I'd be shocked. I think Nicki is pushed bigger than she really is. She's pushed like she has Drake buzz and maybe she does but with her singles I expected them to reach a lot higher than they did on the charts for someone with her hype.

Neyo- Don't care. I'll throw in a number though. 150,000

Lloyd Banks - I actually think Banks is gonna be the biggest surprise. He's moving 150,000 ALONE off his core fan base. Add in the fans he got with the 5 mixtapes he dropped in a row and his street singles....I expect around 250, - 350,000 units sold.
You ask the average fan of music when Lloyd Banks album is dropping they'll ask you "Who is Lloyd Banks?" On EMI he'll sell 35 to 50k. Banks might see 150k total like Raekwon did on Built 4 Cuban Linx 2.

it's true though.  what's gonna be the succesful radio single that pushes it to 350,000?

and don't say start it up

I don't know why or when dudes started thinking Banks really had buzz. At his peak with Beamers, Benz and Bentley he still wouldn't have cleared 70k.

Banks does have buzz. Maybe its because I live in NYC but EVERYONE kept talking about the Banks album. I don't know where ya live but Banks has ALWAYS been gettin love from everywhere.

BBB was arguably the biggest song of the summer. Countless remixes. Everyone got on that beat. Start it up is another Banger. I'm expecting him to have surprise hits off this album. Just watch.

  
Yea its a NY thing because of NY nobody is really checking for a Banks album.

im not even sure why people still focus on sales... its bad enough the quality of the music nowadays is at an all time low compared to how good the music was when albums were actually doing major numbers.im satified when good material sells but at the same time im satisfied when good material is put out [even if it doesnt sell] amongst all this trash ... #justmythoughts

No need to be sarcastic.

You were the one that came into a thread about sales and voiced that you don't understand why people still focus on them.

He just stated the obvious.
