DISCO will have racked up 3 and a half months of pre-orders by the time of its release on November 6th and presumably BMG have a healthy promo schedule lined up - at this early stage, what are your predictions for its first week sales?

Posted by: Red Blooded Man 28th July 2020, 03:24 PM

It's too early to predict, but I am going for 60k-69k.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 28th July 2020, 03:25 PM

30-39k is what i voted i think 30k will be its lowest but it could go as high as 50k.

Posted by: pippa 28th July 2020, 03:28 PM

I am predicting 45,000.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 28th July 2020, 03:30 PM

I am going 48,500 dependent on what the 2nd single sounds like. And also Covid-19 situation, shops open in cold November etc. Also will she release any more versions? Another cassette maybe?

It is November so if people put on their Xmas list....

Posted by: pippa 28th July 2020, 03:31 PM

Supermarket sales should be strong at release time.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 28th July 2020, 04:11 PM

I would think online with all the different formats is where a large chunk of first week sales will come from and the supermarkets will really help the casual sales.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 28th July 2020, 04:36 PM

40k on the nose.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 28th July 2020, 05:33 PM

Im also predicting a number 1 debut or the least really hoping it will.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 28th July 2020, 06:48 PM

Hoping for number 1 but literally anything and anyone could release same week still or even a week before if it's a big artist. Let's hope they don't want to ruin Kylie chances

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 28th July 2020, 07:01 PM

ya im hoping nothing comes along and blocks her,

Posted by: pippa 28th July 2020, 07:53 PM

It would be so disappointing if she doesn't achieve Number 1 in the scenario where her sales would easily have achieved the Number 1 the previous week or the week that directly follows.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 28th July 2020, 08:00 PM

i would so hate that happening, fingers crossed it wont be the case and kylie sails all the way to the top where she belongs.

Posted by: Nick F1 28th July 2020, 08:17 PM

33k - 36k

Posted by: Nick Jonas 28th July 2020, 08:19 PM

38k

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 28th July 2020, 08:19 PM

Posted by: pippa 28th July 2020, 09:22 PM

Golden delivered a great first week turnaround from both Kylie Christmas and Kiss Me Once.

Posted by: slowdown73 28th July 2020, 09:26 PM

I think it depends on covid situation. If we get another lockdown, sales may suffer significantly or the album could be even delayed. It could sell upto 50k first week.

Posted by: pippa 28th July 2020, 09:28 PM

If the market is in full swing 50k is highly possible.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 28th July 2020, 10:00 PM

She has it on pre order to get everyone's furlough money before they get made redundant. Haha.

Posted by: Liam.k. 28th July 2020, 10:03 PM

I'm going to be optimistic and say it'll beat Golden - 50k-59k.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 29th July 2020, 12:59 AM

If covid 19 second wave doesn't hit I think she could outsell golden on week 1, hopefully disco can hold up and match golden overall sales or better still, beat it.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 29th July 2020, 07:13 AM

If high unemployment no one will have money to buy big bundles though lol

If I where her team I would have everything made and boxed ready to send out and no refunds given lol

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 29th July 2020, 06:30 PM

That wouldn't be nice, i think some fans will prob start saving now so they can buy as many different formats as they can afford.

Posted by: pippa 29th July 2020, 08:22 PM

60,000 is reachable but055,000 would be likely its very highest.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 29th July 2020, 11:43 PM

I'd be really happy if it hit 40k, anything more is a big bonus.

Posted by: pippa 30th July 2020, 10:10 AM

Any artists relying on signing gatherings will lose out this year.
Its not something Kylie does but it would be worthwhile to do.

Posted by: Nina West 30th July 2020, 12:05 PM

Voted for 40k-49k, think it will have a similar opening to 'Golden', hopefully it will be more, be amazing if she could get 70k+ sales.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 30th July 2020, 12:14 PM

70k would be wow but Il happy if it can match golden.

Posted by: pippa 1st August 2020, 04:30 PM

If Kylie can conduct various promotional activities in the weeks following the release it is possible sales outside debut week will outperform Golden.

Posted by: Dark Horse 3rd August 2020, 01:39 PM

as a huge megafan , if the rest of the album sounds like Say something, which i like, but dont see as lead single material, and with lack of TV performances due to covid 19, i dont see it selling a lot more than 20k... perhaps 22-23 k...

Posted by: dandy* 3rd August 2020, 02:41 PM

29K as an early guess.

I think it's equally likely that she'll sell 60K with only 238 different purchasers though

Posted by: pippa 3rd August 2020, 03:23 PM

From the Golden opening sales a breakdown of purchasers would have been interesting.
Of the 40,000 sales, it was likely purchased in only 25,000 individual homes.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 19th October 2020, 06:18 PM

I went for 48,500 first time

Going to reduce my target and hope for 38,500

Just not sure what promo she has lined up and other variants .

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 19th October 2020, 06:43 PM

40K is prob the most it will do but il take more if it happens.

Posted by: pippa 20th October 2020, 12:58 PM

It is becoming hard to predict with confidence but I feel figures close to 40,000 either side looks the likely outcome.

Posted by: jlj 20th October 2020, 01:50 PM

I think she’ll clear 40K.

Can see it maybe just crossing 50k potentially but my guess is between 40k and 50k. That’s literally what I just predicted for Little Mix too I really can’t call this chart battle.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 20th October 2020, 02:52 PM

if the chart battle is hyped up in the press it will give both a sales boost and prob help kylie nearer to the 50k.

Posted by: Jay* 20th October 2020, 04:46 PM

In the 40-49k region I think (I hope for more!)

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 20th October 2020, 05:45 PM

The pre orders are a big help for kylie.

Posted by: Davidson 20th October 2020, 06:59 PM

Maybe I’m just trying to not get my hopes up, but I’m predicting around a 38k debut for this. I have a bad feeling LM will probs so around 45-50k and take the #1

I just feel like there isn’t quite as much hype this time around but her steady fanbase will still be there, and we can hopefully have it hit 80k+ by Christmas as more casual fans will pick it up later as presents.

I hope it exceeds my expectations though.
