GagaMyBlood95 9,901 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 It would put it at more like 780K then! - but don't want to expect that much - I'm thinking 550K ish. - and don't use that formula for One Direction whatever you do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick4bty 2,758 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 With Born This Way, the album, digital sales accounted for about 40% of total album sales (936,000 digital copies and 2,300,000 copies sold in total) With The Fame/The Fame Monster the situation is more complicated. The Fame is listed in the top selling digital albums of all time in the USA, having sold over 1,057,000 digital copies. As we all know, The Fame sales (4,525,000) include those editions where the album was sold as a double-CD with both, The Fame and The Fame Monster. Besides, The Fame Monster EP itself also sold over 1,566,000 copies. I don't know if The Fame digital sales also include those digital packages where The Fame was downloaded together with The Fame Monster. Anyway, her digital sales with The Fame/The Fame Monster account for just 23% (or even 17%). A smaller proportion of digital sales for The Fame/The Fame Monster is likely to represent the fact that her first two albums were more crossover with the general public and casual music fans. Cause if you take a look at the digital sales, then you'll see the Born This Way numbers are not that far away from The Fame (936,000 vs 1,057,000 respectively). The Fame definitely had more crossover appeal (it was a successful debut album afterall), but the BTW 40/60 would probably have been 30/70 without the 99 cent deal. So I think it's safe to assume Gaga will repeat with a (near) 30% digital, 70% physical ratio for ARTPOP. Which means, accounting for its pre-orders and expected digital sales during debut week, it should sell well over 500k. But who knows lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daviddarko 144 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 88K was not the number of Prism pre-orders though (unless you have other info to suggest that?). 88K was the difference between the actual and predicted sales of Roar last week which is the number of 'Complete My Albums'. But a lot of Complete My Albums are not by way of any pre-order but by people who just bought the single then the album when it was released. Probably not more than half that 88K was pre-orders. When WOA and DH were released the number of auto-preorder downloads were only in the 15-20K range incidentally. Magoo: How many pre-orders had Prism?

Magoo 6 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Magoo: How many pre-orders had Prism? I don't know any published figure for Prism pre-orders but a while ago singles delivered under a pre-order did not register towards the single sales (or even on itunes) so were not affected by Complete My Album (CMA). Then, CMA was entirely due to people who had bought the single, and then the album upon its release. At that time I would typically see the CMA on a lead-single to be in the range of 15-20% of the first week's album sale. So Prism with 287K sales would in the past have been expected to result in a CMA of 43K - 57K for Roar. However the CMA is now augmented by Roar's additional deliveries under the pre-order. If the total CMA was 88K then the number of pre-orders by difference would be in the range 31K - 45K. Of course now, the practise of pre-ordering is encouraged more so probably we are looking at Prism preorders above the upper end of that range say 50K pre-orders + 38K new Complete My Albums. The figures for Prism are very similar to those for Bangerz which had a total of around 84K CMA against Wrecking Ball so presumably also a similar number of pre-orders.
