Nas will debut at #1 on next week's chart, giving Def Jam two titles in the Top 5. Frank Ocean, in his first week of wide release (sans Target), is being featured for $2.99 in Amazon MP3 store. Because of SoundScan rules limiting the pricing to no less than $3.49 in the first four weeks of release, these sales will not count on that chart. Our current projection does not include these sales. *Nas (Def Jam/IDJ) 125-135k Zac Brown Band (Atlantic) 70-80k *Kidz Bop Kids (Razor & Tie) 60-65k Frank Ocean (Def Jam/IDJ) 40-45k (Weakend Chart Preview)
Actually, as a Nas fan for over 13 years now, I was really disappointed with the first sales projections of the album I read. His last album, Untitled (2008), did 187k in its first week 4 years ago, and that didn't have as much promotion as this album. Nas has done everything from appearing in a Nicki Minaj video to having CNN interview him, and everything in-between. And with all the praise the album is getting on twitter, I really thought it would at least hit 200k. Maybe all those people downloaded it illegally.
Anyway, I am a bit happier with this increase in projections. I think if it would make it to like 150k first week, it would be cool. I know he would sell over 200k worldwide. He has a lot of oversees fans.
