Yeah, they've never been huge opening week sellers but they're coming off from a 7X Platinum album that's still selling around 7K per week so yeah, I think they have a shot to have the biggest opening week number for the year. Especially if they release this 2nd week of December. It's gonna be an EXPLOSIVE number!

I cannot believe their last album went 6x Platinum in these days! :o This is going to #1. 7x Platinum actually. And don't count it out as eventually going 8x either. AtRR was insanely huge for the time frame it came out. Had something like that been released in the mid 90's it would probably have ended up in the 15-20 million range in the U.S. And I definitely think this album will pull a million first week. Heck, if XMas week is its release, it could pull a 1.5 mil first week. It's how this one holds up in longevity that will be the key this time. Huge initial sales are a given coming off AtRR. However well it does though, I think its safe to say theres no way this album will be able to pass AtRR in overall sales. I'm shooting for 4x this time.

I wouldn't be surprised if this song breaks the record flo rida set for downloads. Photograph went to #2 in 2006.

Although I think this can go as far as 5X Platinum when it's all said and done. It still depends on how cohesive the album is and if this album is harder or more mainstream. They are tour kings as well so they would probably tour non stop and that is going to help keep the sales consistent (in addition to the singles). ;) I love how the news of this came out of nowhere! I bet the other labels didn't see this coming. I expect some shuffling in the release dates. Any label expecting their artist to be #1 won't even try to compate with NB.

I don't think they'll push 1 million in a week. Maybe 700k or 800k. But crazzzzzzzzy longevity.
And most importantly, before ever hearing the song, I'm gonna say it's a Hot 100 #1.

The title seems really clichΓ©d. Which would be like all the other trash they've put out. I just cannot, for the life of me, understand why this band is so popular. The singer is one of the most hideous men in the entertainment business, and their music is just recycled garbage. Please, if there is a God, put an end to Nickelback; make today their last day! Even their name is nasty sounding. Why not Dimebag? Grrrrrrrr I hate them.

The rumor is Kelly's album was pushed to Dec 2. It might be because of this.
I think no one stands a chance against NB at that date. So anyone who wants to debut at #1 should just move to another date.

Kelly needs to get a single out there. I think she could do well first week as long as there is a single and it's decent!

The last Nickelback single I liked was 'Far Away'. I hope this is just as good, and 'Rockstar' sucked!

Far Away is one of their worst songs imo

Stay away NB! Yeah, probably top 3 on pop and #1 hot 100. Will this be the #1 album of the holiday season (and thus the #1 billboard album of next year)?

Honestly, the best songs from ATTR are those that were not released as Pop singles. But out of those that were singles, my fave is Savin Me! Love that song!

Animals and Side of a Bullet were the only singles not released to pop. I think Animals could've picked up where Rockstar left off on Pop if they really wanted to milk the album. 1000th post!
