Sales will depend heavily on grown ups as the little kiddies will probably go for Ashanti's Casio Christmas album.

I definitely WANT to be proven wrong, but I have no reason to be. I would say this promotion sucks, but THERE IS NO PROMOTION! You have to have promotion to say promotion sucks. It should have a decent chart run through the holidays. Alama

However, in L.A., the Target on La Cienega (in a majority black district) was SOLD OUT of all Whitney CDs yesterday. I'll go back if I get a chance today to see if they put any more out, but they were COMPLETELY out of Whitney yesterday.

Diamond Posts: 5182 Nov 21 03 11:05 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	if thats true, weve got 275,000 copies to buy up this weekend. we dont want retailers to think they were right in only ordering 40 copies. ps. i went to a local target and they had whitney in the christmas section and her section and there were only about 6 copies on the shelves between the two places. but its still anonying that she wasnt put with the new releases also.
