PLAY Sales Prediction Thread

[thinkingoutloud89]

I picked 700,000-800,000 but hope for more^^

[alt.total-loser]

I think 700,000 - 800,000.

I'm being a loser with this prediction, though, so...

[criminal]

I'm trying to be objective, so 400,000-500,000.

[fanmail]

500k - 600k ..... probably

[AyuGAME]

i think its about 400-500k
she can't get higher than that

[freedreamer]

i think 500-700 haha
i wanted to vote for 600-700 but not there

well..i think it would do as well as Ayu's Secret

why she can sell this much: coz she hasnt released for 2 years and people are hyped bout this

why she cant sell more: the material is so fresh and new...people need to get to used to it..esp. those who rarely listen to western music

[ayumisrael]

^Ummm well... I think it will go against her because as you see namie started with actual hip-pop syle songs with Style album which is her lowest selling album... and the album that was released before that was Break The Rules 3 years before (unless if you mention Love Enhanced which is a compilation)...
So I think it might be the same here =\...

[Uemarasan]

Not more than 500,000, unfortunately. Too bad, I think I like the album!

[kawaii_kisses]

Everyone is aiming way too high I think, there is no way the album will be over 450k. I predict 300-450k. LOL @ the votes over 600k.

[Alessia_Tateno]

Why? Queen of Hip Pop sold more than 450k...all her studio albums did except Style and Break the Rules

I agree, as Angela Aki's HOME was an enormous hit last year and sold almost 525k. This probably won't be that big, so I'm thinking it will be around 400k. At least I'm hoping for that. The industry has really gone down lately due to downloading, so it especially saddens me to see people in this and the Namie thread hoping for it to sell well when some of them aren't even going to buy it themselves

[Uemarasan]

It's really too bad this album won't sell more. The best original album to come out this year, personally.

Wow, Namie Amuro releases both the best single of the year (Baby Don't Cry) and the best album. She's my artist of the year so far

[ayumisrael]

^For me it's ayu's new single as the best single of the year (unless she'll have a better one), then it's kumi's BUT/aishou and then Baby Don't Cry, it's a really good single ^_^.

[Alessia_Tateno]

I want to hope it will sell well ^^ Actually around me a lot of people that didnt know her before is going to buy the album (I bought 4 copies, 1 for me, 1 for my sis and 2 for my friends), so I think it will sell *__*

Baby Don't Cry and BUT are the best singles of the year (Freaky too) but Glitter is so repetitive -.- too much like blue bird XD

Thank you! I completely agree with you about glitter. Baby Don't Cry is definitely the best single this year too, however, I would personally include Flavor of Life as second though. Freaky would probably be third.

[CREA.tive]

Around 500K-550K....it's still good.

[darkswordz]

150k-180k first week, 300k-400k in the long run with CD sales dropping, i feel that this would be the more reasonable range

LOL cool!

[summersnow]

voted 400k-500k.

but really hope it'll pass 500k. =)

it's really an awesome masterpiece by namie!

[Halla]

it'll sell less than 500 000, at most around 400 000.
