According to Hits Daily Double, industry insiders estimate that the singer’s sixth album will sell approximately 120,000 copies in its first week — he will compete with Barbra Streisand‘s Partners for the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart. The crooner’s projected sales start is slightly less than that of 2012’s Fortune, which debuted at number one and sold 135,000 copies in its first week.
The disc includes contributions from Trey Songz, R. Kelly, Akon, Kendrick Lamar and Aaliyah, as well as production from Diplo, Timbaland, Polow Da Don, Danja and Drumma Boy.
The official sales tally will be released next Wednesday.
