First week sales definitely don't mean everything, but for the last few years, they are a major indicator of how much buzz a particular artists has, and most albums nowadays never sell more than they do in that first week afterwards.
So with that...how good do you think 40's album is going to do in the first week? To me, any album that has regular mainstream promotion should go 100-200 K, with anything over 200 K being pretty good. Anything with a whole lot of major hype, such as Game, 50 albums, Eminem, Dre, etc. should do 600+. I think 40's got pretty good promotion and hype, but nothing comparable to those that do 600+. I would say anything 150+ is good, and I am expectin around 180 K to 200 K. Anything over 300 K would have me suprised, and anything under 120 would be disappointing to me.
