MonsterMarty 96 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Then you're probably going to be disappointed lol. A 375k prediction is good - not only is it the biggest of all the pop stars released/releasing this year, but it is also sets us up for happiness and excitement if it does more than that. JT sold 986K on his opening week this year, that won't be topped. Eminem will have a higher debut week (though we can discount him as a pop artist I suppose). Gagz looks set to be the highest female debut, which, considering Miley's impact this year and KP coming off an era with billions of AIs and a movie is actually pretty brilliant. I'd really like her to push over the 400K mark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

uo111 5,251 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 They are really low balling there numbers I see. They must be embarrassed because Katy sold 200,000 less than what was "predicted" They will be embarassed again when Gaga sells 200,000 more copies than what is predicted.

I'd really like her to push over the 400K mark. I forgot about JT, so yeah, among the pop girls. Which like you said, is a great feat. I think 400k+ is likely, the promo so far is good. But she has a lot more good promo to come with AMAs, Thanksgiving special, etc. And with it being the holidays, it'll keep selling consistently well throughout the next two months.

GHGUY 230 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hopefully it will be one of those albums that consistently sells over time.... not just frontload and then drop drastically in sales the next week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kermit the frog 1,895 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 That's a good number. She needs hits to keep it steady. DWUW will surely do its job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magoo 6 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 It seems they sprouted a prediction out of mid air without any basis given for it. Without any reasons, the figure is no better than any one else's random number. Predictors for first week album sales are (i) the figure previous album(s) by the artist sold, and (ii) how many pre-orders it has already. Based on that evidence versus the figures of comparable artists I would hope the figure of 375K is far too low. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
