Hunter has pushed through to success on Country and with some additional cross-over success. A lot of people have followed Hunter around here because he really started getting traction around the time Scotty won and people wondered if there was room for two teen country males (traditionally, there hasn’t been much room for even one). He is currently in 5th with almost 30K in sales, so it will be interesting to see who wins this prediction battle. BB predicts he’ll end the week in 5th, but HDD has him further back around 9th. Hunter Hayes album re-release is set to debut selling around 35K. This R&B artist first got her start as part of Destiny’s Child and is predicted to debut with 60K. Rounding out the Urban juggernaut is X-Factor judge, Kelly Rowland.
J COLE BORN SINNER ALBUM SALES MAC
If Mac can hit the 100K mark, that will be the first time since Thanksgiving that three acts have moved over 100K in the same week. That’s a drop-off from 144K with his last album. Pittsburgh Rapper Mac Miller is predicted to debut in third this week in about the 100K range. If these predictions hold up, Kanye and J will have the second and third biggest openings of the year. While his previous album opened at number 1 with 217K sold, this one is predicted to 270K-290K (and possibly even 300K). “Born Sinner” is the Hip-Hop artists second album and it is predicted to see an uptick in sales from his first album. Granted that last album was released during Black Friday week and actually had a lead-off single, so the sales drop is not unexpected. This new album is predicted to sell anywhere from 330K-385K (BB predicts 330K-340K, HITS 360K-385K). This will be the 6th number one album for the mic-grabbing rapper, but it features a considerable sales drop from his last album which sold only a little bit South of 500K (496K). His baby naming skills may not be a hit, but his album is. Leading the charge and should be coasting to an easy victory, is North West’s Dad, Kayne. With just over half (50.65%) of reports in, the top of the chart is dominated by Urban artists debuting new CDs.
