Okay, i got to admit it, i underestimated the power of Jay-Z and Kanye West to sell records, and i earlier predicted between 130- 200k. But, hitsdailydouble.com have come forward with a projection from first day sales.
Jay-Z and Kanye West's Roc-a-Fella/Def Jam/Roc Nation release Watch the Throne hit iTunes last night for a four-day exclusive, and predictably, the deluxe edition of the album and the regular are running 1-2 on the site. The physical version hits retail on Friday, with Best Buy the exclusive physical outlet for the deluxe edition, which includes four extra bonus tracks. In addition, it was the first major hip-hop release in memory to hit the market without a leak, perhaps due to its digital-only release up front. Early returns suggest that the album's first-week total on next Tuesday's chart will be right in line with the initial estimate of 400-450k. (HITS Daily Double)I guess the fact that it didn't leak gave it a boost; but i still feel it is going to drop to like 350-375k.
