Sales Predictions: Ne-Yo Set For Career Low With ‘R.E.D.’
The cover of Ne-Yo’s new album, ‘R.E.D.’.
No matter how much an artist promotes an album, if the material is weak and it lacks clear direction then it simply won’t sell. This will likely be the case with Ne-Yo’s lackluster ‘R.E.D.’ and sales predictions indicate that it will garner the lowest opening figures of his career to date.
‘R.E.D.’ is on track to sell 50K-60K copies in the US during its first week. Although the record will secure a slot in the top 10 of the Billboard 200, it will move the lowest opening numbers of Ne-Yo’s career. In fact, this sum represents roughly half of the 112K copies that the singer-songwriter’s lowest-selling album, ‘Libra Scale’, sold upon its debut in 2010.
Luckily for Ne-Yo, the lead ‘R.E.D.’ Pop single, ‘Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)’, is continuing to gain momentum on radio and is currently ranked in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. Watch the video for that song below:

he sold less than Brandy tho?
He’s the female version of Keri Hilson.
I think his low sales for this album is the reflection of him not appealing to both the Pop & R&B genres like he’s been able to do before. Ne-Yo has always been a crossover artist. I haven’t heard this song on any R&B stations. I think this song is good, but now a days it takes more than one hot single to push an album. I hope he sells more though.
lack of promo
one of those artists that have no business releasing ANY sort of article.
