If Rihanna or Katy Perry or some other big name act all of a sudden placed an album on itunes with the same banner ads, people would buy it sight unseen as well. I see. Let's have a prediction...will this go past 300k by the end of the year. High end guess? |

KILLER BEY: It remains to be seen whether Beyoncé has just “changed the game,” as some are asserting, but she’s definitely changed the look of next week’s sales chart. At this point, we’re projecting 200k+ for the album’s first three days of availability, enough to push Garth Brooks to #2. You read it here first. (12/13a) duca, do you hit "refresh" at HITS every few minutes? |

Putting the album up with no individual tracks available was a genius move, I never understood why labels weren't doing that before with iTunes. With all the excitement people were pretty much forced to purchase the album if they wanted to listen to it since there weren't any illegal download links for the first few hours either.

AHHHHHH still freaking out!!! Friday the 13th is officially Queen B's day. I haven't bought any music in a long time but it literally took me about 10 seconds to decide to buy this on Itunes last night. She knows how to make history with every move she makes, this was brilliant, long live the Queen!!!

Because not allowing people to cherry pick the hits off of album in the 90s and 00s is what had people running to illegal filesharing sites. I'm sure the individual tracks will be available for purchase eventually. |

Kelly Clarkson is owing these girls with a christmas album, work it giiirl!
This Beyonce dominance in 3 hours is making a mockery of the other pop girls. Sweating and working so hard for singles, #1's and promo and then this drag queen comes in starts shaking her body, flipping her hair and doing splits behind cages and just walks in and grabs all dey wigs!
Ladies and gentlemen Coco presents the Queen of Drag, Mrs Beyonce the Legend!

Let's have a prediction...will this go past 300k by the end of the year. High end guess? I am flattered you are still obssessing over a post I made about Kelly Clarkson's album back in October in the poll forum. Congratulations, I got the number wrong in that post back in October. As I said then and I will say now. So what? My suggestion is to let it go. |

Wow 200k, I was so wrong with my prediction earlier.
Funny though that it's selling THAT much when her previous album opened with 310k. That's just crazy.
Maybe surprise is the key after all.
We don't know how it'll sell in the long run obviously.
A bit off topic btw, but when the Bieber album is available?

200k is awesome! I think she could probably be able to pass 500,000 by the end of the year if the word of mouth keeps spreading.

2M was ALL about Duck Dynasty this year. I do have to chuckle thinking about how sure (s)he was that it would be a clear-cut race.
In any event, these numbers are looking to be outstanding for Beyonce. 500k+ seems feasible, and that's all without any (traditional) promotion or radio play.

Sales will of course slow down after the first day a lot.. The fans have the album now, will other people buy it at all?

Poor Kelly and Wrapped In Red...the light was shining on her for the briefest of moments. This never would have happened if Beautiful Bells had made the album.

I hope this will lead to more albums being "frozen" for a week or two without the al a carte option. That is not helping album sales - make the single (s) available. There is nothing that can be done with illegal downloads - that group will always go that route. Additionally, Bey learned from her mistake with RWT (remember when that "leaked" and it was trashed left and right), which definitely hurt the set-up for 4.

2M was ALL about Duck Dynasty this year. I do have to chuckle thinking about how sure (s)he was that it would be a clear-cut race. . Not that I care that much but Not convinced yet that I got that wrong. One of the "predictions" I made in October was that the Kelly album will not be the #1 album of the Christmas season. Some predictions I make in the poll forum may turn out to be true, some may not be true. I am sure that is the way with others who post in there too. BTW - I bought both albums. So I added 1 to both totals. Again, congratulations to whomever this has meaning to that my initial prediction(back in October) about total sales by 12/31 was proven to be wrong. |
