Contest: Predict the sales of '''Kingdom Come''' / Winner of 'Doctor's Advocate announced

November 22, 2006 8:14 p.m. by Dave Park
Although The Game didn't sell as many units as his first album The Documentary, his sophomore release Doctor's Advocate still moved an impressive 358,000 units to top the charts last week. More importantly this means that JDUB with a prediction of 350,000 is the winner of our Doctor's Advocate album sales and will receive $20 Amazon Gift Certificate.
If The Game moved 358K, how many will Jay-Z move? The marketing behind Kingdom Come has been nothing short of phenemonal with Hova appearing everywhere (Budweiser commercials, TNT NBA broadcasts, remixing/dissin' Ballin').
Contest:

  • Predict the first week album sales for Kingdom Come below in the comments.

  • Predictions after Monday (November 27 will be disqualified)


Prize:

  • $20 gift certificate to Amazon.com



*Check out the Week in Preview feature to see what else was released.
**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.)
***This contest is open to everyone including Prefix staffers.

dude is going to do 300,000 strong, not great and not bad. but weaker then expected only because the album has a very adult theme and feel to it. there's not enough comericial appeal (in the music) to get the kids of the US to go out and buy it. had he done a couple more poppy songs, probably would of done 500, 000 easily. but 300,000 will be it. the album is hot though, for those getting there grown man on.
November 25, 2006 at 2:48 a.m.

375K...as much as I hate to admit, Jay seems to be losing his flow and his age is showing in his lyrics. He's always bin known for his flow, style, and voice. On this new album, he sounds tired and gasps for breath a lot. He uses whispering more than ever.And I'm dissapointed that ppl like chamillionare, lupe fiasco, TI, or even diddy werent featured in any of his songs :S
November 28, 2006 at 3:20 p.m.

jay shit..lower then The Doctors Advocate..lets put it at that...

Sean Carter will sell 750,000 and jay z will sell 250,000 - making it a mill his first week. The album is hot he smashes dame, dipset and fifty and his crew. listen to the lyrics. when he whispers in one of his tracks it's not cause he's old and gaspin for breath it's a different style - this is for cornball dude who inquired. Dr. Dre did his thing with the MC hammer u cant touch this track - kingdome come. Game's album is hot, but he needs to be consistent so he can build up his fan base. Fifty is tired he doesn't have nothing to say and he messed up mobb deeps career with that stoopid track with nate dogg on it. the second verse on brooklyn high the comeback to balln', Jay couldve did better than that. jim jones comeback 1st verse was trash, juelz verse was better than his. on kingdome come 6 tracks were made in 04 - 05 peece out
November 29, 2006 at 1:26 p.m.

my guess is 680k.....
November 29, 2006 at 1:50 p.m.

680,000 copies
November 29, 2006 at 5:24 p.m.

[...] Thanks to all of you guys that participated in last week’s album sales contest. The winner and also the first person to enter with a guess of 678,000 is Nick Nogales. According to Billboard, Jay-Z sold 680,000 units which easily gave him the #1 spot for the week and the third highest first week sales this year, trailing Rascal Flatts (722,000) and Justin Timberlake (684,000). Impressive, but some people believe the sales are actually disappointing considering the marketing push the record had. [...]

I Think 130k-170k.
