Will 1989 surpass the first week sales of any other females debut album in the Soundscan era? As of now she's slated to sell 1.1-1.2 million, which can easily trend higher going into the weekend. Britney Spears is the current holder of the title with 1,319,000 units shifted in the first week of the Oops I Did It Again release?

If I had to put money down, I'd say no. But just for the fun of it, I'm hopeful.

I'm gonna say she will get close, but I don't think she will get higher than Britney...

No, but Adele can do it when her album comes out.

She's working with Ryan Tedder, so I'm hopeful she'll pull something big out. Literally every show would have her. Whether she decides to do it all is a whole other story. But her and her team definitely have the chance to make history with the right 1st single and promo. |

I say she'll come close, but won't do it.
And I still lol @ people that doubt Adele's potential to drop her next album with a +1 mil. opener.

I think there's little doubt at this point, it will break the record.

When the estimate was bumped up to 1.2M, I thought it was possible but now with the latest update, I think it's quite likely. Even if not done straight up, I can't see Borshetta getting that close and not taking advantage.
Regardless of even if she comes just shy, this is a massive, massive accomplishment.

I still think it will fall short-like, frustratingly short (10K less or something that she could have bought with her own money)

I feel like it's definitely such a CLOSE possibility, closest we'll ever see to someone almost breaking Britney's record. ;)

I think it will surpass it, even if just by several thousand. They're this close, I don't see them not putting in that extra push over a couple thousand albums.
