If Katy choses the right singles, she can go 2x platinum with ease. Look at Pink. Her first week was 180k and she`s at 1.8 million now, 10x her first week, which shows longevity pays off.
With good 3rd and 4th singles, she can go big during holiday sales, a deal breaker when it comes to record sales these days.

YOUR HANDY DANDY WEAKEND CHART PREVIEW
Katy Perry looks about the same as yesterday, maybe a tad bit better with projections still hovering around 200k, give or take. Here's how the rest of next week's chart shapes up, headed into the weekend. On the plus side, we could have three albums in six figures next week. Hey, you get on her cloud.
*Katy Perry (Capitol/EMI) 200k +/- *Fantasia (J/RMG) 120-130k Eminem (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) 95-100k *Usher Versus (LaFace/JLG) 40-45k *Little Big Town (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 40-45k Kem (Universal Motown) 30-35k Trace Adkins (Show Dog) 27-30k *Never Shout Never (Sire) 25-28k *Randy Rogers Band (MCA Nashville) 24-27k Justin Bieber (Island/IDJ) 24-27k Kidz Bop 18 (Razor & Tie) 21-24k Lady Antebellum (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 21-24kRapid recovery. Ray Lamontagne (RCA/RMG) 21-24k *The Devil Wears Prada (Ferret) 21-24k Rick Ross (Def Jam/IDJ) 18-21k Drake (Young Money/Cash Money/Universal Motown) 18-21k * Debuts (8/26p)

So pretty much the same as the one-day sales projections...
Let's hope Eminem can scrape 100k, which would make it an even 10 consecutive weeks above 100k. Perhaps it could even rebound to over 100k in the future with the VMAs (assuming his performance goes down well and gets some moonmen, the 100k+ is a stretch though depending how far it falls in the next few weeks before the VMAs)

You only have to look at the breakdown of digital/Physical to see who's buying, 50% digital. With these opening numbers she will struggle to go platinum.

Katy's album will have legs, unlike Fantasia's, as long as the hits keep cranking out. Her last album opened only with 47K but the hits kept coming and it ended up selling over 1.2m Exactly, it's not about how you start but how you finish, slow and steady wins the race, etc. I can see it reaching 2xp or at least WELL over 1xp, like 1.5 million.

Was anyone expecting Fantasia to sell as well as she is? The label was just smart enought to ship a moderate number of albums because they weren't expecting as much as she's going to sell. It's not like she was going to sell more than Perry, so her real fans that don't find the album this week can buy it the next one.

Yes they are...the entire RCA Music Group is. I have to agree. They have mismanaged more artists than Fantasia, she's just the latest casualty.

BS -- I want to see the medical report on "kidneys". If this was real, they would have postponed the CD. Somehow almost offing yourself and then doing normal promo a couple of weeks later doesn't sync. Shouldn't she be trying to put her life back together? Are the reasons why she did this suddenly gone? Fantasia just go away.

Shouldn't she be trying to put her life back together? Are the reasons why she did this suddenly gone? Fantasia just go away. How and why is she accountable to you? Nobody said she did permanent irrevocable damage to her kidneys...they said she did damage to them. You are not owed an explanation. What do you mean "real"? As I said, the police call, the report and Fantasia's explanation all corroborate. I just don't know how something like this could be "faked"...say it was a 'stunt' how would they know how many pills to give her before they were going to kill her for sure? Or do you think they were all willing to take that risk in the hope of snatching a few thousand more sales? What do you think the suicide note to her daughter read..."Sorry baby, I just wanted to go Gold"? Your dislike for Fantasia and incredulity that she went back to work so quickly has no baring on the authenticity of her attempt, nor her motives behind it. People throw themselves into the thing they love when they fall, it happens every day, in all types of different situations. Your judgment is indicative of a particular brand of nastiness from ill-wishers, but has no basis in fact. You, nor I, have the right to judge. Nor do we have the right to cobble together half baked theories based on hunches laced with disregard for Fantasia.

It was a really nice pubicity stunt that got pushed her album up the charts.
If this were a real suicide attempt rather than a staged one, a non-celebrity without an album to promote and a TV schedule to maintain would still be in the hospital
But as they say, "the show must go on"

The staged "suicide" attempt turned out pretty well apparently People buy albums because they like the artist. Were the 1 million + viewers of Fantasia's reality show, which aired earlier this year, also just watching because they felt bad for her? Why is it so hard to believe that Fantasia has a solid fanbase? The drama surrounding her life may have caused some fans - who may not be hardcore fans - to realize that her album was being released. I'll grant you that. But that does not mean that those people were just buying because they thought, "poor Tasia." With the economy being the way it is, why would anyone - let alone 100,000 people - purchase a CD out of only sympathy?

Never said Fantasia did not have a fanbase This "suicide attempt" conveniently timed for the release of her album gives her the publicity needed for a 100,000 week and a #2 debut. Without it, the numbers would have been considerably less. This sort of publicity does have a way of boosting CD sales.

I do not dislike Fantasia, partly because I know nothing about her - nor am I interested in her drama. If she was in such bad shape because of -- the CD, the reality show, etc., then I hope she's getting the help she needs. I DO, however, have the right to comment and provide my interpretation on these events.
