Remember EM also had those Call of Duty Tie in Sales as well, or were those not counted.

With +100k/240k being pre-orders, her second week could be record-breaking.

Didn't know Gaga would be on SNL this weekend. That is very interesting.

^It's not going to help her sales that much. Some think it will.

Looks like The Roberstsons will have the #1 Xmas album this year.
Glad to see Kelly still holding on. (Now if Mary J Blige would just start selling!)
Now 48 performing like the last few.
Katy Perry will be near 500k.
The Beatles will collect their 31st Top 10 album.
Lorde's album has not left the Top 10.
Neither has Drake's...
Miley is really holding on.
Same with Luke Bryan, Florida/Georgia Line and Imagine Dragons. Excellent consistency!

Sad at Eminem's 2nd week, but I think the album will continue to sell good for the rest of the year with Monster going up and up. Hopefully it won't go under 100k for the rest of 2013. so hopefully around 1.7 million sold by dec 31

I'm surprised Eminem is dropping so much.
Either way, I'm sure Jimmy Iovine is scratching his head right now.

I thought it was now standard for albums to drop 75%. Isn't that what Drake and Justin did after their big first week sale? Eminem is just following that pattern.

The Southern peeps who love country music are sure album buyers, more so for Christmas album. I haven't heard of the Robertson until this album came out ... last week!

So Gaga is only going to outsell Avril by 200k? That looks like a big number, but when you take into consideration that Avril's been around 11 years compared to Gaga's five, and Gaga is the world's biggest pop star while Avril is supposedly an irrelevant nobody, it really isn't.

But when you consider the 200k is also 500% more or 5x more then it doesn't look like that anymore.

The #1 Christmas albums of the year have recently been Rod Stewart, Josh Groban, Michael Buble and Andrea Bocelli
There is a reason for that. This is the time of year that adults buy more music.
Robertsons have that tag this year. Pop albums will sell fine as Christmas albums but are almost never the #1 Christmas album of the year.

One second I'm a flop then suddenly the world's biggest pop star is me. No really and Avril is not an irrelevant nobody according to my latest information. or I'm just too old, everything is possible.

Someone did this at UKMix. A little pssimistic:
This is how I see a weekly breakdown until the end of 2013:
Week 1: 260,000 Week 2: 80,000 Week 3: 55,000 Week 4: 40,000 Week 5: 50,000 Week 6: 65,000 Week 7: 50,000
Total: 600,000

I think it depends on her second week drop and now that is looking to be more exciting than her debut week.

Not really. Gaga's singles sales haven't been great for a while now.

The little monsters were destroyed on ATRL, it was hilarious and crazy. Pulse is really calm. :)
I think Artpop may sell a bit more than Femme Fatale (I'd say 950k or 1 million+ at best) when all is said and done, unless Gaga's singles keep the momentum going, but after Do What U Want what could possibly smash?

ATRL is so dramatic though, they make everything seem like more than it is.

Lady Gaga Still Heading for No. 1, Beatles Set for 31st Top 10 AlbumAs reported earlier this week, Lady Gaga's "ARTPOP" album seems destined for a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 chart next week, securing the diva her second chart-topping set.Presently, industry sources forecast the album to sell between 240,000 and 250,000 by the end of the tracking week on Nov. 17. That's down slightly from its 260,000 projection on Wednesday (Nov. 13). As we've noted previously, sales forecasts often change throughout the week, based on many variables.The new Billboard 200's top 10 will be revealed on Nov. 20. The new album was released on Monday (Nov. 11), bucking the trend of most albums hitting retail on a Tuesday. Because of Lady Gaga's move to Monday, most other albums that were scheduled for a Tuesday (Nov. 12) release were also moved up one day to Monday. "ARTPOP" follows Gaga's No. 1-debuting "Born This Way" in 2011, which launched with 1.1 million sold (a number amplified by a temporary 99-cent sale deal by Amazon MP3). Overall, "ARTPOP" will rack up the fifth top 10 set for Gaga, who previously notched top 10s with her first album "The Fame" (No. 2 peak in early 2010), "The Fame Monster" (EP) (No. 5 in 2009), "The Remix" (No. 6 in 2010) and "Born This Way."Eminem's current chart champ, "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," will likely fall to No. 2 with around 210,000 for the week.The second-highest new entry will probably be the new "Now 48" compilation, which could start with between 90,000 and 100,000. All 47 of the regular (numbered) "Now" albums have reached the top 10, and all but the first debuted in the top 10. The last "Now" set, "Now 47," debuted at No. 2 with 82,000 sold in August. Also set for a top 10 debut: the Beatles. The Fab Four's new "On Air - Live at the BBC, Vol. 2" album should give the act its 31st top 10 set. The album is forecast to sell around 35,000. The group last charted a new top 10 effort in 2006 with the release of "Love," the companion album to the Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas stage production based on the Beatles' music. If "On Air" debuts in the top 10, the Beatles would remain in fourth place on the all-time list of acts with the most top 10 albums. The Rolling Stones have the most, with 36. They are followed by, currently, Frank Sinatra (33), Barbra Streisand (32) and the Beatles (30, at the present). On SoundScan's Building chart (below), Eminem is No. 1, while Lady Gaga is No. 2. The Building tally is a precursor to the final Billboard 200 ranking, reflecting the first four days (Monday through Thursday) of SoundScan's tracking week as reported by six major merchants.Because of how Building Chart is compiled, the rankings can sometimes be misleading in relation to what the final Billboard 200 will look like. The chart was further complicated by this week's off-cycle Monday release schedule.For example, while Gaga is ranked at No. 2 on the Building chart, she is indeed heading for a No. 1 debut once the official SoundScan sales figures have been tabulated. And though the Beatles are No. 10, it's likely the group will end up slightly higher on the list.As for the rest of the top 10:
