Yikes! Robin Thicke’s Only Expected To Sell How Much Of ‘Paula’ In Its First Week?!
The two big releases yesterday were Trey Songz’ Trigga and Robin Thicke’s Paula, but it’s not looking too good for the latter. First week sales projections are in, and Trey can sit tight knowing his album is expected to move around 85-90k, making him a likely contender for the top spot. Unfortunately, Robin cannot say the same, as it’s looking like Paula is on track to move around 20-25k copies. Yikes! I don’t think that’s going to help his campaign to get wifey back at all…unless maybe she feels so bad for him that she takes him back? LOL! What do you think? Let us know in the comments!
