…and the first week sales predictions are in!

After securing mixed reviews and birthing the chart-ruling bop that is ‘Loyal‘, Chris Brown‘s new album ‘X’ has seen its first week sales predictions released by ‘Hits Daily Double.’

So, just how ‘Loyal’ the general public have been to Brown this time around?

Triple figures below…

120k.

In its opening week, ‘X’ will move 120,000 units and compete for the top spot with Barbra Streisand’s ‘Partners’ which is expected to move around the same amount.

So, let us know

What do you make of the prediction?

    Wow that’s good

    • L21480 September 16, 2014

      LOL, no it’s not…

  2. CherylSoldierr September 16, 2014

    Very solid! More than fortune.

    • IStan4Me September 16, 2014

      Inaccurate. Fortune sold 134K in the first week.

  3. Molly September 16, 2014

    Better than I expected.

  4. Beysus September 16, 2014

    Hmm that ain’t so bad… The album sounds good!

  5. The Truth September 16, 2014

    Not a huge fan of his but from what I heard the album is pretty good this go around.
    These numbers are good too!
    Good job Breezy
    Stay out of Trouble

  6. CherylSoldierr September 16, 2014

    Also, I can NOT at those rihanna stans in that rihanna/cbs post. She was NOT in the right.

    • FutureCIARA September 16, 2014

      That’s why CBS chopped her song completely…. She will need CBS and their partners before they ever need her. I was on her side until she gave that immature “Fu** You” tweet to CBS. She should have exercised some self control in that case

      • CherylSoldierr September 16, 2014

        Girl they chopped her song in the first place to give news and coverage/analysis on the situation! Her selfish a** three a fit because they didn’t play her song. Rihanna of all people should be supportive of the cause. She just got exposed as a selfish, sell out. The navy will support anything, and then they tried it by trying to drag beyonce in it, while s**** shaming her. Death.

      • StopItBitch September 16, 2014

        You sound stupid… CBS was wrong and Rihanna has a right to speak her mind on the situation. Since when has Rihanna held her tongue for anyone? She certainly does not NEED CBS to continue with her success. What has CBS ever done for Rihanna? Keep trying to book that stage Ciara stan… I think you are really upset because Ciara is a flop a** baby mama now..lol

      • StopItBitch September 16, 2014

        Not even going to address the “Cheryl Cole” stan… #YourFavWILLNever #ICant SMH lol

      • CherylSoldierr September 16, 2014

        Can you read? Did you actually read the press report? Those are the facts babe.
        And I don’t stan for Ciara.

      • mekaela September 16, 2014

        Girl go f*** yourself and read
        The news Jay z drop cbs from using
        The song which cbs was going to use

        With your lies toward rih Jay f******
        Told cbs f*** u and u can’t use rih
        And the song bloop u hating ass
        B****** go read instead of spreading
        Lies

      • CherylSoldierr September 16, 2014

        Babe read an actual news source. Read cnn, msnbc, abcnews, etc. did you watch at all? Cbs used that time to cover ray rice. Rihanna was just mad that they didn’t play the song. She’s selfish.

      • CherylSoldierr September 16, 2014

        Found not guilty. Those lies are speculation. Try harder. Your fave is a sell out.

  7. tits mcgee September 16, 2014

    Not bad in this era of music. He’s not my cup
    of tea, but ok…

  8. LB September 16, 2014

    The album sucks, I only like “X”, “Don’t be gone too long”, “Autumn leaves”, “Do better” and “Loyal”; the rest of it is boring repetitive trash.

    This is an overvaluation if you consider just how crap the album actually is.

    It will dive down the charts faster than Artpop anyway.

    • CATFISH CAREY September 16, 2014

      IS THE ALBUM THAT BAD? I JUST HOPE ITS NOT LACED WITH THAT EDM MESS

      • LB September 16, 2014

        Think “new flame” x10 or however number of songs he put there. I was not impressed.

  9. FutureCIARA September 16, 2014

    Thats ok I guess. I like the album alot!

  10. Mark111 September 16, 2014

    More than I guessed, but it won’t go platinum at all.

