Based on one-day projections, the album should easily debut at number one.

Big Sean (Def Jam) 140-150k SPS, 120-130k sales.
Kid Rock (Warner Bros.) 125-130k SPS, 120-125k sales
Chris Brown & Tyga (RCA) 70-75k SPS, 50-55k sales (HITS Daily Double)

Check out what Big Sean said about album sales on the next page…

Within a recent FADER magazine interview, Sean downplayed the idea of basing his LP’s success on sales.

Do you think you can beat the Drake tape in sales? I don’t know about that. The most important thing about this album is that I’m proud of how it sounds. As a person, I’ve been growing up more and becoming better all around. I see the progression in myself—not just as an artist. I hope other people can see that, too. I feel like this is the album where, even people who may not be Big Sean fans, the tide might turn for them. (The FADER)

Sean also acknowledged the inevitability of retail releases coming out ahead of schedule.

Are you disappointed Dark Sky Paradise leaked? I was disappointed, but obviously albums leak. It’s not that big of a deal. I’m happy it didn’t happen earlier. I remember my first album leaked three weeks ahead. It seems to be getting a good response, so I just tell people who like it: go out and cop. (The FADER)

The new album comes fully stacked with collaborations from Drake, Kanye West and E-40.

1. “Dark Sky (Skyscrapers)”
2. “Blessings” (feat. Drake)
3. “All Your Fault” (feat. Kanye West)
4. “I Don’t F**k With You” (feat. E-40)
5. “Play No Games” (feat. Chris Brown & Ty Dolla $ign)
6. “Paradise (Extended)”

  1. CB & Tyga Album is horrible…Tyga already suck and CB needs stick 2 R&B…Album probably could’ve been a lil worth something if it was more of a Best Of Both Worlds kind of album…But CB rappin on every song..Nahhh..Big Sean album is jus as garbage…

    • started freelancing at home, working basic jobs which only required a computer and internet access and it’s been a lifesaver for me… It’s been 6 months since i started this and i earned so far in total 36,000 bucks… Basicly i make about $80/hour and work for 3 to 4 h daily.And great thing about this is that you can work when it’s convenient to you and the payments are weekly.
