He surpassed my predictions then.
-
no fuckin way................. well thats good fuckin news maybe Game can set-up the west
-
He surpassed my predictions then.
mine too. This almost guarantees that his album will be one of the Top 5 Rap albums of the year in terms of sales. When's the last time that happened?
-
This is great news...he'll be platinum by the 3rd week :)
-
hey maybe first or second week
it's damn near sold out everywhere here and every store at least gets 200-220 copies shipped on a major release date
-
damn on pace for 400 to 500 k with just how we do as a single thats crazy
when are the dropping the next single is it dreams ??? that should guarantee platinuim plus
-
i think the words 'dr. dre' and 'protege' have a lot to do with this.
good for game hope he debuts at no.1
Next week, it’s all about G Unit/Aftermath/Interscope hip-hop star The Game, whose Documentary is on pace to sell 400k in its first seven days, based on early reports from retailers nationwide. Now, depending whether the frigid cold in the midwest and east coast keeps buyers out of stores, we’ll see if it can reach 500k.
peace

damn congrats to game i wonder what the final numbers will be

thats good news

First Monster Release of the Year’s a Smash for New G-Unit/Aftermath Star
January 19, 2005
He’s got his game face on. His game is tight. He’s got game... Play with the name all you want, but as of today, The Game is most definitely a winner.
According to early reports from national accounts, after one day on sale, the G-Unit/Aftermath/Interscope rapper’s The Documentary is on track to sell upwards of 600k in its first week. Sounds like he can buy Boardwalk and Park Place.
Some stock issues have been reported, but they are evidently being handled quickly, and no shortages are expected for the remainder of the week. The bitter cold currently gripping the Midwest and East Coast, however, could possibly dampen sales if it gets worse and people stay away from stores, but as of now retailers say it doesn’t look like a big factor.
Next week, it’ll be Kenny Chesney’s turn to wow ’em, as the cowpoke unleashes his Jimmy Buffet-inspired “Guitars and Tiki Bars” country-star-on-vaction sound. Observers say not to expect Be As You Are (BNA), which is reportedly quite a departure from Chesney’s other work, to sell his usual half-million in its first week, since it’s so different. But then again, it’s Kenny Chesney, so don’t count him out.
Meanwhile, the market for recorded music in the U.S. continued to take its post-holiday dump last week, slumping another 9.6% (1 million units) compared to the week before, and falling off the pace set in the same week last year by 8.6% (900k units). For the still-young new year as a whole, sales are off 19.7% (5 million units) compared to the same point last year.
Interestingly, though last week sucked sales-wise, with only 9.6 million albums moved, it didn’t suck as bad as the week ended Feb. 4, 1996 (8.9 million) or the week ended Jan. 26, 2003 (9.4 million), still the two worst sales weeks on record since the folks who tally such things started keeping track.

-
game is getting huge promotion from MTV. you see them promoting the album everytime the credits on a show roll up. they start talking about documentary, so thats about every half an hour i see promotions for the album.
-

-
i wonder how he'll sell in europe the first week...
It'll probably not be half as good as you'd have expected on forehand, since the cd is only slowly becoming available...
