Pittsburgh rapper Mac Miller Scores #1 with 175-185k, Twilight, Now Bow
Rostrum Records rapper Mac Miller’s Blue Slide Park, distributed digitally by INgrooves and physically by Fontana, will debut at #1 smack dab in the middle of Q4, with estimates of between 175-185k, which might even be conservative.
This is a triumph of social networking and good, new-fashioned viral marketing, as Malcolm McCormick, the son of a Christian architect father and Jewish mother photographer, transforms his combined 2.7 million Twitter, Facebook and MySpace followers into an impressive debut.
This is Miller’s physical full-length debut after a series of well-received digital mixtapes, an EP, On and On and On Beyond, and a smash video in “Donald Trump.”
Those figures are based on one-day sales figures from music retailers, some of whom are even holding out at brick-and-mortar outlets, though it’s looking like digital might even surpass physical on this release.

It would be good if this mac miller/jazzy jeff album comes out soon it might give Jeff a bit more exposure..strange I know.. but it seems a white kid doing 1993 hip-hop is liked by kids these days..because they aren't taught their hip hop history so they'd rather listen to mac miller than hear brand nubian, krs 1 or a tribe called quest..
