This will be lucky to sell 500K in total.

How much more could it possibly trend up by? An extra 15k.
If sales are this low, I doubt more people will be rushing out to go pick up a copy after watching her on David Letterman

This is totally not shocking. People who were estimating 300k were set for a MASSIVE disappointment.

Terrible sales but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Oh well. Hopefully, she will sell well in the long run and somehow, people will become interested in the album. If not, I hope she can knock it out the park with her next album. I know she is capable of another big seller.

HDD estimates are often slightly higher and more accurate than Billboard. Just wait.

Those sales projections are awful, but completely expected. No surprise here.

damn, I overestimated I had it down between 150-200K. Always go with your gut feeling, I first had it at 100-150K but then changed it ugh.

According to a girl who was there, she was sucking on cough drops and had her own people catch them when she was done with them. Some will still refuse to believe it but all it takes is a bit of common sense! Why not just finish the cough drop like most normal people do? ???

*pats self on the back*
I was right. I predicted 100-150k for her and said that it could be lower but not higher.
And yeah-those are horrible numbers for her.

wow, lots of xtina hatred these days.. i think this era was riddled with bad press and it was handled badly, there should have been a rearrangement of the songs that would place on the standard and deluxe. judging off itunes, bionic and you lost me should be the next 2 singles but even woohoo wasn't given a decent shot because there isn't any music video and any live performances with nikki to build this up.
there is potential on this album, but it just seems like it's going to waste.. which is a real shame because christina is a talented girl, and GumGate10 doesn't really matter to me at all.

Everything in this era has been a flop so far, plus overall album sales are low. You can best believe at least 400,000 people in the U.S. already have the album for free.

Along the lines of H00d, a leaner album would have done wonders. I would have gone with:
1. Bionic 2. Not Myself Tonight 3. Birds of Prey 4. I Am 5. Monday Morning 6. Lift Me Up 7. Sex for Breakfast 8. All I Need 9. Little Dreamer 10. You Lost Me 11. Elastic Love 12. Vanity
Still some underwhelming tracks, but I would have bought this album and skipped through a few tracks, rather than just buying individual tracks.

Cyndi Lauper, Paula Abdul, Nelly, and many others are acts that had big selling albums very early in their career, then sold less with successive releases, and then couldn't maintain success at all. And for all of them they went from big numbers to disaster in a decade or less. Xtina stretched it out a *bit* longer merely because of taking so long to release her albums.
