Just a bit of fun tbh but will be interesting to see how close people come to guessing. Going by the success of her last album in week 1 In the US Anti sold 166K at #1 in its first full week of tracking sales (we can forget the #27, 460 sales debacle lol). Of those 124K were pure sales. In the UK Anti sold 20,136 copies in its opening week debuting and peaking at #7. This post has been edited by Jordan Lee: 6th August 2019, 11:46 AM

I definitely feel it’ll open better than ANTI. I also went for UK #1 too. USA wise I think it’ll sell around 250K and getting a #1 there too. The US sales could be higher if she does a big tour bundle but she never had like a huge first week there has she despite being consistent. EDIT! If Adele releases around the same time and she does a Q4 release however it may be a #2 peaker but with the same sales as mentioned above. ^ This post has been edited by Jordan Lee: 15th September 2019, 08:57 PM

Why don’t you say so? Joined: 11 October 2009 Posts: 7,359 User: 9,721	All depends on if R9 has a conventional release with no exclusives or giveaways. That being said there's HUGE hype around R9. The streaming numbers I predict are going to be fantastic worldwide when it is released. Especially in the US, which is actually becoming her strongest market. I can see R9 having her biggest first week sales in the US. I voted for US #1 (301-400K) and UK #1 (30K) for R9.

I expect around 46k. 2. 301-400k - I don't really know what the sales climate is like in the US these days but she's just got bigger and bigger over there and Anti was probably her biggest success yet. 3. No - I can just see a messy release preventing her from getting another UK #1 album. 4. Yes - see second line.

She'll do 50K or close to that (if it's on every streaming service from the 1st day).
