Contest: Predict the album sales of Kanye's 808s & Heartbreak

November 22, 2008 5:31 a.m. by Dave Park

Can Kanye top the sales of Graduation? Is he the biggest star in hip-hop right now? If he moves over one million units the first week that 808s & Heartbreak is released, will his ego get even bigger? These are just some of the questions that could be answered next week.

 

It's a monster week of releases this week and we're holding album sales contests for four of the biggest albums (Day & Age, 808s & Heartbreak, Theater of the Mind, Chinese Democracy) hitting the store shelves.

 

The prize is a $20 Amazon gift certificate and bragging rights for the week. Please note that only registered users will be in the running.

 

Contest:
  • Predict in the comments where Kanye West's new album, 808s & Heartbreak, will chart.
  • Also predict how many copies of 808s & Heartbreak will be sold during its first week.
  • Predictions after Sunday (November 30, 2008 will be disqualified). 

Prize:
  • $20 gift certificate to Amazon.com

Additional Notes:
*Check out the Week in Preview feature to see what else was released.
**Whoever correctly guesses where Kanye West chart and is closest to actual sales figures from Soundscan wins. No Price Is Right rule in effect (i.e. you can still win if your guess is over the actual sales figures.)
***This contest is open to everyone, including Prefix staffers.

****If you are not registered on the site, your entry will be disqualified.
