Contest: Predict the album sales of The Game's LAX

August 26, 2008 3:21 a.m. by Dave Park
We haven't held an album sales contest in a while, but The Game's new album LAX is a good one to come back with. There doesn't seem to be much competition for The Game this week, but album sales in general have been down this year.

 

Predict how many copies of LAX will sell in its debut week. 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.

 

Also, enter the album sales contest for Young Jeezy's The Recession.

 

Contest:
  • Predict in the comments where The Game's new album, LAX, will chart, as well as how many copies will sell during the first week.
  • Predictions after Sunday (August 31, 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 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.

Not enough advertising and hype here in the UK which is annoying...Amazing album, deserves a Milli....but I hope the high end..800k
August 28, 2008 at 10:03 a.m.

100,000 all bought buy himself!! This album is one of the worst i have ever heard, Is it meant to be a joke??

90,000
August 28, 2008 at 1:03 p.m.

LOL at this g-unit stan saying this is one of the worst albums he's ever heard. have you listened to TOS or Curtis? I bet you thought those were great? You are the joke.

I say 270,000
August 28, 2008 at 4:29 p.m.

1,345,000 copies worldwide in the us alone 875,000 in its first week.

not sure but i herd he reached half a million already in its third day.
August 28, 2008 at 6:14 p.m.

1,123,000 first week. at least 5 millions total.

By the way...it's only out since the 26...2 days...!
August 28, 2008 at 9:05 p.m.

unfortunately i dont think theres been enough advertising and none of the singles so far have blown up. i say it will sell 90,000 first week. in a perfect world it would be 1,100,000 just more than wayne. but that aint gonna happen. true classic hip hop album niggas. cop it.
August 28, 2008 at 9:40 p.m.

"L.A.X." will definitely not sell as much as "The Documentary" that's for sure...so I would say 100k lol...Can't wait for 50's new album!
August 28, 2008 at 9:57 p.m.

#1 with 420, 500 sales during the first week.
August 29, 2008 at 2:57 a.m.

ur all f'kin delusional if you think it will sell above 300 K first week.

i'd say 225 k
August 29, 2008 at 8:36 a.m.

August 29, 2008 at 3:15 p.m.

Games the best rapper atm, so ideally over 500k, but i think 320k
August 29, 2008 at 4:46 p.m.

Not a lot of advertizing, but I think one people realize its on the shelves and ppl figure out how hot this album is it will take 1 mil total in like 3 weeks. but first week sales probably 270k
August 29, 2008 at 7:26 p.m.

FIRST OF ALL GAME IZ GONA SELL BIG! ILL SAY MORE THEN A MILLL! FUKKK THE HATERS! G-UNOT! FUKK 50! YEA BITCH! **********

August 30, 2008 at 6:11 p.m.

LOL at some of the lower predictions, LAX sold sold 130,000 copies on iTunes on the morning of August 26 ALONE, JUST IN THE MORNING OF AUGUST 26th AND JUST ON I-TUNES... I wouldn't be surprised if it sells 691,000 copies in the first week alone (matching 50 Cents sales figures of the first week for Curtis)
August 30, 2008 at 6:11 p.m.

I predict the album will chart at number one with 1.5 million copies sold. Since it is his last album and it was sold out at BEST BUY which usually has like 20 or 21 albums , i think it will go platinum at the least. And also i bought one todaY! so yeah hopefully i'm right cuz i want that AMAZON GIFT CARD!!!!!

this is a westcoast classic for sure!! ITS GAME TIME!!
August 31, 2008 at 5:08 a.m.

1 050 000+ 1st week
August 31, 2008 at 11:22 a.m.

Gold in first week,f--k all dem haters he is a dope boy
August 31, 2008 at 1:08 p.m.

The push backs going to hurt it but with Tracks like Dope Boyz and My Life plus Game's Pain & the Rmx have been pretty heavy and solid tracks.....thinking anywhere from 285,000-320,000 1st week

if not for the push backs prolly would be looking @ 385,000-415,000 first week

Gold in 2wks...Prolly platnium by top of the 3rd month of release....still better than T.O.S
August 31, 2008 at 6:37 p.m.

#2 With 211,000 copies sold!
August 31, 2008 at 6:37 p.m.

The Game will sell exactly 322,000 in the first week.
Will go platinum in 2 months though!
August 31, 2008 at 8:58 p.m.

i hope over 1,000,000
i think 999,999
hahaha
LAX, the best album this year!
August 31, 2008 at 8:58 p.m.

around 350K I'd say, which is clearly better than T.O.S
August 31, 2008 at 8:58 p.m.

