Klou 2,414 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) October doesn't qualify as the "holiday season", though. Maybe if she released her albums closer to Black Friday or Christmas, you'd have a point, but the only thing the holidays help are her sales for the first few months, not really the first week. Taylor has enough appeal to do a million in the dead sales season that is summer, if she really wanted to release new music then. Although I think she's probably peaked at this point, and her next album will dip to about 800-900k in its first week. But that's what I also said about Red. We'll see. She always releases late October, which is most definitely holiday season. I usually start hearing holiday ads early October.

Cherry 17 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I bet if she had done that Target deal it would of opened with over 1M even w/o Amazon. Y'all don't understand the power of those deals! I'm happy there's a chance Brit will get one. But she stood up for homophobia and took a stance, so that's very respectable and impressive nonetheless and human rights and more important than sales after all so I don't blame her. But I would of liked to see what it would of done for her sales. Target would have def. pushed it over a million if she stuck with it. The ad campaign was going to be more expensive than the one they did for Taylor Swift's Speak Now. I hope Gaga reconsiders working with Target now that they've changed their policies.

Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 If she does indeed release a second volume I wouldn't want it out till Summer 2014 at the soonest. Give her time to put out 4 non rushed singles from Vol. 1 not gonna happen, especially with Gaga and Britney coming that month. Rih better just bow out of this year gracefully so she doesn't get embarrassed. okay, just half of my prediction I guess. "A little less conversation and a little more touch my body."

Yeah, even Beyonce cracked 300K in June with 2 flop singles and a **** load of promo. And JT did it too even with S&T doing lackluster. And P!nk scored her highest first week sales of her entire career even when Blow Me only sold 2M and peaked at #5. Gaga has far more star power than them, so she could of done it.

WarriorPrince 1 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 She will totally sell more than 450K. Hopefully she won't release the second single in November/December. That could ruin the era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