    • NOLIES September 16, 2014

      Just like Discipline, 20 Y.O. (w/o shipments), and the struggle of Rihanna holiday special “albums.” Speaking of albums, when was the last time Janet put out a good one? Was it when Thotliyah was sucking R. Kelly or when Crackney could hit a note without the pipe smoke giving people lung cancer from second hand smoke?

      • CherylSoldierr September 16, 2014

        Death!!!

      • There once was a pimp and his h**…. September 16, 2014

        Ooooh you little shady b****!
        #I can’t

      • Brian310 September 16, 2014

        All of those artist are more critically acclaimed than Chris and didn’t flop after their 2nd album.

      • SMH September 16, 2014

        And unlike this instant flop, Discipline and 20 YO both went Gold, sold 1 million WW each, and had bigger first week sales than this brick. Matter of fact, none of the artists you mentioned has ever seen an album flop with 120K. So you can sit now and enjoy Chris I-wanna-be-Usher-so-bad-but-I-can-never-Brown’s latest flop.

      • SC_ September 16, 2014

        Weak shade because everyone you named have outsold fist brown at least 20x over.

    • SMH September 16, 2014

      This shiit won’t even see Gold and will drop off the charts faster than Britney Jean.

  11. christinastherealtalent September 16, 2014

    This is his best work to date! And considering all the sh*t he’s been through the past year, that’s damn good.

    • NOLIES September 16, 2014

      Agreed! I wish I could say the same for your screaming Liptina last 5 albums… #PoorDat

      • SMH September 16, 2014

        XTina’s last 5 albums sold more than Chrissy’s last 5 bricks. #SorryBoo

      • NOLIES September 16, 2014

        @SMH… NO ONE GIVES A F*** ABOUT CHRISSY BROWN, so sit the f*** down f**. I clearly hit a nerve. Go cry about it someone who gives a f***.

  12. BEYHIVE_MINAJ September 16, 2014

    Wow,I wasn’t expecting this much. Solid album. I’m just happy that he’s finally turning his life around.

  13. Briej September 16, 2014

    I dunno After barbra Streisand Slayed The TOnight show last Night and she trending still now Barbra Might take this one. It was her 1st appearence in over 50 yrs

  14. Rihyeezy September 16, 2014

    Selling under 150 you n***** got to be kidding!!!! (Drake Voice)
    KI
    This MIXTAPE is a flop

  15. James227 September 16, 2014

    120K? is nothing. This what happens when the fans download the CD for free. Illegal downloads from leaks. Chris has over millions of fans and this is all he selling? This is a joke

  16. LB September 16, 2014

    Hey, at least he is selling in one week what other artists fail to sell an entire era.

  17. S****** Blonde September 16, 2014

    Good numbers, bad publicity can’t hurt him at this point.

  18. Stephy. September 16, 2014

    I don’t like the album AT ALL. This is why I don’t buy albums no mo’. Anyways, good luck Chris Brown.

    • CherylSoldierr September 16, 2014

      Giiiirl
      *plays kelly price-tired*

      • Stephy. September 16, 2014

        LMAO!!!!!!! You keep on playing that song!

  19. LB September 16, 2014

    SCREAMING!!!!!! I do not have receipts on anybody, but y’all gonna have to take a number and wait for an invitation before you come for me.

    I’m like the terms of condition on the software you download, NOBODY READS ME.

  20. James227 September 16, 2014

    Loyal had 135,738,382 viewers. It was the fans who push to get those numbers when Chris was away. Now his album leaked and those so call fans download it for free. The bad thing about it is they are not ashamed to tell people that they did it. SMH

  21. Lily September 16, 2014

    Not impressed. Anyone seen that @Time Review? Death. I don’t know if it was a review or an attack on CB.
    As for that CiError & chihuahua scarecrow fans. You two need to seat your ass down with that CBS post of yours.

    • LB September 16, 2014

      As for that CiError & chihuahua scarecrow fans


      SCREAMING!!!!!!!!

