I don't think Lorde personally would discount the album herself. ;) These numbers pale in comparison to years past, of course, but they look better than most weeks this year, at least. I don't think the artist has control over discounts. They get the same amount if the retailer decides to discount it as Amazon frequently does as a loss leader. I bought her mp3 album for 4.99 at Amazon last week so it was discounted there. He was joking. He knows that.

areyouready- woah, indeed. I didn't even notice. For a box set of new recordings (albeit covers) only available at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club, 190K is pretty darn impressive.

Last year, the Top 9 sold over 100k.
This year, the Top 8 did. I'll take it!

Kelly sold over 30,000 more than her HITS highest projection! all the other projection (except for Luke Bryan) were pretty spot on and GARTH who sold over 100,000 more than projected! that is amazing for him

So Garth Brooks was the star that was releasing physical copies only in December. He did great but of course Walmart was overpacked for Black Friday.

Carrie Underwood, too. Is it because of the "Sound of Music"? Her Blown Away album was discounted to $5 at some retailers for the physical edition last week. Yes! And because of that, BA became the first Carrie cd I've ever bought

So with 4 weeks left, I'd say Prism should be around 1.1-1.2 million and ARTPOP at 650kish by the end of 2013? Sound accurate-ish?

^Those are HITS numbers, keep in mind. The SoundScan ones will differ to some degree (less so for rounded-off totals that exceed 1m).

Here's hoping that the fact that there is one less sales week between Thanksgiving and Xmas this year, sales don't drop as drastically as last year.

I would go slightly lower for both, but overall, yes. i'm gonna say 975k-1M for PRISM and 625k for ARTPOP. I think we'll see every album tumble next week, and then an increase, followed by an increase, followed by a giant increase during xmas week.

Christmas falls in the middle of the tracking week this year, which usually effects the week before and week of Christmas.

I think some of you guys are underestimating December sales.
I'm gonna make some crazy guesses for the sales weeks starting 12/2, 12/9, 12/16, 12/23:
Kelly Clarkson (total: 845k) 145 160 160 50
Katy Perry (total: 1.215m) 95 120 180 160
Lady Gaga (total: 800k) 65 80 125 105
Miley Cyrus (total: 890k) 50 65 100 90
Eminem (total: 2.050m) 135 170 240 200

Sales usually drop back again after the week after T-giving week- but, we'll see the impact, if any, of T-giving falling closer to Christmas this year.

Whoa, not very good for this but maybe it was lost in the Black Friday rush and will sell well for the rest of the year.

Which says that even a year ago, there isn't anything too exciting number-wise. 4-5 albums a week topping 100K. Expect the same or less this year
