justalovegame 0 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Are there estimates for how the 2nd part of 20/20 will do? It's current pre-order positions don't look good. Part 1 pulled 150K on preorders alone. Part 2 doesn't seem to hold the same so I'll say 500K at least. GaGa has probably sold 60K in preorders by now btw.

Americano 31,061 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 I think with all of the new releases, it's underscoring the need for some form of album taster mix video or a promo single or something. Stuff that wouldnt distract from Applause in the US but also things that will cause a splash. With so much going on, she needs to remain part of the conversation instead of getting drowned out (which she is) This album promo is nothing like BTW, esp with the Judas floppage etc, so I dont think itd be fair to say promo singles altogether are always a bad idea Justin is RUMORED to release this week, yes. BUT I think that since he and Britney are on the same label, they wouldn't want to put 2 of their artists head 2 head like that. My guess is that it'll be out next week. One week before his new album. Makes sense! Happy with Britney's iTunes performance so far. She's getting good updates and hopefully can get that #1 spot in the next 2-3 hours. The song debuts at #46 on Pop with just over 6M AI. Her radio deal ended at 3PM EST so I expect a 7M+ update for tomorrow. I predict 250K-300K sales. Or around 220K minimum. Anything less, I'd consider disappointing. She's also appearing in iHeart Radio this weekend and GMA tomorrow so that's great. Video premiere will probably be in 2 weeks or so. My guess is Sep 30 because it'll be the 15th anniversary of BOMT. Hmm.. now the real fun begins. Will it stick? We'll find out! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it stick? We'll find out! I agree with you. Now is the time to do promo so Gaga does not get drowned with new releases. What is this b---h doing? Putting more "final touches" on ARTPOP? Get your ass out there and promote!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy8923 9 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Hmm.. now the real fun begins. Will it stick? We'll find out! I was thinking about it and was comparing it to S&S chart performance. S&S was basically completely video driven. If I remember correctly, it peaked at #7 on iTunes and then kinda just lingered there until the video snippet premiered on X-Factor and then the official video the next day, and then it jumped to #1 where it stayed for 6 days. HIAM had the disadvantage that the video was released SIX weeks after the song came out. SIX. With NO promotional spots in between. Overall, I'd say that if the promotion tomorrow goes well, if the video is good, and the song continues to get consistent radio updates, then I'd say 2M-2.5M is on lock. EDIT: And a Top 5 peak. Hopefully Top 3, but that's a stretch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pie-kun 1,765 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Of all the big releases lately + the ones coming out this week, which do you think will stick and which will fade? I'm betting Britney and Eminem will fade, JB probably won't even be any real competition and the JT song is up in the air when you contrast the success of Holy Grail and Take Back the Night.

craig 680 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Most of Gaga's rivals release first, so expect them to do more and generate more buzz the next month. Gaga gets to have the last word before Black Friday. By then Miley's album will have fallen well out of Top 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

justalovegame 0 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Do you think she'll be able to move >100K pre-orders before release? Depends on her PROMO tbh. The album is currently #49 so I'll make an estimated guess and say she's selling around 3K per week? So with with around 7 weeks left till the release, she can cap out at around 80K? If she did promo I'd say she could do 100K easily. Again though, my estimates might be off. Digital album sales are usually never given out with positions on iTunes.
