Contest: Predict the sales of Graduation

Well, we can't have an album sales contest for 50 Cent and not have one for Kanye. We're tempted to also have one for Kenny Chesney, but he's not exactly Prefix's demographic. Kanye has probably made the headlines more than any other rapper since his last album Late Registration came out, but will he outsell 50?
Take a guess at where Kanye West's latest effort Graduation will end up on the charts along with the number of albums he will sell (the latter will be the tie-breaker). Winner gets the $20 gift certificate to Amazon.
Contest:

  • Predict in the comments where Kanye West's new album, Graduation, will chart, as well as how many copies will sell during the first week.

  • Predictions after Saturday (September 15, 2007 will be disqualified)


Prize:

  • $20 gift certificate to Amazon.com



Other major releases include new efforts from Animal Collective, Black Elephant (Prince Paul), Black Lips, Dirty Projectors, Go! Team and Qui. Check out Prefix's Week in Preview to read the previews.
Additional Notes:
*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.
Stumble It!