L.A.X=AMAZING ALBUM! Im going for 865,000 first week in USA 1,130,000 world wide
August 31, 2008 at 11:48 p.m.

its the so i thinks he gon' sell bout 375k the first week. ye in all prolly a mill
September 1, 2008 at 12:02 a.m.

i think about 280,000
September 1, 2008 at 3:07 a.m.

The Games best Album yet.. I think its going to sell close to a mill if not a mill First week. but yeah IT already beat g-units garbage cd days (first week) first morning just on itunes alone.
September 1, 2008 at 10:36 a.m.

People actually think it's gonna sell more than 500k.. That's IMPOSSIBLE idiots..

I think it will sell 270k..

And it's a lame album.. That album and T.O.S. are both challenging for WORST album of the year..

All you gay boys only like it for the beats.. Game got no lyrics.
September 1, 2008 at 10:36 a.m.

Over half a mill anyway, i think between 700,000 and 500,000. Some of these answers are just stupid. Joung Jeezys album (the recession) is out 2moro which will slow his second week sales.
September 1, 2008 at 10:36 a.m.

Great album. All I know is he will debut at number 1 which is more than what other rappers besides Lil Wayne have been doing. He should put up great numbers because it is an unbelievable album. But considering album sales these days its hard to tell.
September 1, 2008 at 10:36 a.m.

270,298
September 1, 2008 at 10:36 a.m.

Games Best album was Documentary don't deny it this will sell around 400k first week really good for summer sales.
September 1, 2008 at 1:43 p.m.

He is only sitting at 200k right now barely
September 1, 2008 at 2:17 p.m.

868 466
September 1, 2008 at 4:38 p.m.

hey you cook suckers. On the morning of August 26, LAX sold 130,000 copies on iTunes alone. so don't tell me, he won't sell over 500k. i'm not 100 % sure. but almost sure, he will be somewhere around 500 000. album is better than documentary, don't deny that. more lyricist. there was fu*king 50 cent in album. i know productions are better to you,but you arent listening to good. so c you on first week sales :D (all musics on album are class 1A ;)
September 1, 2008 at 4:38 p.m.

#1 950,000
September 1, 2008 at 4:38 p.m.

somewere in the range of 100k-500k no less then 100k no more then 500k
September 1, 2008 at 4:38 p.m.

He sold 140k first day and that was just on Itunes ! So I think after 1 week that he will sell 300-400k IS PREETY GOOD..
September 1, 2008 at 11:41 p.m.

game sellin like 75,000. who ever said game sellin 5 mill first week sound like a damn fool.
September 2, 2008 at 3:38 a.m.

He sold 130k on itunes on the first day.
So it's selling hard, I'd say 600,000 1st week sales
September 2, 2008 at 4:47 a.m.

Dammm this is popular in Australia
over million world wide thats for sure
September 2, 2008 at 5:40 a.m.

September 2, 2008 at 8:59 a.m.

September 2, 2008 at 4:35 p.m.

September 2, 2008 at 6:08 p.m.

Game ain't sellin no millin or 500k he only sellin 200,000 the first week. plus the album is weak and it ain't better then his last 2 albums and TOS. I don't get everyone in the hood say that
Tos is crazy cause it has a mixtape feel. Tos is hot stop hating. it doesn't matter bout sell you ain't getting a cut. And ice cube album is also better than this game album
September 2, 2008 at 7:53 p.m.

620,000 copies.
T.O.S. should've been called P.O.S
September 2, 2008 at 7:53 p.m.

September 3, 2008 at 2:07 p.m.

#48 and about 7,000 the first week,then downhill from there cause the game sucks
September 3, 2008 at 2:13 p.m.

some of you cats need to check yourselves........... the s-h-i-t coming out your mouth is wack and foul (haters) (thats s-h-i-t comes out my other end, not my mouth) Game is easily one of the most lryically gifted rappers of all time!!!! he will clear 500k, my guess is 798 000 units first week.
All you g-unit monkeys give your head a shake!!!!!! he's gonna sell more than TOS's total album sales so far withen the first week. 50 is a whinning, singing little b-i-t-c-h........ and a snitch!!!! it's all in his lyrics even!!!!! if you guys wanna support a snitch..... it says alot about you as a person.
September 3, 2008 at 3:47 p.m.

50 suks its all about the game ^ this dude up ^^^^^ here is right ^^^^
October 31, 2008 at 10:22 a.m.

#2 50,000 in first week
150,000 in first month
