HITS predix: Elliott 15-20k

HITS Daily Double released its one-day sales estimates for the coming week, and Elliott Yamin's sophomore album was included in the forecast. HDD has it debuting at 15-20k for the week:

Other promising debuts include Ferret’s Devil Wears Prada, a Dayton, OH, anti-materialist Christian metal-core outfit (25-30k) and Virgin’s Ben Harper and the Relentless7 (20-25k), followed by Hickory American Idol alum Elliott Yamin, Columbia Britain’s Got Talent winner Paul Potts and UMe’s artist formerly kinown as Cat Stevens, Yusuf, all at 15-20k. E1’s Hatebreed round out the newcomers, with a total in the 12-15k range.

This is a far cry from my bold prediction of 45k, which looks a little unrealistic when examining it further. Still, Elliott should be able to do well over time and it should be a consistent seller assuming he can get a hit radio-wise.
