Contest: Predict the album sales of Young Jeezy's The Recession

Last week, saw the release of The Game's new album LAX. This week's major hip-hop release comes from Young Jeezy, who will release his third album The Recession on September 2.

 

We're slightly switching things up for this contest, in addition to predicting how many copies of The Recession will sell in its debut week, also predict if first week sales of Jeezy's The Recession will be higher than The Game's first week sales for LAX.

 

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 The Game's LAX.

Contest:
  • Predict in the comments if Young Jeezy's new album, The Recession, will sell more album in its first week than The Game's first week sales of LAX.
  • Also predict how many copies of The Recession will be sold during its first week.
  • Predictions after Sunday (September 7, 2008 will be disqualified). 

Prize:
  • $20 gift certificate to Amazon.com

Additional Notes:
*The winner will correctly predict which album between The Recession and LAX will have higher first week sales.

September 1, 2008 at 11:41 p.m.

1.The Recession will outsell LAX.
2.500,000 IN THE FIRST WEEK

September 2, 2008 at 12:19 a.m.

U guys are freaking stupid! Game is almost 10 times platinum with just two albums! Jeezy is tight but he is close to three times platinum with two albums. Game can outsell jeezy just with his name.

September 2, 2008 at 12:49 a.m.

I think there's been a shift and Jeezy's going to sell more this time out.

September 2, 2008 at 9:02 a.m.

1.) I'll say RECESSION will outsell (as great as I personally think LAX is).

2.) 270,000

September 2, 2008 at 10:01 a.m.

LAX ALL THE WAY

September 2, 2008 at 5:49 p.m.

210,000

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

1)he will not out sell the game
2)he will probably sell around 250,000

September 2, 2008 at 7:53 p.m.

Game only sold more because he was in g-unit and they were huge at the time. but nice try

first week 300,000

September 2, 2008 at 10:15 p.m.

the game second album sold 358,988 its first week

young jeezy second album sold 352,000

now that is not a large margin but will be tough the game album is good but to many features on a cd defeat the purpose of the talent of the artist

young jeezy album is good as well and keep it with least the three features and put out a good single out
so i chose young jeezy with at least 250,000
while the game 200,000.

September 2, 2008 at 11:38 p.m.

The recession is theone of the kind it will sell 2million with no problems

September 2, 2008 at 11:38 p.m.

it don't matter how much u sell in first week? most of the features on game's album are just for the hooks. come on man game is raw jeezy is wack. recession soundthe same to me man. lax will outsell recession in the end by over 300,000 copies

September 3, 2008 at 1:49 a.m.

Lol you need to read the news more, because Amin not to flame you or anything but with those numbers Recession already beat LAX, LAX(according to Billboard.com) sold 238,382 its first week :D I think it's called LAX because it "LAX" good material...lol. Jeezy will top him hands down, you know who knocked him to #2? Slipknot..(for you who dont know, Slipknot is a masked metal band who has never had a #1 debut album) so if tose metalheads from Iowa can beat "The Game" then you know The Snowman is going to crush his numbers. Case closed. 417,000 and on the way....
