I saw the 750k prediction from a few weeks ago has recently been increased to between 800k and 900k. I'm thinking it will be around 750k which will still be incredible in today's album sales climate.

She's only had 3 promo singles whereas 'Red' had five. And this is a pure pop album, no country. |

I'd be very surprised if she didn't scrape a million? I realise the country fanbase isn't really there but still.

I think it will sell between 600-650 k which is amazing in the current sales climate

I am surprised by how pessimistic predictions are. Red was inches away from beating Britney's record and was pretty pop, so I really can't see her sales cutting almost in half.

I would be surprised if it's any less than 900k and another million opening is very likely I'd have thought. 'Shake It Off' has been absolutely massive.

900k-1 mil. In a perfect world, this would be in between Red's opening sales and Speak now's.
Album sales climate be damned, Swifties don't play around. This post has been edited by #Slayberry: 26th October 2014, 03:35 AM |

750-800k. Knock off bad sales climate and the fact that her old country fanbase has been narrowed down

It felt like there was more buzz for Red than there is for 1989. |

I think it's hard to measure. The amount of buzz for both is/was so high that it's really difficult to differentiate. Red may have had more but I've still seen huge interest in basically everything she's done with this album so far.
