There are many ways to “win” musically and it seems Justin Timberlake is set to achieve them all with new album ‘The 20/20 Experience’.
A chart blockbuster out of the gate, the ‘Suit & Tie’ led LP is set to extend its stay atop of the Billboard 200 next week and in the process will deny Lil Wayne‘s hotly anticipated ‘I Am Not A Human Being II’ the #1 spot.
Details below…
According to Hits Daily Double, next week’s numbers are poised to be…
Justin Timberlake (RCA) 300-325k
* Lil Wayne (Young Money/Cash Money/Republic) 200-210k
* Blake Shelton (Warner Bros. Nashville) 180-190k
* OneRepublic (Interscope) 55-60k
* Depeche Mode (Columbia) 55-60k
* Alan Jackson (Capitol Nashville) 45-50k
Bruno Mars (Atlantic) 40-45k
* The Strokes (RCA) 35-40k
P!nk (RCA) 30-35k
Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 30-35k
Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville) 30-35k
Imagine Dragons (Interscope) 28-32k
* Sevendust (7Brothers) 28-32k
* Thompson Square (Stoney Creek) 28-32k
Rihanna (Def Jam/IDJ) 27-30k
Les Miserables (Republic) 24-27k
Now 45 (Capitol) 24-27k
************
Needless to say, congrats are once again in order for Team Timberlake.
To put it into context, JT is selling in his second week what some recent releases have yet to sell in total. The slayage.
Randomness: Lil Wayne’s sales are surprising. For despite controversy-soaked publicity, his latest numbers are a far cry from the 964,000 first week figures of 2011’s ‘Tha Carter IV’. Interestingly, the predecessor to this project, 2010’s ‘I Am Not A Human Being’, opened at #2 with 110, 000 as a digital-only release; going on to claim the top spot two weeks later with 125,000 sold once physical CD arrived in stores.

Ugh J.T sucks balls..
That’s a pretty impressive second-week sales count.
Unlike a certain ‘Prince/Madonna/Grace Jones/David Bowie/Freddie Mercury’ knock-off who debuted with 1 Million + in their first week and sold less than 120k the next… 🙂
As for Lil Wayne: DAMN. This man is a respectable 500k+ albums artist, what happened?
MARK MY WORDS AND MAKE SURE TO QUOTE ME ON THIS
ARTPOP WILL DEBUT WITH 1 MILLION+
Just as long as their is no “Two Day/99c Discount”. But…
We will see @Lovebird… We will see.
Gaga learned her lesson with BTW, she is coming for all the wigs, weaves, hair dyes, clip on extensions, roots, retouches, highlights…etc.
Watch and see, Gaga is not playing this time around.
“wigs, weaves, hair dyes, clip on extensions, roots, retouches, highlights…”
_______
LOL!!!
OMG why does it matter? it was still platinum! S***!
The shade, lol. She’s truly has no sense of style, no sense of self, no content or opinions that she hasn’t read about and lifted from somewhere or that weren’t whispered in her years, at the end of the day she’s just another industry manipulated “The New Madonna” puppet, they’ve tried so many times in the past 30 years, only this latest attempt is a bit more pathetically obvious, pity it doesn’t work this way.
I know right. #PoorThing. So, let me get this straight…
1) She calls ‘BTW’ the ‘Album of the Decade’ and that will ‘Inspire’ an entire new generation of music lovers…
2) She says her ‘BTW Tour’ would ‘Revolutionize’ live concert performance…
3) She concludes her ‘BTW’ era (2011-2012) in a wheel-chair due to a dislocated hip-joint…
All in all, she was
@MC 4 LYF B****
Don’t forget that she says that ArtPop is the best Dance-Pop album ever made it, teaching old h*** how it’s done.
@S******…
LMFAO!!!
I just don’t know what to say about ‘Lady Gaga’ anymore. I, personally, think that she could/would have made an excellent Rock artist, seeing that was the genre of music she was doing before she became famous and converted to Pop, and made a respectable name out of herslef…
But no… She sold herslef to the corporate music industry and chose to establish herself as a ‘circus act- based, performance artist’ who is neither original nor authentic, in a deeper context, but just a naive, 21st century rip-off.
#PoorGirl.
