Planet earth only gon to do 100k

http://www.hitsdailydoubl...ormill.cgi

CALLING PLANET EARTH: The Artist Still Known as Prince is on target to sell approximately 100k of his new album, Planet Earth, and first for Columbia, which is kinda dwarfed by the 2.8 million he gave away a couple of weekends ago in the U.K. with copies of the Sunday Mail. Strangely, he hasn’t made it available on iTunes, but the single, “Guitar,” is available as a download on Verizon. That will put him into a head-to-head battle with UTV/UMe’s Now 25 in its second week and Disney’s Hannah Montana 2 soundtrack. Among the other chart newcomers, Island’s Canadian rockers Sum 41 look to be in the 35-40k range for their new album, Underclass Hero, while Billy Ray Cyrus (or Daddy Montana) could do an impressive 20k for his Buena Vista bow. Marc Anthony’s Sony Norte soundtrack for the movie El Cantante, in which he stars with wife Jennifer Lopez, appears to be headed for 20-25k, while Epic’s Yung Berg EP should sell 15k, give or take. Overall, the market was down slightly more than 2% vs. last week, down almost 9% from same week last year and now down under 15% year-to-date. You may now return to perusing Dan’s Papers while lounging in your Hamptons beach house. (7/25p)

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Man, that's an early call after only a day and a half of sales. I think it will hit 125,000-150,000, debut in the top 3 (likely number 1) and go on to sell 500 or 600 K. But what do I know?
All good things they say never last...
