She's got Papa John's and a race car as promo... Plus a Monday release. I'd be shocked if she didn't get 1 million, tbh.
Also not sure what to take from that predictions vs. actual list. Many were way under, many way over. Only the Killers and No Doubt were pretty close.

I want Taylor to sell 1 million digital albums.
At least it'd be a new record or something.

Anyone remember how the promo single did for Speak Now? If all of these new ones out sold the Speak Now promos then I would feel confident making a 1 million opening prediction. With sales the way they are you pretty much cheer for anyone to have a big opening.

Brandy tightened up toward the upper end of her initial prediction, Miguel and P!nk are both still hanging in the top 10, and Adele might return to the top 10. LOL at that 275k prediction for Unapologetic.

I think if Carrie Underwood had been photographed kissing another man in a bar a couple weeks before Blown Away was released, then she would have faced a bigger sales hit than Jason is now. Male artists in country get more leeway than female ones in terms of acceptable behavior, though in an "adulterous" situation, a female artist can be forgiven if the man she is cheating with is an equal/bigger country star and they end up being a country supercouple. Then everybody thinks, oh they're musical soulmates who belong together, and then they get to be country royalty. But if she's married and just hooking up with random guys, I think quite a few country fans would be very judgmental about that.

So Tay is for sure doing 1 mil+ again? Guess all the Gaga and Brit stans will be coming out of the woodworks next week... Hits is saying 900k, but you know Taylor's label is going for 1 million!

275k for Rihanna? Doubt it, probably similiar to Loud if not TTT.

You have to take in account that digital sales overall are significantly higher then they were two years ago. ;)

Every time I watch a Taylor video on Youtube, I keep getting a stupid commercial for Aldean's album. I don't care about his album, but this is starting to make me want it to do badly.

How Adele is still selling close to 20k! I remember we were saying that when she was consistently selling 100k+ a week and pretty much every week. So nothing should surprise you when it comes to Adele haha! But seriously, she has very strong recurrent play on HAC/AC. The audience of HAC/AC are generally album buyers (More so than POP/Rhythmic). In addition to this, the release of "Skyfall" may have given her a bit more hype and caused the sales for the album to increase a little.

You have to take in account that digital sales overall are significantly higher then they were two years ago. ;) Yes, but on two of those weeks she is 200-300% higher compared to the equivalent promo single. Even the other two weeks show an increase of what is likely higher than the two year average increase for digital sales overall. This shows she hasn't lost any popularity in the last two years, and possibly become even more popular. Selling one million for Red is just as likely as it was for Speak Now.

I think Ke$ha could do more than 150k, maybe around 250k. Her fanbase has grown a lot since the beginning of Tik Tok's run, and Animal sold 10x its opening week. Plenty of potential buyers.

Great numbers for Aldean. I think those are respectable numbers for Brandy all things considered (not great/not bad). Refer to your inbox (so that this thread isn't derailed).

It's a shame that Jason achieved these numbers with such a bland album.
Also, Taylor will hit 1 million. Big Machine won't settle for anything less. They threw her on top of a bus during LA traffic during the Speak Now promo week. I have no doubt they'll be rolling out any stops they possibly can this time around to break SN's debut.

Looks like Aldean and Swift will end up as two of the best-selling releases this year. What kind of domination by the current king and queen of country?