@JARED
Not even a rock artist, she should do a Elton type career, Madonna was a rock artist pre-fame and she has a wonderful career but this girl is just a wannabe of almost every artists.
Eat it you pressed whores, eat it. F*** your face trick b****, f*** your life trick b****, f*** your life you trick ass b****.
http://youtu.be/IYFTH60sC6o
Yeah. Elton John/Billy Joel etc. Piano-Rock/Soft-Rock/Pop-Rock…
But LOL, what’s your fave Madonna song & album?
@Lovebird…
I do like some cake!!!
🙂
@JARED (WHITE DUDE)
That’s hard question, let’s say that “Ray of Light” is very special to me, what’s your?
It’s hard also but I’d have to say ‘This used to be my Playground’ is my favourite song and ‘Bedtime Stories’ is my favourite album
I hold it very dear to me…
By the way, did you catch A.I’s shade at Madonna tonight? LMAO. Every B**** was so intimidated by the Queen that they never even mentioned her name, until Nicki did.
I LOVE MC… But I caught the shade!!! 🙂 🙂
Yes i did, i don’t watch the show but i saw the clip on another blog, the shade but WHY?
That’s great, good for him, if he sell that much the next week then the album could disappear of the charts and still will be successful.
yaaaas Justin block that cockroach looking n****
I bought Lil’ Wayne’s album and frankly I’m not surprised, it is simply not his best album. In fact I was highly underwhelmed but I still love Lil’ Wayne.
I’m shocked though that Lil’ Wayne will debut with anything less than 500K, he’s big in the Hip Hop community.
As for Justin, well what can I say, congratulations I guess.
I think he is on his way out due to karma! He crossed the line when he made fun of the murder of Emmet Till. If em made fun of trayvon martin, blacks would scream the race card, yet Lil wayne done it and did not even say soryy. Funny that he nearly dies a week later. HA. KARMA!
the f*** main excuse was “He’s going to drop off in his 2nd week”… Now what you miserable people going to say? Hating ass men, Good Job JT!
Oh, by the way, Happy Birthday Gaga.
i hate wanye he’s trash
J.T. slaying alll these mutha fuckas…
Maybe after this year and with Justin’s figures, the US might reclaim their position from Japan as the worlds biggest music market.
My fav still selling 30k a week. :”””””””””””) longevity. Your favs fall like a rock after the first couple of weeks. My favs hang in there and sells.
And in P!nk is still 35k 6 months after she released her album…
Rihanna (Def Jam/IDJ) 27-30k
thats all i care for
last week they predicted 24-27k and she did 27k
this week we looking at 30k, my b**** bad
The consistency!
The album just came out 4 mos ago.. Pink’s came out during the summer.. SIT _/
the album is f****** trash like wack as s*** hated it…
glad rihanna is still selling over 25k 4months after her album was released
Good!
Lil Wayne is an undercover homosexual, crack headed, wannabe thug that degrades & disrespects black women every chance he gets.
I hope his ass flops hard. Leave this disgusting man to the hungry, unruly dogs and let them have a go at him. This is the same man that made fun of Emmit Till’s death.
Any black person that supports this sh*t is as self hating as he is.
I just told lovebird, that the karman of making fun of emmet till is why he nearly died, has permanent liver damage and got whupped on the chart by WHITE MAN KKK STYLE.
This is not a legit Wayne album. He said he didnt really care if people got it or not. This is more of a side project than anything else. His last album like this performed similarly.
Oh so now its not a real album? The trying. Any excuse
Young Money consists of overhyped talentless GARBAGE artists
They s*** on R**** .. 😆
They write, something she can NEVER do 😆
1 name among 8 others doesn’t count…
It really looks like as long as your music remains consistent and you continue to remind your fans why they fell in love with you, you will continue to sell. I’ve learned that about Mariah, Alicia, Christina, Usher, Chris, etc…they all started out with a particular sound, some grew, some remained the same, and whatever they did worked but the music industry changes every few years and people fall in love with somebody else, new or veteran but it’s tricky to maintain your momentum after a certain number of years. I have asked a handful of people of what they think of Christina and her recent music and they were not impressed simply because they felt she is trying too hard to compete with other younger female acts…they said if she were to go Back to Basics (no pun intended), they’d give her another chance to be musically successful as a solo artist. With Usher, if he were to stick with a particular sound on his albums, they wouldn’t have a problem with selling. When Chris first came out, he was straight up Urban but now all his uptempos are dance pop and his albums don’t sell like they used to. Alicia still has the same sound but she’s experimenting too much with a different texture to it that it’s moderately doing her favors just not living up to her hype.
