"Next week's No. 1 slot could see a return visit from Eminem, as his "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" might skip back to the top of the list. It would mark the second chart-topping week for the album, which debuted at No. 1 a week ago, selling 792,000 according to Nielsen SoundScan. Lady Gaga's current No. 1, "ARTPOP," could also hold atop the list. It bowed in the penthouse this week with 258,000 sold."

 

Pretty obvious it's not gonna happen though

 

The only contender is billed to sell around 80,000 copies, and for ARTPOP to sell over that it could only afford around a 31% drop - about half of the usual industry second week fall. But, considering that the first week wasn't particularly incredible perhaps it doesn't have too much room to fall.

 

I reckon ARTPOP will go head to head with it. The band, Five Finger Death Punch is currently only #4 on iTunes and I'm sure Gaga's leading them on physicals.

I am scared about ACT 2 etc.. :X  She better release Gypsy as the 3rd single let It smash, and then she better release a smash for a lead single for the Act 2 because If she releases another Applause IDk .. the album sales will be really low and It will look even worse with a 2nd album :rip:

I can't even see Interscope letting her release ACT 2 when ACT 1 is doing so poorly. It just doesn't make sense, they would lost so much money. Isn't part 2 usually for albums that are extremely successful?! I think she's just going to release them via APP.

I'm sure they'd let her do it if it was a TFM/Re-Up situation where it's basically a short album billed as a re-release to boost the overall sales. I'd be shocked if they were down to put out Act 2 as a full album

Actually, this Volume II possibility has got me thinking. What if...

 

 

August 19 - Applause
October 21 - Do What U Want
November 11 - ARTPOP Volume I

 

January 20 - Gypsy 
March 29 - ARTPOP tour begins in US
March 31 - MANiCURE 
June 10 - G.U.Y.
August 11 - Sexxx Dreams (maybe w/ Rihanna, given lead single sort of treatment for complete experience release)

September 30 - ARTPOP Volume II (only 500,000 II copies, rest as ARTPOP: Complete Volume)

October - AP II Single if she wants

I doubt it'll get a second week at #1 but it's a good sign that they think she can compete with an album selling 80k :excited2:

 

I'm expecting 40k to be honest

If ARTPOP gets 80k that would be a 69% drop not 31. I think she'll end up around 65k. And there's no way Eminem sells below 100k this week so he'll get the #1 easily.

Don't mind me, I did 80 ÷ 259 x 100.

Eminem's bound to make a rebound next week. Not only is he an established album seller, he also has a worldwide smash hit in his favor. I just hope ARTPOP manages to stay within the top five next week. And more so, I hope the AMA performance would both move the sales of DWUW and the album itself upwards. It has to, same goes with all the major artists performing at the AMAs.
