Ouch, and we were all expecting 200k

Posted by: britster 30th August 2014, 04:24 PM

Just over 20k more than her last effort.

I would say just under 200k based on those total sales for the first album not being very high. If I was to make an exact prediction I'd probably go for 184k!

I posted this in the prediction thread and quite a few people thought I was way too low, and it turns out even I could be too high! Still decent sales though even if they were below our expectations.

Very disappointing if she does only cross 160k.

Not too far off from my prediction (186k), but I was hoping that I have underestimated.

Even if she does debut lower than the projections in this forum, the album still has a chance of longevity and great sales overall, as long as she/her label makes good singles choices. One person on another forum said that Spotify might be the culprit for the lower-than-expected start as most of her demographic would more likely to stream than to download/buy.