    • CherylSoldierr September 16, 2014

      Not you defending a fake sell out. Death!!!!!
      Your girl threw a tantrum and cbs literally paid her dust. Kiii

      • philly September 16, 2014

        Your girl through a tantrum when she was kicked off US x factor as I recall alot of “f****” were dished out

      • CherylSoldierr September 16, 2014

  23. Jessica September 16, 2014

    Death @ him selling the same amount of most of Rihannas albums minus all the exposure and #1s.

    • LB September 16, 2014

      Rihanna has got 6 platinum albums though, Chris only has two

      • Jessica September 16, 2014

        Still a kiii

  24. CherylSoldierr September 16, 2014

    At least this will be blocked by a legend, not Jackie evancho.

  25. There once was a pimp and his h**…. September 16, 2014

    In these current times, that number is decent so I can’t really say much.
    #That sales realness

  26. Lindsay Lohan September 16, 2014

    Considering the pushbacks, his absence, and leaks, also noting that all the lead singles are basically old and stale now, him pushing 120k is a good indication that he’s still current. Also this versus all other R&B releases, X is a blockbuster.

  27. Rosie September 16, 2014

    I was expecting less since it was pushed back like 7492 times. Not bad for an R&B album in this climate (in b4 “but mY eVerYtHinG sold 170K!!!1”)

  28. asipofbrandy September 16, 2014

    I love the album my top picks are Do Better, New Flame, Loyal and Autumn Leaves. #Breezyway

  29. Mark111 September 16, 2014

    a year and a half of promo, performances,pushbacks, 99 singles and stunts, this is a flop. I’ll have to wait, but I don’t see him doing 120K, if so it won’t pass 400K. #RealSinglesArtist

    • CherylSoldierr September 16, 2014

      Not when 85% of your faves record sales are singles.

    • Rosie September 16, 2014

      I don’t like Fist either but this era has been super messy so far. Dead at people acting like it was this flawless, planned out thing like Teenage Dreamir something.

    • Essa September 16, 2014

      “Pushbacks,” sort of how Roc Nation is pushing back Rihanna’s album because they know she’d never be able to compete with real album sellers this season.

      • Mark111 September 16, 2014

        Oh, when did Rihanna drop a single for R8? I’ll wait.

      • Rihboy September 16, 2014

        Who are the real album sellers you speak of? Nicki? Thats the only person who is expected to release this quater? Enlighten me.

      • Lolz September 16, 2014

        @Rihboy Adele, Taylor and 1D

    • NOLIES September 16, 2014

      You seethe over EVERYBODY alive! Go sit down. NO ONE LIKES YOU F***! You would have a better chance of Janet singing live than people actually your ugly fat ass Miss. Stewart. You’re a horrible ‘person.’ If you died, no one would miss you.

  30. Mingxxx September 16, 2014

    Not bad for chris who doesnt get free protion like copycat thief beyonce does whos album started ok but is now a flop and cant even sell 2.1 million in the US. Soooo pathetic

    • XoMoDe September 16, 2014

      LOL! That response was pathetic. How many other albums released this past year went double platinum in the U.S. Seriously, what did you score on the SAT’s? Do they have special consideration for dolts like you who were spawned from generations of incestuous breeding? You are an A-1, second class, all around dumbass. Your mother/cousin should be slapped for not doing something about you during the window of time when abortion is legal. Anything else?

    • Rosie September 16, 2014

      Has your fave sold 2.1 million in the US? This stale ass drag when she literally outsold every other female combined this year.

    • Vandrea September 16, 2014

      Some of you fools don’t even try to make sense with your comments. You just spew all kinds of remedial illogic just for the sake of seeing your jibberish on screen.

    • Lolz September 16, 2014

      This dumb person says the same the thing every post. And doesn’t even realize how stupid it sounds.

  31. SMH September 16, 2014

    This fool is doing Britney Jean numbers, and folks are saying that’s good. LMAO stop it. With the amount of promo, biitch bottom queens, and thots this boy has as fans, these numbers are atrocious. Even Usher’s lowest selling album sold more. If Rihanna did these numbers, the dragging would be endless. Face it, folks,this album FLOPPED.

