Sales Predictions for Michael Jackson, Ciara, R. Kelly, & Diddy-Dirty Money

R. Kelly, Diddy, and Ciara

After one day in stores, preliminary figures are in for some of urban music’s biggest acts. Find out what Michael Jackson, R. Kelly, Ciara, and Diddy-Dirty Money are expected to sell in their opening week.

The King of Pop’s posthumous release, Michael, is gearing up for a strong debut, with an estimated 225-250,000 copies in its first week, according to HITS Daily Double. On the R&B tip, R. Kelly is slated to make a jolly entry onto the charts with his well-received album Love Letter, which should sell an estimated 150-160,000.

But the rest of the first-week sales aren’t looking so hot. Despite a heavy promotional campaign, Diddy-Dirty Money’s oft-delayed album Last Train to Paris is only shaping up to move 60-65,000 copies. R&B singer-songwriter Tank is on track to sell 40-45,000 units of his fourth LP Now or Never, while Ciara’s Basic Instinct figures are projected at 35-40,000.

These numbers are based on one-day sales reports from retailers and are subject to change. Final figures will be released next Wednesday.
