brownie 5 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 "This week, ARTPOP moves to No. 8 with 46,000 (down 82%). It's the third No. 1 debut this year to decline by 80% in its second frame, following Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience (2 of 2) (down 80.1%) and Kanye West's Yeezus (down 80.3%). It's become more common to see No. 1 debuts dip by more than 75% in their second week, as increased focus is placed on first-week sales and pre-orders. That emphasis can drive debut sales to great heights, but also create situations where an album cannot sustain those front-loaded sales into its second week." -THR What do you guys think? Can she maintain sales at this level, or will it drop off even more? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Americano 31,061 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Its not going to keep falling. If you actually decided to read the article instead of being melodramatic, you'd see these plunges are unfortunately common now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