JT Slays! Your favs could never! Lil’ Wayne’s IMAHB era’s are never popular. The last one wasn’t then he rebounded with the THA CARTER IV. He will rebound next year with THA CARTER V or something.
Carter 4 was trash aswell.
im tired of people forcing themselves to like this man. he hasnt dropped a decent album in 5 years.
That cover is EVERYTHING! I knew when JT said his album was call The 20/20 Experience, I knew it was gonna SLAY n numbers and the charts! And then when KING B said The Great JT @ the Grammys……ITS F*CKIN OVER! When THE QUEEN says ur Great and bac ur s*** up. Holy s***, u are IT! And JT is it! #SLAY ON JT
Impressive 2nd week. Im glad he will block Wayne. Some people get too comfortable with all these shooin #1 debuts because theres no competition. A #1 album is as easy to get anymore as a Grammy. Debut with 60k in sales? #1 album. Get nominated for a BS category? Grammy
Lmao @ him blocking Lil Wayne though. Wayne has been gettin on my nerves lately, especially when he disrespected Emmitt Till! His ass should of issued an apology but he didn’t. That’s just straight up wrong, for him to say ” beat the p**** up like Emmitt Till! U dumb stupid ignorant f*ck! Don’t he know if his ass was trying to holla at an white woman or got blame for it. His ass would of been beat to death too. #SMH
Its obvious Cash Money bought the carter 4 and made it debut with 964k 1st week.
Lil Wayne’s album was trash, some of the worst lyrics i have ever heard in my life. *plays 36 chambers*
well done JT.
Back in Dec, even NOV, we all assumed that this would be Beyonce. Everyone swore blind, that she would take the 1st 1/4 AND!………..END/ destroy and shut down careers of her rivals, namely Rihanna. Same was said over a year with Rita Whora.
Now, we are, deep into the 1st 1/ 4 HEADING FOR SUMMER AND NO BEYONCE. Aside from the desperate PR backlash used as a veil to stay relevant – there is no news. A month or so, Ryna seacrest said he will premiere the return of a ” leading pop girl” who’s return to music is much missed! Everyone said it is beyonce. It was Demi Lovato ( I knew he meant a young white girl and not and old fading RNB diva )
SO, just weeks away from beyonce tour, which is not mind blowing, just a regular tour, even One direction and Justin beeiber tours are bigger, and yet no NEWS of these 2 SINGLES THAT THE DREAM WAS BRAGGING ABOUT BEFORE THE SB.
SAD
Well down to JT for not acting like beyonce, who was running her mouth about how she is gonna comeback and take 2013 and shut down careers.JT has the biggest LP of tis year, and EM is on his way, plus RIH is still slaying.
NOW WHERE YOU AT BEY? ADD bey to the flops of 2013, cos I stand by convictions when I SAY,. BEYONCE IS DONE IN THE MUISC GAME. Let her rap up her greatest tour, pay back pepsi and retire.
Usher and beyonce are now in the same boat: they both have to work hard in the30’s to remain relevant than they did when they were younger trying to make it.
Both were managed by the parents why hyped them up as being the best thang smokin. Both have deluded fan base who hail than as legends who are better than everyone else. Even Shania Twain or simply red fans do not do than and simply red sold 50 million ALBUMS.
Both have deep seated envy and jealousy to their younger, sexier more poppier, and IMO more creative rivals – rihanna and JT. I am sorry but JT and Rih make better music and are more visually easier on the eye.
Bey and Usher, have yet to work with Rih or JT, are both on the wrong side of 30, in a new WORLD of music, and they are struggling to find their feat. Both think they are far more superior vocalist than the white boy who ” cannot sing ” or the bahan girl with no talent, yet, both copy the white boy and bajan girl, who have both worked together on rehab and slayed!
Yeah, they have their famous names, big labesl behind them and all other smoke screens, but, in reality, both are FINISHED. They will never dominate they way they did a decade ago.
