Predict the sales of '''Year Zero'''

April 18, 2007 2:41 a.m. by Dave Park
It's a relatively quiet week for new albums this week, but the new Nine Inch Nails album Year Zero should be debut high on the charts. Will a viral marketing campaign that included leaving tracks in a bathroom in Portugal result in sales? Predict below in the comments.
Contest:

  • Predict the first week album sales for NIN'''s Year Zero below in the comments.

  • Predictions after Sunday (April 22, 2007 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.

It's too bad anyone that votes will be disqualified. If I had the chance to vote before April 15th (which was impossible, due to this being posted today) I'd go with 165,000. DAVE!!! Change the date!!!!!

did they push a radio single with this album like the last record? 137,500. I'm in the camp of those who think Trent can do no wrong. As long as he makes guitars that sound like I'm getting prison raped against a wall, I'm cool with it.
