Who Thinks Chinese Democracy will go in at number 1 on the Billboard Charts?

[AppetiteForChinese]

to me the only way it won't is if some lame ass rap or cheesy throwaway pop band that the media promotes comes out the same day
i guess we'll see soon

[CheapJon]

i think so

[Mark7955]

There is no doubt in my mind that it will come out as number 1 

[novemberparadise23]

if the record company promotes it properly and they release a good 1st single i see no reason it shouldnt go number 1

[oldgunsfan]

morbid curiosity

[EFISH]

Deffinetly will go #1.
It's gonna be huge.

[GNRreunioneventually]

i say it will be at #1 on the charts and stay there.........for a year .........................well atleast 6 or 7 months

[Jackamo!]

Top 20, hopefully.

[ColdRose]

I strongly believe it will debut at #1, but hey that's just me

[spyder8739]

 Yessir. Number 1 on all of the charts. 

[bigbri]

Seriously? It'll be No. 1 no problem. The question is will it have the biggest 1st week of the year?

[jthunders13]

the only way it wont is if it debuts against eminem or 50 cent...but i think 400-500K is the low end of what it should do...its difficult to gage but a million plus isnt out of the question...

[Tyson]

It will most likely go number 1 for atleast the first week based on the GNR name alone. ?Then after that, its longevity will depend upon promotion, quality, media expose, etc. ?Here's to hoping that it is ever even released! ?

[Verse Chorus Verse]

Not me. The market has changed in the past 15 years. It'll be Fergie, or 50 Cent, or some other wanna-be-no-talent-mother-fucker that takes the spot. It sucks to say it, but it's probably true.

[GnR-NOW]

I don't think it will come out #1 but if it's a good album it will get there.

[The Legend]

to me the only way it won't is if some lame ass rap or cheesy throwaway pop band that the media promotes comes out the same day

Even if the biz's top music guy released an album on the same day, I believe CD will debut at #1.

I know the sayings, if the album debuts at #1, the only place it can go is down, but with a name like Guns N' Roses, and the anticipation of this album, I can't see anything keeping it from not going #1 on the debut week, except poor promo.

[Robman?]

I think it will

what does it have to compete against?

[Bodhi]

it should debut at number 1 the first week no problem...i am more interested in seeing how it does the following weeks.....whether or not it drops right off the charts like alot of people are predicting....i dont think that will happen...but i am interested in seein what does happen

[freedom78]

if the record company promotes it properly and they release a good 1st single i see no reason it shouldnt go number 1

I agree with this...the GNR name isn't going to get MOST of the market to bite.  A great single, and good promotion (and the fact that Axl seems to have a decent relationship with MTV) will be key.  If they do it right, and no "huge" releases come out that week, I think it could debut that high.  Hell...Iron Maiden debuted at #9 in the US, last year, and that probably didn't do as well as CD will in its first few weeks.  SO, I'm sure it'll have a top 5 debut...how high depends on the single, though.

[icpillusions]

It will definately be #1. I would assume it only takes like 100k copies to be #1, if there isn't major competition.
