I predict Justin's 2nd week sales to be about 300k

300k for a second week it's too high.

 

It would be less than 250k for sure

Because Billboard made such a big deal about it. They wrote an article on how it was the largest % drop in history, and naturally every hater got excited.  :roll:

 

Gaga still held on to #1 the 2nd week even after such a big drop and competing with Adele, but people quickly overlook that fact. :crossed:

 

 

No worries  :runhug:

I hope he takes away MDNA's shameful record of largest sales drop % :cry:

I doubt he'll fall as hard as Madonna or Gaga. M and Gags both had tactics that inflated their first week sales whether it was intentional or not (like the Amazon deal, doubt Gaga wanted that). JT didn't really have any tactics that would inflate sales if I remember correctly.

That's very true. I agree.

 

Still tho, PRAYING  :reductive:

JT had inflating tactics, though nbot as radical as Madonna and Gaga:

Justin Timberlake's '20/20 Experience' Sells 968,000

 

Sources say Apple's iTunes Store was the top seller of "20/20" for the week, as overall digital sales, with Target its No. 2 account. The latter was the only retailer with an exclusive version of the album: It includes two bonus songs unavailable anywhere else: "Dress On" and "Body Count." Target has been heavily promoting the album via a series of TV commercials, the first of which premiered during CBS' broadcast of the Grammy Awards on Feb. 10. For its part, iTunes had an exclusive stream of "20/20" that premiered on March 11 -- more than a week before the album dropped on March 19.

 

During "20/20's" debut week, the lowest advertised price for the album at a national retailer was $7 -- both Walmart and Amazon.com were selling the physical CD for that price. Target promoted its exclusive version for $9.99. iTunes and its main competitor, Amazon MP3, sold the standard digital album for $10.99.

 

In the lead-up to the release of the album, Timberlake hosted and performed on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" (March 9) and had a week-long residency on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" (March 11-15). He also starred in his own TV concert special, "Target Presents: The iHeartRadio Album Release Party," which aired twice on the CW during release week: March 19 and 22. The show was first streamed live on the Web via the iHeartRadio service on March 18.

They HAVE to... I'm not here for him having a 21-sized hit album before Gaga. :crossed:

Srsly, I'd rather listen to femme fatale... At least it has songs with lots of replay value.

6.99 is unusually low, even for first week l doubt that's the permanent price.
