First Week Sales Projections Of Common's The Dreamer/The Believer

Common's The Dreamer/The Believer dropped two days ago, and according to HITS Daily Double, it has been projected to sell between 55-65k first week. I predicted it would sell between 60-120k first week. so i am onpoint. Read more below-





Windy City hip-hop icon Common's Think Common/Warner Bros. bow, The Dreamer/The Believer, looks headed for first-week sales of between 55-65k. His last album, 2008's Universal Mind Control, on G.O.O.D./Geffen, debuted with 82k.
 



Common has always sold within this range, so this is another successful album for him. When you don't attach any kind of gimmick to your music, it is always hard to sell big...but i think he is cool with this sales. It's a great album, and he now has more songs to perform on tour.

First Week Sales Prediction of Common's The Dreamer/The Believer

The Dreamer/The Believer is Common's 9th album in his 19 year career. I bet some people don't know he has been here for that long. His first album, "Can I Borrow A Dollar", dropped in 1992, via Relativity Records. Another thing people don't know about common is that his first three albums ("Can I borrow a dollar?", "resurrection", and "one day it'll all make sense") were heavily produced by none other than NO.ID. Okay, enough of the history lesson, i came to give a first week prediction of Common's The Dreemer/The Believer album.





Common has never been an artist to sell millions. He has never sold a million copies with any album, but that doesn't take away the fact that he is a legend in Hip Hop. He is a damn good rapper, and it is great that he is still around in 2011. Probably the highest selling first week debut of his career would be 2007's Finding Forever which sold 155,000 copies first week, which later earned him a Gold Plague. I would say The Dreamer/The Believer would sell between 60-120k first week.


The album drops in 4 days time...December 20 to be precise.
