Hoping Ariana #1 and Tamar #2 as predicted. Liking Ariana's better but I wish they could both get #1 though.

This is yours, my precious Ariallah. Tamar's music is corny as hell just like her.

Very impressed with Tamar. I take back my statement about 100K being way too high!

Wow at Ariana....thought she would pull a CRJ! Yeah, I was definitely expecting an artist with a presence on Nickelodeon, a strong fanbase and plenty of YouTube hits to sell as much as an artist associated with one massive hit single.

Billboard seems quite confident that Ariana will be #1 next week, so don't get your hopes up for Tamar and NIN.

Tamar will be easily be #1 on the R&B albums chart. I think Ariana has this.

Tamar will be easily be #1 on the R&B albums chart. I think Ariana has this. But what if Billboard lets Ariana on the R&B charts? With all the Mariah comparisons, it's quite possible.

If someone would've told me a year or two ago that Robin Thicke and a Braxton would be chart-toppers in 2013... I'd have said keep dreaming Miss Cleo...

That's actually a bit more than I expected for Tamar. Ariana sounds about right.

I would like to know how these predictions are made cause I mean, Tamar has a new show today, a Jimmy Fallon performance on Friday and a live show special on Centric TV Maybe that will give her some extra sales that were not counted for this prediction *hope*

How much did Tamar's first album sell? The one with "Get None" and "If U Don't Wanna Love Me"

I was hoping NIN would fare just a bit more than that. The thing is that Hesitation Marks is really good. The last album that I think can be given a fair comparison sales-wise would be Year Zero, since Ghosts is instrumentals and non-commercial and The Slip is still available for free, even if it had the run of physical copies.
