September 29th is probably the biggest chart battle of the year '' Two Pop Girls vs Two Country Legends ''
who will prevail and how much will they sell ?

I think Miley will debut at no1 simply because of streaming although I won't be surprised if Shania pulls a Barbara from last year which is okay with me

I'm leaning towards Miley so I voted for her.
First of all, I can't really see Dolly opening up with 100k+ numbers which will be needed for a #1 that week.
Then there's Demi who usually does around 100k first week. She's got SPS on her side compared to the rest (even Miley maybe since her singles aren't doing as well) because of "Sorry Not Sorry" becoming a hit, but that can only take her so far.
Now Miley opened with 270k with Bangerz, but that was in 2013 when albums still sold more than they do now, and also she was coming off of 2 huge hits with "We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball". Album sales have slid, and the lead single's performance has been lackluster compared to Bangerz. Follow-up single "Younger Now" doesn't seem like it's off to a fast start either. I don't know how big of a fanbase she has, but I'm inclined to think that she still has the power to move around 150k units in the first week.
Shania's sales are really unpredictable since it's been 15 years since she released a studio album. I could see her album not selling well or selling incredibly well (for an act that's been away for 15 years outside of a few songs). I'd like to think she can do 100k+ but I don't really know.

I think Shania Twain will get it. In the order I believe they'll sell:
1. Shania 2. Miley 3. Demi 4. Dolly

Dolly's is a children's album, so she won't sell all that much, I don't think (not that she was ever really a contender for #1 by any means).
I think Shania will prevail...she has a lot of fans still, and there is a lot of anticipation for her new music.
My guess is that Shania will take it without too much trouble, followed by Miley, then Demi and Dolly much further behind.

I'm surprised Demi chose to go head-to-head with Miley.

I don't think Demi will win this, but she'll probably get the best SPS boost.

Congratulations to the 10 other people besides me who knew Queen Shania would easily take this. And lol @ all the votes for Miley.
