ONE-DAY SALES: MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE BERTH

Meek Mill, Stewart, Keith Lead Debuts, but the East's Mega-Storm Clouds the Readings

October 31, 2012

With much of the East Coast still digging its way out from superstorm Sandy's wake, there's a larger margin of error than usual in this week's numbers. But Maybach/Warner Bros. hip-hop phenom Meek Mill is stepping out strong, leading the key debuts with a projected 175-200k for his Dreams & Nightmares. He's got a huge constituency in New York, though, so the figures we're seeing may be unusually susceptible to this very inclement weather.
In other new-release news, Rod Stewart's holiday set on Verve is expected to ring in 80-85k; country stalwart Toby Keith (Showdog) should fetch 50-55k; Neil Young's newest on Reprise, the possibly non-prescription Psychedelic Pill, is due to ingest 30-35k; A&M/Octone's Flyleaf is on track for 15-18k; and Ultra/Roc Nation/Columbia EDM hero Calvin Harris will likely move 10-12k.

We'll keep you posted on these and other titles as things slowly return to relative normalcy--and, as ever, we send our best wishes to everyone who's been weathering the storm.

congrats meek milly...

You sound moronic. Nas been in the game damn near two decades and had a successful career. It's not "!!ed up" that new gimmickless talent is making the transistion to the top of the game because that keeps the genre alive. The last line made less sense than the rest of the post, so I can't even build on it. Stop being a groupie....

Incredible album and great projected numbers.

Strong start he will most likely go Gold like Wale & Ross did earlier this year to complete the trifecta.

Well deserved.
