This is the only reason I believe Ye has a chance to put up numbers around 600K-750K
The rave reviews have been stockpiling up.

That being said, 500k is GREAT.

what hits did Drake have? Find Your Love? Runaway is arguably bigger due to the TV performances and the movie...

Find Your Love and Over were far bigger than what Runaway is.

Runaway is huge, that track put him on everyones radar. I was listening to the Howard Stern show and he even said he liked the song. When a Hip Hop song gets to that level it is huge.

Each year's benchmark goes lower and lower... Theres gonna be a time where Kanye might slightly top out at Gold.

Kanye will never struggle to sell albums......

• Kanye 800k
• Nicki 250k
• Neyo 85k
• Banks........... Had to google him to see if he actually had an album dropping

Kanye - 400,000 He MIGHT BARELY pass 500,000.

Nicki Minaj - I expect her to sell around the same units as ye. Maybe more, she's been on more stuff than Kanye including Kanye's own stuff. Plus she has a song with Em....that automatically boosts sales.

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.
