Contest: Predict the album sales of T.I.'s <i>Paper Trail</i>

· by

T.I.'s Paper Trail will be one of the biggest hip-hop albums of the year. Lil' Wayne set the bar incredibly high, by topping over a million sales in the debut week of Tha Carter III, any chance TIP can match that?

 

For this week's album sales contest, predict where T.I.'s latest album Paper Trail will chart in its debut week and also guess how many units it will sell. 


The prize is a $20 Amazon gift certificate and bragging rights for the week. Please note that only registered userswill be in the running.

 

Contest:
  • Predict in the comments where TI's new album, Paper Trail, will chart.
  • Also predict how many copies of Paper Trail will be sold during its first week.
  • Predictions after Sunday (October 5, 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 correctly guesses where T.I. charts and is closest to actual sales figures from Soundscan wins. No Price Is Right rule 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.

****If you are not registered on the site, your entry will be disqualified.

I think he will sell atleast 550,000 copies in the first week. I just bought floor seats to his concert at Patriot Center in DC area. I think this will be his last concert in our area for a long time beacuse he will be serving his sentence.

Already #1 in the country, he will sell close to a million in a week even though we are in a recession so that's equivalent to 2million.

roc334

1.3 Million in the first week ........i just know its going to exceed a Million in the First week.........Beating Tha Carter 3

Mad head

Maybe 800,000 to 1 million: Since people don't by CDs anymore, LimeWire messed up him selling more than 5 million. But it is a GREAT album I just purchased it. Listen to that "56 bars and "Im Illy". T.I. is the KING homie

J R

Guys, women and girls buy albums. men don't. t.i. will hit the million sale mark in a week because he made a smart move with "whatever you like" for the women. you'll see. most of you guys doubting are males, and you won't buy albums. lil wayne got white folks and women to buy his albums.

den

#1 goes to da Real

~Flakez~

I think T.I. will atlest 900,000 copies at the least. If the Carter3 can sale a million Paper Trail can do the same if not more. T.I has a sound unlike no other a flow thats so sick how could it not.

/site_media/uploads/images/users/prefix/no-user-pic.gifbytch3s3nvyme

900,000 Im from the N.O and nobody go sale more den wayne!but T.I hott too!

Trayoun Maxie

675,000 copies.

Eric

#1 850,000

rell

I believe he top wayne 1.1 million will be sold

J Price

I think will debut on Billboard hot 200 with 1,300,000 copies sold

Hebert

I Think its gone sell 95,ooo first week

Den Bell

780k albums, #1 in the country of course.
I mean, if every person who listened to it had to buy it, I think it would sell more like 3 million in a week. But the fact is that most people get it from the internet, and the underground hip-hop community has had this album since September 15th or so.
Also, I think T.I. put out too many hot singles before the album. With the 6 of the hottest tracks already out, I was a little disappointed in the rest of the album.

Teddy

1.2 million

ra

1.2 million first week beating tha carter III

Gilbert ventura

Juat above Wayne.... Since wayne is overrated TI shows how it to do not just a verse w/metaphores but an entire song

I believe Tip's latest album is the best album that hip-hop has seen recently in the last 5 years, honestly! As far as units sold, 250,00 the first day... 1,000,000 the first week... then triple platinum by the end of the year. Good job Tip. And for the haters

Young Gutter

23 MILLION
