> 200k combined 1st wk with Rebirth and Human Being (granted he was in jail when it came out, but Pac did the same #s with one album in jail, and outsold both in a year... oh, and Human Being was re-released when he got out)

And Waynes total sales since '09 (including the YM album) BARELY outsells MBDTF

You're missing some facts.

1) MBDTF had major promo from Kanye closing the VMA's, opening the BET Awards, and having a 30 minute commercial (the Runaway mini movie) air on all the major music networks. Wayne's two projects were pretty much side projects that still sold with nowhere near the promo.

2) Comparing Pac's sales in '96 to current sales is laughable. That's two completely different climates.

3) Carter IV is the first real Wayne album since Carter 3.

this will hurt jay cuz jay cares about "sales" to him it's a measure of who is the hottest in the game

to be outsold by wayne on a record dissin him will get under his skin, i expect him to reply to the shots fired to him and his wife

 

[georgia boi]

I'm not a Wayne fan, but looking at the charts, Wayne is on 10% of the hits on the Hot 100. A couple of those are in the Top 10 and are his songs. He has the streets and the mainstream audience. To say 825K is out of reach for Wayne is laughable at this point. Buzz means nothing for someone's that established with hit records that are currently on the charts. Buzz is only the end all be all for new and upcoming artists.

Sold more than Em? Baby better stop buying his artist shit

[dreadlock rasta]

A million sold, first day, i went gold, how do i celebrate?.....Work on the Carter 4

 

[thesynthesis]

and anyone thinking birdman is buying his own music is ridiculous,

if niggas cud do that jay, kanye and 50 wud just buy themselves up to a plat record

wayne has a huge audience, he has them lil girls on lock, skater boys and niggas too,

jay and kanye sold they soul for WTT to appeal to 60 year old Norwegians (as young guru stated)

like it or not niggas still want to hear some "hip hop" sounding records with an edge

i'm glad wayne dissed jay and his bitch, it'll make victory taste even more good lmaooo

 

[thewave19]

^lol why would they buy up to plat? if you buy enough to go almost gold the first week and just enough to like 600 the 2nd week. how long will it take to just past 1 mil? ppl see the numbers which makes the hype even greater

you honestly believe 50 sold 1.4 in 4 days all from fans?

come on man, stop being gullible

“Talkin’ about baby money, I got your baby money, kidnap your bitch, get that how much you love your lady money/ I know you fake ni**a, press your brakes ni**a/ I’ll take you out, that’s a date, ni**a,” - wayne shittin on jay and his blonde wife

jay taking his anger out on kanyes piano instead of defending his wife's honor

sorry to say, em and the likes of wayne have huge fanbases.....these niggas sell out tours in 20 secs, the crowd they appeal to have "money" to spend.

nobody buying birdmans albums, he still goes wood, as did jay seans, etc....

yall gotta stop making excuses and deal with the facts,
