Jonathan2244 1,858 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Nobody coming close to dethroning Queen Meghan, even with X-Factor performances. Future million-seller monster hit I think 1 million is on lock and maybe even dethroning someone like you. I just think it will be 1 hit oneder though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaMyBlood95 9,899 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Taylor really has longevity, I'm expecting BIG album sales! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cersei 56 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Taylor really has longevity, I'm expecting BIG album sales! Same, she's really ramped up the expectations, and I thought Red's opening numbers were a one shot success! 1989 could shift 100K in the UK I reckon, but not that much more! (that is a bloody good first week sale btw, i'm not being shady... taylor would do well to do that!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryBlond 14,263 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Wow, 1D are seriously going to be unlikely to get this #1? If so, this will make it their second consecutive album where they failed to get a UK #1 (their later singles never stand a chance) and considering that this time, this is with over a month's worth of preorders, this isn't good. Which might well be it set in stone that their days of UK #1's are behind them. Judging by the performance of the song worldwide, the days of them getting massive global hits may be behind them too. I know that the video isn't out yet and they haven't promoted the track yet, but these haven't been vital to getting #1's before. The pre-order should've been enough to secure it. Considering that they've just completed a massive stadium tour, this #1 should be easy as pie, both here and worldwide. Looks like 5SOS is starting to replace them quicker than expected. Just like we've seen with Anaconda, sometimes, a long pre-order plus streaming just isn't enough. You've actually got to get out there and promote. Considering she had a 2 month pre-order, a clean version also charting and streaming counting towards the charts, the fact she couldn't get to #1 shows just how much she's fallen in the public's perception. I don't know why Nicki ignores the UK so much. It's up there with USA, Canada and Australia as her biggest markets. I could count on one hand the amount of times she's promoted in the UK. I believe her last televised UK appearance was on Graham Norton in 2012 and she didn't even perform. Same, she's really ramped up the expectations, and I thought Red's opening numbers were a one shot success! 1989 could shift 100K in the UK I reckon, but not that much more! (that is a bloody good first week sale btw, i'm not being shady... taylor would do well to do that!) 100k isn't going to happen. I think sales will be higher than Red, but not that high. I've noticed that even the big pop hits can't seem to translate into album sales. I think it's because people ultimately see them as guilty pleasures and they wouldn't actually buy a whole album like that, or they'll at least wait a few weeks so that they can hear how good it is first or stream it. Pharrell had 3 non-consecutive weeks at #1 with Happy, which is the biggest selling single of the year (and factor in his success with Get Lucky and Blurred Lines) and yet, he could only get a 70k opening week. Rather Be had 4 consecutive weeks at #1 and was the second biggest hit of the year, yet their album only went to #3 and last time I checked, its barely sold 60k. I've seen similar stories with other hits. Even with all her success, I doubt when Meghan releases her first album, it's going to be a bestseller. Pop simply isn't selling like it used to. People want pop singles more than they want pop albums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Yes, without having long-standing country fans in UK like she has in US, I'd expect Taylor's Katy-sounding album to sell like Katy Perry's last pop album. At best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
