First Week Sales Prediction Of Wale's 'The Gifted' Album

Wale released his third album (The Gifted) today, June 25th. Like I usually do when ever a rapper drops an album, i am going to try and predict what it would sell in the first week in stores. His last album, Ambition sold 165,000  copies first week. Wale's strength is his ability to make music both male and female enjoy. So, even if he doesn't have the biggest single out at the time, he would still sell decent numbers. Girls buy albums, but must guys illegally download CDs. So, this is a plus for him. I would predict he would sell between150-180k first week.


What do you guys think? You think he will sell lower? Or higher? Anyway, we will know by next week Wednesday, and we will have an idea of what it will sell by tomorrow, when it would have done a full day in stores. Check out the album tracklist below-
