As the breakout star of ‘Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta’, singer K. Michelle has seen her debut album ‘Rebellious Soul’ become one of the most anticipated R&B releases of the year.
Boosted by lead single ‘V.S.O.P’ and a season-long curtain call on the VH1 show (she’ll be side-stepping over to the New York version this Fall), all eyes are on how the project will fare in its premiere week.
The first semblance of an answer awaits after the jump…
According to Hits Daily Double, the Soul-filled collection is set to open with first-week sales of…
65,000-70,000
**************
For an R&B album…in 2013…from a name so heavily associated with a reality show…we feel the numbers are commendable. Should sales stay steady, which they certainly could (especially in light of the Fall arrival of ‘Love & Hip-Hop: New York’), K could be on to a commercial winner. Longevity is the key!
