True, but streaming numbers would still be high because of Ariana and Blackpink no?

For sure, but boosting the album 100k sales? I don't think so.

[DonnieDarko 10,186]

The OP is predicting 220k pure sales? I'm sorry, I have to laugh.

At this stade of the music industry I’ll hope for 100’000-200’000

 

[Illuminati 15,374]

150k-200k

100 million streams = about 65,000 EAU so when you add that to TEA as well, it isn’t that unrealistic

I’m not seeing where tour bundles no longer count? Pretty sure it was specifically about tours that are canceled before the album comes out? I looked at google and billboard has issues no official statement on the matter 

I saw it in here a few days ago, turns out it was a misleading title

but I think regardless, a cancellation is to be expected so either way there won't be tour bundles

Between +200.000 & +500.000

Thanks for sharing. But it says this line “Moving forward, artists who have already cancelled their shows due to COVID-19 won’t have the same advantage The Weeknd was afforded” - doesn’t this mean Gaga won’t be affected? She hasn’t canceled yet? Everyone assumes the label will wait to cancel the tour until the album is out which would protect the bundles.  Also Billboard themselves never officially announced this and they always write articles about rule changes. I guess we’ll see !

150 is realitstic  and 200k would be very very good, everything above 200k will be super maginificent,  beyond 300k will be out of this world

[HookerOnAChurch 6,637]

150K. 

[Genuine Guy 09 13,941]

Billboard will count the bundles. If she cancels the tour then she has to. This is why i belive the album is coming out soon after the delay - its so she can comfortably collect the sales then cancel the tour 

@ARTPOPSYCHOLOGY re your post about Joanne - just remember digital sales have changed so much since 2016. they are lower now, and especially as we are in these dark times. If you look at Joanne it had:

2016 stronger sales climate + Amazon deal + SNL + Carpool Karaoke + Million Reasons ballad release in winter + a ballady album release in winter (that always attracts more sales)

It is hard to compare it to Joanne... Trust me, I want a good debut too with a smash album. she is capable of doing 200k,  but I am not seeing 300k currently. She would have to pull something out the bag 

[Juanlittlem 31,318]

I'd say she's doing 250k-300k at max, and I'll be fine with that. She has two big fanbases to support the streams, the tour bundle and even if she lacks on pure sales because of Covid she still will do quite ok.

[Thrasher 22,980]

Probably around 3.5M, definitely breaking Adele’s record

Tbh i am sorta setting myself up for disappointment with charts side of things this era so its good to see members being positive!

i want a good debut at #1 but with gaga shes known for being very frontloaded sans ASIB and The Fane. It would be better for me if she debuted at #2 and and then stayed top 10 for 2 months or something

[gaggs 1,080]

I feel like 290k-320k for some reason
