The album is #27 on the iTunes albums chart, but it hasn't been as visible as I would have expected.

Interesting that all genres are pretty much covered. Shame they never released Melanie Amaro's album. I wonder if she still got her $5,000,000

Byee this is gonna struggle to sell 35k on sales alone.


(Watch it sell somewhere around 80k now)

Down to #32.

I think I remember Little Mix's album being more visible on pre-order in the iTunes Albums chart.

Didn't they do 40k+ in the first week?

I think 30k on pure sales and about 10-15k in streaming

So 40-45k

Posted by: britster 30th January 2015, 09:43 PM

"Salute" sold 42,971 and debuted at #6.

Posted by: britster 2nd February 2015, 03:57 PM

last day to predict their sales.

I'm going for 30-35k sales (45-50k units).

Posted by: Umi 4th February 2015, 05:59 PM

I don't know where their vague popularity comes from but I'm saying 25k.

Posted by: Ryan. 4th February 2015, 06:01 PM

I think they have a bigger fanbase than Alex & Sierra so I'll say 30-35k!

Posted by: Nelly. S 4th February 2015, 06:03 PM

Their album is number one on itunes so I'm still sticking with 45k, I can't see the album staying at the position for long, but it still should be promising enough for 30-35k real sales.

Boy were a lot of us off. Spot on Dillan though

Posted by: Dillan 4th February 2015, 10:54 PM

thanks! It has been up for pre-order on iTunes for god knows how long which probably helped a lot.

Posted by: Umi 4th February 2015, 11:55 PM

No way are they gonna do that much

Posted by: Ryan. 5th February 2015, 06:27 PM

Wow! The size of their fanbase continues to amaze me!

Posted by: britster 8th February 2015, 07:21 AM

We should have known really if Little Mix were able to sell that much (Fifth Harmony have a bigger profile).
