"Bad Meets Evil" First Week Sales Prediction

Bad Meets Evil, the EP collabo from Eminem and Royce Da 5'9 will hit stores tomorrow, June 14, and i want to make my own predictions on what it would sell after a week out. There are some websites that get the daily sales of album directly from "Soundscan", and they usually go ahead to use the first day sales to predict what it would sell in a week, but i am not going to do that. I basically want to use my experience, from years and years of watching how albums do, commercially.

So, if you ask me, i would say the EP would sell between 80,000-170,000. I live room for plus or minus, but it cannot be far from that range. Why? I am sure you would ask me. First of all, eminem is a high seller, and this EP is almost a masterpiece. You see i said almost. It is made up of 9 tracks, and the intro would just blow you away, but there are some weak songs in there...maybe like 3. But the rest are just fantastic. I mean, eminem and royce go back to back like they have always been in a group together or something.

This prediction numbers is what a hot album would sell at this moment in hiphop, and this is just an EP, but you know Eminem is in a league of his own. The first week sales of his last album, Recovery was over 700k first week, but EP's don't sell as much as albums, and collabo projects even sell lower, that is why i put it that lower than a normal first week opening for an eminem album.

So, let us watch and see if i am right or wrong. But, i would say that it might sell more than that if they dropped a video for one of the tracks on the album. But that hasn't happened yet, and the EP drops tomorrow, so my prediction is still on point. But, it would eventually sell a lot of copies if they can drop a video for the track they did with Bruno Mars- Lighters. It might eventually make it to about 800k-1,000,000 copies over all sales.
