Contest: Predict sales of 'FutureSex / LoveSounds'

After taking a quick scan over Prefix last night, I realized we only had four pictures of Justin Timberlake up on the home page at that moment. Given the lack of JT coverage, we've decided to hold a little contest. There are tons of anticipated albums coming out this week* but it's clear Timberlake's going to be #1 when it debuts. How many copies will actually sell though?
Make your predictions in the comments below. Predictions after Friday will be disqualified. When the soundscan data comes out next week, we will announce a winner**. What exactly do you win? How about a $20 gift certificate to Amazon.com. Make sure you put your correct email address in the box when commenting though since that's where I'll be emailing the code for the certificate if you win.
Stream 'FutureSex / LoveSounds'
*Check out the Week in Preview feature for previews of 17 of this week's biggest releases.
**Whoever is closest to actual sales figures from Soundscan. No Price is Right rules in effect (i.e. you can still win if your guess is over the actual sales figures.)
***Note that this contest is open to everyone including Prefix staffers.

[...] Most of the guesses in our “Predict sales of '''FutureSex / LoveSounds'''” contest were pretty close, but Kahlil’s estimate of 685,500 was the closest to Justin Timberlake’s actual first week sales of 684,000 copies. Kahlil, your $20 gift certificate should be arriving in your email box tonight assuming you gave us your real email address when you commented. Congrats! [...]

[...] While posting that Lupe Fiasco video I started wondering how Lupe’s sales must be doing this week. Then I was scrolling down the Prefix home page and stopped at the sight of angry Justin Timberlake. Man, JT looked pissed. He was probably miffed he only sold 684,000 copies of FutureSex/LoveSounds or perhaps he was angry that I forgot to post a follow-up to last week’s contest.
