Don't compare gagas sales to madonnas sales because in the 80's and 90's people actually bought music. It's moronic really.

And it's not similarly "moronic" to expect a 56 year old woman to outsell younger pop girls with her 12th album?

I don't know you would have to pose that question to the person who implied that. BYE!

Still believe that TS can pull her 3rd consecutive 1M+ opener. She's coming after a tour which sold out stadiums. Her album's being presented as her "first official pop album". I'm sure it'd right away attract interest from those who've supported her last two albums, just to check it out. If she won't, then I doubt anyone could, even Adele.  

 

As for Rihanna, I'm rooting for her best opening week sales yet. 238k isn't that hard to top, now that her last era has made her brand stronger (first #1 album on the BB 200, best opening week sales, top-grossing tour). I see no reason why it shouldn't be close enough to the opening week sales of her contemporaries. 

 

Also, I'm rooting for Nicki Minaj to get another #1 album, her third in a row since her debut. Madonna won't. Kesha would have a hard time, even more so without the help of Dr. Luke's hit-making machine.

Um, this was her 12th studio album, and she has been 35 years in the industry. You can't expect her to sell 1m for 35 years. Next Gagas album will be her fourth and she will be luckly to sell 175k

I don't even like Madonna, but be realistic

 

It's her 12th studio album. Her closest pop rival, Mariah Carey, sold almost the same (if not a little less even if we take away MDNA's 185k) for her 12th studio album, and she has a shorter (and way less controversial) career than Madge. So I'd say it's respectable. 

 

Basically this. 

I was thinking of a debut of like 300,000+. I begun tracking sales when BTW was released (I was not paying attention to her :toofunny:). Thanks for educating

Fall Out Boy was mid 2000s middle school, why are they Top 10 :awkney:

Because people can have careers that lasts more than a couple of years? :koons:

Based on the recent album sales I would say

Rih 200k

Taylor 500k

Adele little more than Tay

Beyonce sold 600k in 3 days on Itunes alone.

If Adele makes a surprise release she may shut down Itunes :rip:

Trainor's debut single rules the Hot 100 with top Airplay Gainer honors for a fifth consecutive week, surging 6-3 on Radio Songs with a 19 percent bump to 122 million in all-format audience, according to Nielsen BDS. It spends a fourth week atop Digital Songs (312,000 sold, essentially even from last week, according to Nielsen SoundScan) and returns for a second week at No. 1 on Streaming Songs (2-1), up by 19 percent to 15.5 million U.S. streams, according to BDS. It logs a third week on top of the subscription services-based On-Demand Songs chart with a 24 percent lift to 4.1 million.
 

As she leads the Hot 100 again, Trainor also debuts on the Billboard 200 with her debut four-song EP, Title. The set starts at No. 15 with 21,000 sold. Meanwhile, the release's "Dear Future Husband" debuts on the Hot 100 at No. 94.

(How did Trainor find out she'd hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 last week? "Landed in Australia and got the link from my mom and started balling. Pilot thought I was crazy lol," she tweeted. "Thank you to all the fans, my family, and my team for helping my first single get to Number 1!," she later wrote. "I still don't believe it! Can't stop tearing up, I'm so happy! What an incredible year this has been. Thank you thank you thank you.")

While "Bass" holds at No. 1 on the Hot 100, Swift makes a push to reclaim the throne: "Bass" gains by 11 percent in overall chart points, while "Shake" soars by 22 percent.

"Shake" claims top Digital and Streaming Gainer kudos, holding at No. 2 on Digital Songs, up by 10 percent to 309,000 sold, and powering 6-3 on Streaming Songs (11.1 million, up 58 percent). Why its big gain in streaming (when the song's official video premiered on Aug. 18, the day that it was released)? Swift posted four clips on her Vevo channel (on YouTube) in the past four days featuring outtakes from the video; as they include the song's audio, their clicks count toward the track's total streaming in the chart's tracking week.

On Radio Songs, "Shake" shimmies 7-4, up by 11 percent to 113 million.

At No. 3 on the Hot 100, Minaj's "Anaconda" drops 1-2 after three weeks atop Streaming Songs, although up by 5 percent to 13.7 million. It retreats 5-6 on Digital Songs (126,000, down 3 percent) and climbs 36-31 on Radio Songs (38 million, up 10 percent). "Anaconda" notches a fourth week at No. 1 on both Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs.

Making the Nos. 3 and 4 spots on the Hot 100 an especially perilous area, "Black Widow" moves next to "Anaconda," rising 5-4. "Widow" slinks 10-9 on Radio Songs (89 million, up 13 percent); dips 4-5 on Streaming Songs, but with a 2 percent increase to 7.6 million; and slips 4-5 on Digital Songs (127,000, down 11 percent).

Billboard Cover: Ariana Grande on Fame, Freddy Krueger and Her Freaky Past

Jessie J, Grande and Minaj's "Bang Bang" (4-5 on the Hot 100) gains in airplay, roaring by 22 percent to 70 million, and charges 16-13 on Radio Songs. It keeps at No. 3 on Digital Songs (147,000, down 14 percent) and drops 3-4 on Streaming Songs (7.5 million, down 6 percent).

Rounding out the Hot 100's top 10, Sam Smith's No. 2-peaking "Stay With Me" holds at No. 6 and tallies a sixth week at No. 1 on Radio Songs (132 million, down 9 percent); Grande's "Break Free," featuring Zedd, rebounds 8-7 (after rising to No. 4) and leads Hot Dance/Electronic Songs for a fifth week; Maroon 5's No. 6-peaking "Maps" travels 9-8; MAGIC!'s former six-week No. 1 "Rude" falls 7-9; and Charli XCX's "Boom Clap" returns to the region and its peak rank (11-10).


where is Clear Bandit? :emo:

Sneaky Swift. Still not enough to beat Meghan's streaming.
