This Week In Flops 12/2/08

"Womanizer, woman-womanizer. You're a womanizer. Oh, womanizer, oh. You're a womanizer, baby!" That's that joint right there son! lol. Britney is back and I don't know what this project is gonna do. Her last album, 2007's Blackout, did 290,000 first week, but for some reason I don't see this one even doing that. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing 250k-285k, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it did close to 400k.

Speaking of not knowing where to go with a project, I am even more lose when it comes to Akon's. I know basically nothing about this shit, but its dropping today so I have to pick a number. Last go-round in 2006, Akon's second album did 284,000 in its first week, picked up steam, and had gone on to sell over 2.7 million copies. I'm not sure if Right Now (Na Na Na) or I'm So Paid have what it takes to build that kinda momentum, but then again if Smack That became a hit then anything is possible. I think I'll clock Kon somewhere between 175k-225k.

This is supposed to be Scarface's last project, but unfortunately it won't be rewarded with sales that say as much. This is fuckin' Scarface! What is going on in the world that one of the all-time greats is having a hard time garnering buzz for his last album?? I will say this though, if I hear ANY auto-tune on here I'll dip my dick in some anti-freeze. I'm gonna go with 30k-70k

I didn't even know this was coming out, but its O. Sparks so I figured I'd show it some love. It obviously isn't gonna do numbers, but its worth a shout out.
