Frankly I don't see Carrie passing the NOW collection since the difference looks too great, so Eric's sales don't matter at this point apart from possibly costing her another week at #1 on country albums. Anyway, what is Eric's new/current single from the new album? Do people know it well? His last album opened with 288,000 so he can definitely move some albums, but it also had more of a proper release cycle. The difference in streaming was only 6k, I think, so definitely not impossible. And I don't think HDD would have mentioned the CMAs if they were 100% Carrie couldn't pull it off. Maybe it's not 100% but it's still likely NOW comes out on top (or possibly Eric). And no offense, but you kept thinking she could pass 5S0S and we saw how that turned out. Regardless, I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed.

Ignoring the constant pessimism by a certain someone in this thread... I'll be happy with this album's performance in the long run regardless of what it comes out to be. For a woman to be over ten years into her career and still pull these numbers is astonishing. A #1 or #2 peak on the 200 isn't the end of the world, and the album will be certified Platinum.

Is this Miranda's way of saying "sorry, I know you deserve to win tonight, but I'm going to steal it from you again"?

Miranda is always so nice to Carrie. Didn't she send flowers or something for TSOM premiere? She gave her a motorcycle, and now this! What has Carrie given Miranda?
Anyway, I really wish they would write and record a duet together. I like "Somethin' Bad" more than most, but they can do even better. Ideally they'd also tour together soon.

Her highest charting (Hot 100) single. :) Seriously though, we have no idea what she's given Miranda but based on how giving she is with all American Idol finalists (top 12), I feel it's safe to assume the gift giving is mutual. It is mighty interesting to see you, of ALL people, raise this line of questioning. Not surprising, just interesting.

I would hardly call this flopping. It's her 6th consecutive top 2 all-genre album and #1 country album and it's getting great reviews. Album sales, unless you're Taylor Swift or Adele these days really are terrible. 167k is like 350-400k these days. She'll scan platinum for sure.Based on her current trajectory, I'd say it's not happening. Especially since sales are depressed and there are fewer CDS in stock at stores. It looks more like this album will end up in the 700-800K range, although this can change. I'd have to agree. Gold is guaranteed. But Platinum is far beyond my expectations... I'd be fine with 700k-800k too

Miranda virtually thanked Carrie in her speech!

I prefer clear statements to passive-aggressive implications. I don't see your issue with my question. I also don't see how going off projections that a notable site has made is "pessimistic." It's called going off the facts at hand. Someone disagreeing with someone else doesn't automatically make them wrong/pessimistic/whatever. It's also tiresome that someone can't say something remotely "negative" here without being criticized. I get that it's a fan thread, but can there not be any objectivity? And I am a fan, so it makes it even worse that you are developing a mob mentality.

For a minute there I thought Jana Kramer might be her opening act on the new tour since Carrie shouted her out on Twitter, but that obviously didn't happen.

Breaking: Carrie has overtaken Adele on iTunes! Storyteller is #3 behind Eric Church at #1 (surprise album) and Chris Stapleton at #2 (big winner, stand-out performance at the CMAs).
Smoke Break is #22 on songs. It was around #37 before the show.

Carrie wins Grammys and Miranda wins another CMA. I would take the Grammy any day.

Carrie will never ever win a CMA again. No matter how hard she works or how great the music she produces, or how successful she is, CMA will never ever let her win anymore. What a shame.
But it's ok because Carrie will continue to win Grammys and CMA can suck that.
Oh, Carrie will likely AMAs next month. YAY!!

Honestly so, so upsetting. Carrie was far and away the most deserving in all respects. :shrugs:...
My only hope at this point is that Miranda doesn't release music for a while to give Carrie, or someone else a chance at Female Vocalist.
We have the ACMs next Spring and right now I'd say Carrie looks to be a leading contender... Just trying to dig for some hope here, I'm desperate!
