"Hello" could be big. IF they put it out. Jimmy Iovine doesn't appear to like Game very much, probably still over the 300 Bars era. Just like when LAX dropped, "Camera Phone" had hit single written all over it, then it was placed on the bonus disc (wtf) then released as a single 5 months after My Life blew up (another head scrather-since when do labels not follow up hit singles?). We shall see tho
Is this even official? While I agree if true, it's nothing to place him in the discussion of someone like Jay or Kanye - but didn't Lil Wayne's last album do around 100k first week?As someone said, I feel "Hello" can definitely blow up if pushed. But it's gotta be in the next 6-8 weeks if there's any hope in it transferring to album sales.I'll bet this ends up doing more like 125k first week. Pretty damn good for an artist who was silent to the mainstream for 3 years and really got minimal buzz for the album.
Flop or is that okay considering the fact the album had no buzz or radio play? Actually these numbers are higher then I expected. I was thinking 60k, I think Game needs to pop out a greatest hits (but does he have enough good tracks for that) and bounce from interscope and try to re-establish himself somewhere else. Maybe e1 or some indy and take what little star power he has left and start putting out these BWS acts...

higher than expected...i think 70-75 is more likely..i also expect this to stall at about 300-350, since like someone mentioned, interscope doesnt seem to really care about game..
This is only Game's 2nd Interscope album.
