Robin Thicke releases his seventh album Paula next week, which leads to the possibility that people might actually buy it. (I remain unconvinced~) No hit single this time, just an entire tracklist dedicated to his estranged wife.

 

The facts:

-Blurred Lines debuted at #1 with 177,000 copies sold in its first week. To date it has sold 736,000 copies.

-His album before that, Love After War, sold 41,000 in its first week, typically good for top ten but it charted at #22 due to its December release date.

-Lead single 'Get Her Back' has minimal airplay and remains overshadowed by 'Blurred Lines' and '4 The Rest Of My Life' in terms of audience impressions.

 

Other July 1st releases:

SEETHER ISOLATE & MEDICATE

TREY SONGZ TRIGGA

BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS LEGEND: 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

BON JOVI NEW JERSEY: 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

MAGIC! DON'T KILL THE MAGIC

 

Predict Paula's:

1) Opening chart position

2) First-week sales

3) Second-week chart position

Oh God :lol: 'Get Her Back' is at the very least not completely dead, it's #222 on iTunes right now. And the pre-order is a somewhat impressive #78!

 

I think the album is not going to perform as embarrassingly as we might expect. I'll expect a disappointingly successful début in the top 10 (#9 perhaps), with about 35k sales (much like J.Lo). Drop to #50 next week and out of the chart in a month.

Yeah I expect it'll be top 10 :P I'll say #6 on 45K sales, then #21 the week after.

I really really really want it to crash in at like #120 though :( I have faith the UK will be more heartless with him.

Number 9 with a 20k sales on opening week. Number 92 the following week with a massive 80% decline.

 

Riser - Those pizza photos look delicious!!! I'm hungry now.
