First Week Sales Prediction of Rick Ross's "Rather You Than Me" Album

Miami rapper, Rick Ross is about to drop his 9th album, Rather You Than Me (on March 17th 2017), and I want to attempt to predict what it would sell in its first week. First of all, congrats to him for making it this far. 9 albums in 11 years...not bad. Some rappers don't even make it to album number 3 before they fall off. Although Ross ain't buzzing like he was a couple of years ago, he can still be considered an 'A' list rapper. 

Rick Ross has never been a big seller, and he is no longer in his prime, so I would say this album would sell between 40-60k copies first week...plus or minus. The album drops tomorrow, so if you are a fan of his music, go out and support him by getting yourself a physical copy of the album. Rather You Than Me has guest appearances from Nas, Gucci Mane, Future and a host of other rappers. 

Below is the album tracklist...



1. “Apple of My Eye” Feat. Raphael Saadiq
2. “Santorini Greece”
3. “Idols Become Rivals” Feat. Chris Rock
4. “Trap Trap Trap” Feat. Young Thug and Wale
5. “Dead Presidents” Feat. Future, Jeezy and Yo Gotti
6. “She on My Dick” Feat. Gucci Mane
7. “I Think She Like Me” Feat. Ty Dolla $ign
8. “Powers That Be” Feat. Nas
9. “Game Ain’t Based On Sympathy”
10. “Scientology”
11. “Lamborghini Doors” Feat. Meek Mill and Anthony Hamilton
