I think it'll be between Eminem and Taylor. Taylor might just snatch it up.

Taylor Swift and Susan Boyle are going to sell really well. I think Taylor could get to 3,000,000 by the end of the year. I think maybe 3,050,000. I think Boyle will be in the high 2,000,000 like 2,800,000. The industry really needs it. That is the reason i think Recovery is a lock.
If i had to make a final prediction. It would be.
Recovery - 3,200,000
Taylor Swift - 3,050,000
Boyle - 2,800,000

It'll between Eminem & Taylor. I don't see SuBo doing as well this year.
Eminem & Taylor: 3 million+
SuBo: 1.5 to 2 million

I think Taylor has this one. It'll be close between her an Em though.
I don't think that Susan will sell as well as last year, the novelty has worn off a bit.

Eminem Taylor is sooo last year. Her one week predicted sales says otherwise though I still think Em may have this is in the bag. I agree with everyone on SuBo. I don't think she'll sell as much as compared to last year |

I'm a bit skeptical of Taylor selling over three million copies before the end of the year (even with her huge opening). I think she'll fall short of passing Eminem (though I would love to be proven wrong obviously).

Eminem Taylor is sooo last year. Are you American? If you aren't I understand, but if you are I don't see how you can feel that way. Her FW sales say it all. I think Taylor will take it. By next week she'll already be halfway there. |

i wouldn't get too hasty, SuBo and xmas anthems go hand-in-hand. You may be surprised. She was born to do a xmas album.

I remember the race for the top-selling album of 2005 - Mariah and 50 Cent. That one was extremely close and literally came down to the last week of sales. I have a feeling this years will be similar. Let's do a little math, shall we?
There are 9 weeks left in the year after this one. If Eminem sells an average of 50k for the rest of the year (which is generous but not unreasonable considering the holidays coming up), he'll be at...
2.9 (including this week) + 0.45 = 3.35 million maximum
We already know Taylor is going to sell about 1 million this week and then she'll have 8 weeks left. So to beat Em, she'll need to sell roughly 2.35 million in 8 weeks.
2.35m/9 = 261,111 copies per week average.
That is quite a lot of albums she'll need to sell per week. After doing this math, I might be leaning a bit more towards Eminem despite thinking yesterday that Taylor had the edge. However, Taylor is a sales monster and the holidays are coming up, so she certainly has a shot at taking over. I really don't think Subo is going to factor into this race, although she will sell well, no doubt.

It would be quite funny if Susan Boyle ends up surprising everyone again this year with her sales, just like last year  |

Yeah, but Boyle wasn't #1 for the year. 'Fearless' managed to stay ahead until the last week of the year.

And it wouldn't be a surprise this year because everyone's expecting her to do millions.

I think Taylor may take it. If she sells (almost) a million in one week I think she'll be able to sell the other 2 million in the rest of the year. I think she will be selling huge at this time of the year, so I can definitely see her taking it.

Eminem FTW! Just wait and see :) Yep. people think were biased? we may be Em fan's but were also intelligent when it comes to sales. Well I'll let you speak for yourself on that but as far as me i study this stuff. It doesnt matter than Eminem is my favorite solo artist. People laugh when i say Tool's next album out next year will do over 500K first week. Tool has that built in fanbase. 2006's 10,000 Days sold more opening week than 2001's Lateralus. The industry was worse off in '06 then in '01 and it still did over 550K in '06. |
