This is crazy! Lol half of you are saying the digital sales are counted first, the other half say they're counted last.... As if that made any sense to the current numbers!!

Can we just all pray really hard so that she sells at least 286K :(

How many copies did Eminem sell in the first week

[mr.peter 3,515]

fingers crossed

[Forrest Gump 1]

when i divide the part (179,802.00) by the percent (32% = 0.32) i got 561,881.25

 

but she obviously didn't sell that much, meaning i'm terrible at math or that's not how these predictions work

Okay, so if we use simple math considering that the proportion of sales remain the same...

 

32% = 179.800

 

then...

 

100% would be around 561.875 copies.

 

 

 

 

We are still not sure how the other retailers will react, but I'd say the album will sell around 400.000 or maybe more.

How do we know how many copies she sold in H&M? Those sales are not counted here right? So it'd be nice to know we can add those to whatever HDD reports.

But why is Lorde so low when she was in top 5 for the whole week on iTunes?

This is so confusing 

 

I don't know why Lorde is so low - some of the others above her can be explained as new albums with pre-orders but not all.  Lorde might be selling proportionately worse on the retailers other than itunes that have reported.

 

However if itunes are not included in the present figure then HDD/Billboard projections are way off, and they should be saying something already.  The reasons to think itunes is there is because they are expected to be in early, and to make the HDD/Billboard projections fit.