Quite frankly……I am glad!
Lmao @ this stupid ass b**** lmao. Hoeianna ass always drop albums during the Holidays h**. She scared to drop Jan – Sept, cause she know her ass would do 50k – 100k first week. KING B tour will straight up murder R****’s n gross sales. R**** is touring rite now and nobody isn’t talking about that lame ass non factor concert. B**** u mad 4 albums 118 Million >>>>>>>> 7 albums 100 million records lmao. R**** isn’t running s*** but Breezy’s d*** and she don’t own that. Cause Breezy is playing her dumbass. #PRESSED ASS HOEIANNA STANS LMAO
W**** stop your delusional lies with 118 million records! If you wanna believe that, we will believe that Rihanna has sold 180 million records like X Factor confirmed. H** bye.
ELLE UK said she has sold 200 million.
The UK X Factor said 180 million 🙂 You can claearly see it in her intro.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acRAiH8jkMI
This tells u H*** KING B IS THE HBIC! HER UNRELEASED TRACK BOW DOWN >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hoeianna gets mushed n the face by Breezy. Lmao B**** that’s what the public thinks lmao. Nobody took up for Hoeianna when she got her ass handed to her and nobody really talked about it that much. But a f*ckin song that’s unreleased is talked about on CNN and Rush Limbaugh for over a week lmfaooooooo. Rush Limbaugh don’t even know who R**** is lmao. That b**** isn’t an house hold name lmfaoooooooooooo.
Only babars walters the QUEEN of american jornalism DONE A INTERVIEW WITH RIH BACK IN 2009, WHEN SHE WAS ONLY 21. Something old fat beyonce could only dream of that age. AT 21, Babara walters would never interview BEYONCE, some ghetto RNB.
That interview was a pop culture moment. Rih is household name in the USA see law and order episode and she is not even AMERICAN. POOR DAT. SHE runs YOUR COUNTRY, BEYONCE. JUST LIKE ADELE.
Another Epic Fail: Usher last tour didn’t sell out n minutes around the World and neither did Hoeianna’s. If anybody struggling to stay relevant, its Hoeianna. Cause has Unaflop went platinum yet??? Its now approaching 6 months on the charts and I don’t see platinum no where n sight lmaooooooooooo. 4 was certified platinum n 6 months C*nt lmaooooooo. #STRUGGLIANNA
UNA , her album has sold 2.6 as of of last week. 4 sold 2.1. She just became the youngest to Innou Stadium in turkey on wed, 100 confirmed. Bey is struggling to keep with onde direction and Justin Beeber stadium tour. Even JT is olaying stadiums this summer, while 41 beyonce rots. Beyonce is playing arena’s, but so are JB and One direction, only there’s are bigger Arena tours and sold out more venues. LOL LOL beyonce getting whupped by teenage white boys.
4 was plat after 6 months? LOL LOL no wonder it flopped. JT was plat in a week and Rih is 2.6 at 4 months HA HA HA So when is the single and album coming out? What date will it go to pre order? usually Pre order is a MONTH before release, we are already near april, thought beyonce was dropping in april?
IN USA – which what you are talking about, UNA is has been on the chart for 4 months, NOV and it is at 860, that IS NEAR PLAT, but anyway, it sells around the world, something beyonce cannot do and UNA HAS IS NOW NEAR 3 MILLION in just 4 months. THIS UNA LP will outsell IAMSF.
THE STRUGGLE
# CATCHUPHEAUXS.
Beyonce made a fool of herself doing a song called bow down. Now that she will ot be dropping in april and UNA has outsold her last LP – and will outsell IASF.
Pride destroys more than any weapon. I read, that beyonce does not even want to be refereed to as King anymore. Now just Queen,. She made a fool of herself. Rih, Taylor, Adele, Katy , gaga, JT and One D all made a f****** fool of the so called king/
A king is meant to be the NUMER1- something she never was. I know Madonna, Celine, Shania, Janet, Mariah, Whitney, Gaga, Brit, Rih, Spice girls etc are all BIGGER THAN HER. Even JLO and alcia keys have sold more albums than her.
