However I do hope I'll eat my words
I was actually one of the people that didn't think that NL would outsell GUILTY. Despite having extremely powerful singles, I didn't think NL was going to do that greatly for some reason.

As for promotion... The current tour is one of her longest, isn't it? That'll definitely get people commenting; music shows eat this sort of stuff up when artists are on long tours and such. She's given a good mention of promotion in her blog entries, so this means she'll have a relatively decent amount of magazines to be promoted in. I'm sure she'll squeeze a few TV shows into it also, or possible a few radio shows.

I hate to guess sales really but I'd say 400k or 450k would be really good. I definitely think she can make it with this.
