Contest: Predict the sales of '''Buck the World'''

March 26, 2007 1:56 p.m. by Dave Park

While fellow G-Unit teammates Yayo and Fiddy are busy being accused of smacking a 14-year-old, Young Buck is readying the release of his new album Buck the World. Regarded as the best and most consistent rapper in the G-Unit crew, will the loose cannon from Tennessee put out the first big hip-hop album of the year? It's a week full of hip-hop releases as new albums from Redman, Prodigy, Tha Dogg Pound and the debut from Mims also come out tommorrow.

Contest:

Predict the first week album sales for Young Buck'''s Buck the World below in the comments.

Predictions after Sunday (April 1, 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.

I don't think he has a radio hit now but I don't think he had a radio hit on his last record either. I'm going with 125,000

You guys are being too conservative. The man stabbed another guy with a fork to protest Dr. Dre's honor. That will result in album sales!

G-Harp aka G-Money The Don

I'm gonna ride out with 275,000. "Get Buck" is just climbin' the charts but the album features T.I., Young Jeezy, Bun B, Eminem, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Trick Daddy and production from Eminem, Dr. Dre, Hi-Tek, Jazze Pha. So I say that it'll sell at least 275,000. All I know, it'll sell more than "Rotten Apple"

April 1, 2007 at 3:31 p.m.

Dont mean to ruin the party with this new feature guessing how many albums are gonna sell.. but it's really much too easy to cheat. you say the cut-off is April 1, but this was published March 28: (via HITS daily double)"Other chart newcomers include G Unit/Interscope rapper Young Buck'''s Buck the World looks headed for first-week sales of almost 150k..."Contest should start before album comes out, and end a day or so after it goes on sale. Just saying...

April 3, 2007 at 3:47 p.m.

mk	i change my guess to almost 150k

April 3, 2007 at 4:06 p.m.

Dave Park

I definitely thought of your point ZF, but I figured that most people weren't using HITS Daily Double and there are usually several answers that are really close. HITS has also been off buy enough units in our past contests too. I'll look to change the entry dates if this turns out to be a big issue, but I think we're okay for now.MK, you sthink and you can't change your guess.
