I don't care if you don't want a #1 in America. I sure as hell want A Bigger Bang to go to #1.
Is there any chance that they can sell more records than Kanye West in his second week of sales?
How many records sold will it take to go to #1 in America?
How many albums will West sell in his second week of sales?
If West sells say 600,000 his first week it is likely he will sell around 315,000-350,000 the second week. Can the Stones top that?
I want a number 1 in the USA.

Jeezus is that what the kids are buying these days? I don't really care who is buying what next week. When they say they are going to release a deluxe DVD edition around Christmas then I gotta wonder what releases are going to totally rule around the holidays. Did the new Ren And Stimpy DVD set come out yet? WHat the hell am I gonna want for Christmas by then? Another cruel cynical joke they tried to put right in my face when there are so many other concert tickets and CD/DVD releases on the way. |

This week the US #1 album sold 100,000 copies, Aug. 23 was the right date, the Stones would be easily at #1 today. Another bad move from Virgin, the same happened with 40 Licks. Wrong release dates.
Kanye West will sell between 800-850k the first week, and half of that the second week. I don't think that ABB will get more than 200-250k the first week, my prediction now is #3 bucause 50 Cent will sell a lot too. |

At this point it doesnt matter who is #1 next week. Its always flukes and one hit wonders who have higher chart positions than the Stones. None of them (other than Elton John in 94) have consistently held high chart positions throughout an extended period of time. The Stones legacy has nothing to do with whatever arbitary method Billboard is using to calculate ranking on their charts. |

Stones drop off pretty quickly after the first 2 weeks. |

Release dates shift around from week to week. There's no sure-fire of pegging an album to a soft sales window. |

Do you think West will sell that many?
I don;t think he's in the same league as 50 Cent or Eminem. Also I don't think the 50 Cent Reissue will do that well. It's nowhere near the top ten at Amazon. |

Kanye is currently #1 at amazon.com. ABB is #6. |

From HitsDailyDouble:
"Fans Flock to Retail to Grab Up the Follow-up to Kanye West’s 2004 Breakthrough.
The college dropout has graduated magna cum laude, with early returns of Kanye West’s just-released Late Registration indicating the album will reack up a first-week tally north of 800k, with a real shot at 850k." |

I agree with Dan. It's always the one-hit wonders but they "will never compare to the stones'legacy". Then again, who really cares... I've never heard of Kayne West untill now. Is he a country singer? |

Hip hop/R&B. Don't know if he's any good but probably not. |

Status has never interested me. The only copy I'm concerned about is mine. |

Gee against 50 cents huh?....We're fucked...lmao...Watch out though with all the marketing going on with NFL/NASCAR etc this album is goin to have legs...First because it has many strong tracks ans as tour progresses we'll see just how great this album is.Remember the true test of a Stones song is how it sounds live...ABB may not make any #1's but I predict it will be their biggest seller of all time... |
