Mac Miller’s debut album, Blue Slide Park, is currently projected to sell 100k copies in its very first week.

Technology is an incredible thing. Not only has it allowed us to project predicted album within 24 hours of an album dropping, such as the case with Wale’s Ambition album, but with pre-orders industry experts can predict what an album will sell before it even hits shelves and digital downloads.

Mac Miller has created quite a name for himself this year, with part of that due to the fact that his Best Day Ever mixtape was held in high regard among fans. Miller’s Twitter account recently passed 1 million followers and is quickly approaching the 1.1 million mark.

Although the Pittsburgh native’s studio album ‘Blue Side Park’ doesn’t release until November 8th, 2011, the pre-orders that have been available for over a month indicate that the album should sell around 100,000 copies in the first week. Blue Side Park is being released through INgrooves/Fontana/Rostrum Records.

“I’ve never seen an artist and label do a better job with social network one-to-one fan outreach, Max’s fans are beyond loyal. This is already a success because it’s been done outside the traditional ways of setting up a record, It’s being driven by everything Rostrum and Mac have done. We’re just trying not to screw it up, and to stay out of the way of the amazing story that they have built and are continuing to build, ” said Ben Kline, the SVP Global Sales and Marketing of INgrooves.