Overrated, untalnted ego manic ugly fat diva who TIME HAS COME TO END. After she is done her arena tour, she can go and support One direction ON THEIR MEGA TOUR
SADE has sold more albums than her too. Cher, Babs, so many women s*** of this fat piece of s***.
.B**** sit yo slow retarted ass down somewhere. I know ur dumbass can’t understand logic or count but Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar and April. That’s six months C*nt. Take ur slow mental ass bac to school and ride that short yellow bus. Cause that’s definitely the bus u rode before c*nt. And lmao JT 20/20 has already outsold Unaflop n its first week lmao. 4 is sitting @ 1.3 million n the States. A number Unaflop won’t reach lmaoooooooooo. A number TTT, Rated R, A Flop Like Me or her first album didn’t see neither lmaooooooooo. Stay mad that KING B has 4 albums that have sold 13 million n the States and Hoeianna has 7 and sold 8 million n the States lmaooooooooooooooooo #FLOPIANNA
Whether it is 5 or 6 months. UNA HAS SOLD 2.6 AND 2 SOLD ONLY 2.1, despite even more promoted and her grat comebakc after 4 years. UNA AND EVEN TTT OUTSOLD HER. You cannot keep resting on an album from 10 years ago when rih was 14 / 15.
Judge them now, as they go head to head. RIH IS ON TOP OF BEYONCE,
Well! It is official – UNAPOLOGETIC HAS OFFICIALLY OUTSOLD, BEYONCE LAST ALBUM. UNA is at 2.6 and 4 final tally was 2.1. Two rih albums in a row outsold beyonce 4. LOL LOL at beyonce saying rih does not make album, just singles. HA HA HA HA
TTT – 3.3
UNA 2.6
4 2.1
BOW DOW B******. The irony……..
I have just come back from the WHITE POP blogs, they said Rih and GAGA are the biggest pop stars in world. BYE BEYONCE, enjoy your retirement. RIP to the gril you used to see, her days are over, baby she’s over.
Lmao U are such an retarted f** lmaooooooooo Tell the gril RIP lmaooooooooooo. U are Stupid ass f*ck, just like ur fav lmao. Take ur illerate ass bac to school. Has Gaga and Hoeianna produce over 75 million albums? Neither has shown longevity. Hoeianna can’t sing or dance. She’s an Sub Par H**. Who produces booming single sales but no booming album sales. And that comes from Music critics and musicians lmao bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahaha #BIGGEST POPSTAR MY ASS
Lmao Umm……Where did two come from C*nt????? DIL = 12 MILLION. Bday = 7 million. IASF = close to 8 million. 4 = 2.5 million. KING B has 3 albums, with sales over 7 million. Hoeianna only has one lmaoooooooooooo. #PRESSED MUCH
Oh DIL is now at 12 million? LOL I can’t. The album has barely sold 8 million copies worldwide. It’s at 8.5 million at most. B Day is at 6.1, I Am Sasha Fierce at 7 and 4 at 2.6. She has yet to cross 25 million albums, sorry h** 😉
DIL HAS ONLY SOLD 11 AS STATED BY WIKIPEDIA AND THAT WAS IN 2003. RIH NOT EVEN AROUND, BUT, since rih came on the scene GGGB, LOUD TTT, RATED R AND UNA HAVE MANAGED TO go head to head with RIH AND BEAT HER. HA I am sure if rih was around in 2003 she would slayed DIL.
B**** u must b smoking crack and sniffing meth rite along with Hoeianna if u belive the lies. Um…Isn’t Hoeianna present now and KING B has sold more album and records than her slutty ass. 118 MILLION WITH 4 ALBUMS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>100 million sold with 7 albums lmfaooooooooooooooooo

Really great second week. Congrats. Other artists deserve this success too but it is what it is.
Congrats to Bruno Mars. He keeps on selling 40,000-50,000 copies per week non stop. He deserves it
Also, why are some people talking about gaga on this post? lol pressed. Didn´t know today was her birthday. Happy B day (I´m sure these obsessed followers knew it way better than people who like her like me). And thanks to the person who posted Cake like Lady Gaga. Haven´t heard it in months and that s*** is so funny
Ooops Young Mula done lost it LMAO, the sizzurp thing was unnecessary.
Why are people talking about Beyonce HERE? Dehydrated trolls, I swear.
STFU!
where are Dido sales?