  32. gina September 16, 2014

    Flop, just as I thought. His music sucks anyway.

  33. SC_ September 16, 2014

    I really enjoyed “Do Better” “Drunk Texting” “Autumn Leaves” and “New Flame” the rest will have to grow on me!

  34. coolness September 16, 2014

    Wow! I was predicting 100k for him but 20k more is actually really impressive considering his circumstances. This album had multiple pushbacks, poorly charted singles, bad press from the arrest, rehab etc and the lack of an organized promo schedule. For him to do these numbers as an R&B artist in this climate, I say well done Chris. The album is solid and despite some off-moments (too long, too much filler), it is actually quite refreshing and should be seen as a feat for him. I think this is his best album vocally (that’s not saying a lot seeing that he was never that much of a vocalist in the first place) because there’s less auto tune and there’s a warmth to his voice. It’s not where I would to see him yet (he’s still yet to make that game-changing magnum opus) but it’s a step in the right direction.

  35. LB September 16, 2014

    Now Y’all know I like S****** Blonde, I’ve disagreed with him time to time, but I like him. But can we relive that epic dragging Mark111 delivered in the other post….I haven’t seen a dragging that bad since Katy Payola’s google play receipt surfaced.

    I’m going to bookmark that post, the shredding of the edges was brutal
    http://thatgrapejuice.net/2014/09/rihanna-curses-cbs-ray-rice-songpulling-drama/

    • There once was a pimp and his h**…. September 16, 2014

      That’s what his stupid ass gets. He has been going over board with these racist/perverted comments on this site for too long. I still can’t believe TGJ hasn’t officially banned his no good ass.

  36. Rihboy September 16, 2014

    I really and truly dont understand the hype. Nothing differentiates this album from the last. He has been promoting this s*** for dar too long to have lukewarm fillers and three possible hits. It is slightly better, but i guess it was too much to expect something ground breaking. For Rihs sake i hope she is truly sitting back and watching the do’s and dont’s of this era. Its a mucky mess.

  37. Lolz September 16, 2014

    This is good for an R&B album. Good for him. Its not underwhelming. Figures like this are underwhelming for people spewed all over pop radio and with #1 singles on the Hot 100 and mini pre Tours.

  38. FutureCIARA September 16, 2014

    “U gotta come harder when ur fave stealing her cousins baby to compete”

    DEATH!

    • doubline47 September 16, 2014

      Lol!! You guys are too funny

  39. Rihanna #1 fan t September 16, 2014

    I mean that really ain’t that good.. but i must admit i really like chris brown music!!

    • Lolz September 16, 2014

      Rihanna can barely do better though. Self drag.

  40. We have to do better… September 16, 2014

    How are y’all saying this is a flop?? It is the still the first week!!!! Instead of the music y’all focus on first week numbers when y’all can’t pass a math class. smdh. As I stated before, when these artist don’t sell high numbers it is a sign that WE FAILED!! He did his job to put out the album, we as consumers need to buy it. Y’all act like y’all are experts lol. Stop talking s*** and support these artists.

  41. Ozzy September 16, 2014

    The album is utter trash other than a few good tracks but I think this figure given the climate is decent. I don’t see this album reaching gold let alone platinum(good luck!). An interesting fact about Mr.Chris, he has NEVER gone platinum since he infamously assaulted Rihanna. Good luck with that….. Anyways, music sales in general have been AWFUL lately. But on the other hand, music has been awful as well. The music industry NEEDS to step up and produce better material than the trash on radio today. SMH.

  42. whoiam September 16, 2014

    These are good numbers in 2014, especially with all the negative situation he has been through the last few years. If you look at the recent numbers of some of the other R & B male soloist, Trey Songz 105k, John Legend 68k, August Alsina 67k so if he does do 120k its good. I have to say congrats because I thought he would not get over 100k.

  43. whoiam September 16, 2014

    I don’t know about the #1 spot because they have not said nothing about the 2 country singers who done these type of numbers last time.
