Interesting

[Fiona Apple 13,006]

Not sure if those are terrible or good

[Paper Gangsta 6,693]

But what was 1D in 3 days?

This isn't a great comparison without values at which we can compare.

100k in one day apparently. Check the article

Ooh, this is gonna be good

great lmao. Selena & Demi did 70-80k overall. 1D has 127k only from preorders

Ah, the (in blank days) threw me off. I thought you were saying that each album got that many pre-orders (in __ days). Might wanna update the OP with a quote of the article to dissipate confusion.

They're both pretty good, but probably not great in relation to Beib's past albums. I'd be happy with 37 individual pre-orders if I put out an album

Well 1D are so much more popular/famous than both of them combined though..

what do you mean? these are figures for preorders "in __ days". HDD just updated them. I don't understand what are you trying to say?

1Ds pre-orders

Obviously that will be very front-loaded as most things are with them, but that's more than most acts would hope to in their first weeks overall lol. I'm sure they do very well with physicals as well.

"both went on pre-order last Friday"

They both started pre-orders on the same day, but the OP makes it seem as though Bieb's album has been open to pre-order for 3 days and 1D's for 28 days..

I'm not here for fangirls stealing dad's credit card to buy 100 copies of 1D's album and call it a commercial success.  Sorry not sorry

Multiple purchases by same person don't count    Demi fans made that mistake. All these cds count as only one purchase
