Believe it or not.....in this day and age where Kanye rules all around and even I forgot about GNR....I'm gonna say 825,000 copies in the first week. Is that counting Sunday to Sunday or Tuesday to Sunday. Because I heard it actually dropped on the 23rd of November (Sunday) as opposed to the normal Tuesday release for all new music. Oh well.

Ayo....thats my comment up there...can I be credited with that one? I wrote it then registered thinking it would attach ot to my account...if not I still say 825,000 copies then. lol
I think it will be number two and sell 1,000,023.
#2 @ 675,00
#2, 495,000, but i think it will make a longer run.

GNR what a cool record Love "Better" Axl is a mad genius! Debuts at #2 with 492000 sold

deserves it too!
kids..it's not 1987 or 1991
this is real art & such talented musicians
and people who contributed. I'm shocked.
I thought he'll flop.
I can't stop listening to this CD.
btw..DJ's in L.A are already playing the vinyl in clubs!
Gabriella K
Fuk yeah!!!! this is an album only
true music lovers can appreciate.
This is Axl's finest crescendo moment.
Congrats to the higly educated, talented
folks involved in this long adventure.
one thing Axl..is that your hair?
It must hurt to sleep in, yes? (soory to ask personal q)
But, you do look sexy. Men get better after 40.

Because of it's weird release date, thus not being able to be indcluded on a week until that of dec 1st I say 3rd with 250,000 units sold, or there abouts.
Mandela
oh, and the album is decent. Even if it had come out in 1996, when it's sound was relevant, though, the album still would have been lesser than Sound Garden's Down on the Upside.
Mandela
probably about 450-460 k. 2nd place to Kanye, because people don't appreciate talent.
Ryan
i just listened to the new kanye album and it is a complete waste of the cd's they were printed on..And I liked the previous cd's. The GNR CD I can't seem to stop playing though...much better than anticpated 650,000 first week sales
eric
i think it will be $901,000
Way too late bro.
