    Yeezy definitely. But Nicki will still do incredibly well

  • slick

    1 when ye went head to head with fifty he sold 960,000 1st week
    2 on 808′s and heartbreaks he sold an album he hardly rapped on 3 if you want to hear the best verse of nickis life you gotta buy ye’s album cause it’s on monster 4 all that barbie hype aside kanye is light years ahead of her as an artist. the only thing stopping ye from outselling her is if white folks boycott his music behind that taylor swift shit

    Kanye’s Album Will Be Better,Who Cares About The Sales

  • eric

    Everyone knows Kanye West is going to sell more and he is at this present time both on Itunes and Amazon. its a wrap for lil mama seriously even her fans know that Kanye has this in the bag

  • Sha

    Truth time people.

    Kanye will be number one. I’m predicting 800-900K first week.

    Rhianna will be number two. Yep! I said it!

    Nicki will be three. I don’t see her numbers as impressively strong. She doesn’t have a single that is blazing up the charts. And the singles she does garner exposure on are with other artists. An established artist can sell records this way, but not a new comer. Minaj number 3!

    Lloyd Banks. Number 8 or 9. And that’s pushing it. I personally don’t think he will be above Kid Cudi this week. Cudi will outsell him. The problem with Lloyd is the G-Unit brand. It will be hard as hell to come out from under that stagnant labeling.

    • obanik

      backs! how the hell will kids cudi sell more this week than Banks, stupid…. i will be back to laugh in your face!

  • Jay Cole

      i also think banks should get more copies sold, but since hes more of the underdog you know i dont think he’ll get too much sales. but im definetly copin ye’s and banks album for sure.

  • Caine

    I was a little disappointed with Yeezy’s new album, so I hope Nicki wins. Her entire album did NOT disappoint. It’s barbie, bitch!

    And If You Think Im Lying Check Him Out!!! Yourselfhttp://www.facebook.com/LloydBanks?v=app_178091127385

  • cheeb

    Kanye well outsell everyone this week for following reasons:

    1) album is dope, cant deny the music.

    2) Amazon is selling the entire digital album for $3.99! You CANT beat that price! Like they are almost giving it away. Side note, I think digital albums should be $3.99-5.99 at most. There is no huge over head in terms of production, etc to justify anything close to that stupid $9.99 model. Kanye probably will sell around 500-900K

    3) Niki album isnt that great & plus her best verse to date is on Kanye’s album on Monster. Girls will be her albums so I would put it around 300-450K

    4) Banks album was boring… Hooks sucked balls. I’d be surprised if he moves more than 250K & thats being generous.

  • Cliff

    WTF Nicki will sell more than Kanye?? NEVAEVA!!!

    Kanye will out sell Nicki Minaj. She’s not a good rapper anyway the only reason she got all this buzz is b/c she is publicly gay and represents herself as a barbie so the women will go get it. Kanye dont need all that to sell his Power video is basically a moving photograph he doesnt move at all and he’s is going to push at least 500,000 if not way more than that.

    Lloyd Banks got did wrong b/c ppl have been going to buy his album for 40% of stores does not have his album and his fans are complaining.
