9/18 projections

SEPTEMBER SONGS, 9/18: We’ve been focusing on next month’s double-dip Super Tuesday in this space, and we’re not about to stop now—not with the promise of an escape from the seemingly endless summer doldrums. Here and immediately below are the latest first-week sales estimates for the latest releases from acts who have meant something commercially in the past. And if some of these numbers strike you as optimistic, bear in mind that this is an inexact science.

Nelly Furtado (Geffen) 25k
G.O.O.D. Music Compilation (Def Jam/IDJ) 200k
Carly Rae Jepsen (Schoolboy/Interscope) 100k
Michael Jackson, Bad – 25th Anniversary Edition (Legacy) 150k
The Killers (Island/ID J) 125k
P!nk (RCA) 200k
Wiz Khalifa (Atlantic) 250k

Additionally, Ne-Yo (Def Jam/IDJ) moves to November. (8/28a)
