February 20, 201114 yr Author 1 million first week? It is too soon to make such a prediction. I remember Taylor Swift did that 1million-sales-week recently. However Taylor has been selling more albums than Gaga throughout TF or TFM era (right?) and she just did it, I therefore believe it is unlikely. BTW has not been that warmly received in the UK , but I think she could still do 200k. It will depend on the next single as well (it should be getting lot of airplay at the week of her album release). Actually, making predictions this early is exactly how TS broke 1M. The label hyped for ages that it would break 1M and more and more people became aware of the album, then *BAM!*. 1,000,000. By interesting comparison, Taylor's first album has the same certification as Gaga's. Both are 4xPlatinum - both over 4,000,000. I'm not doubting anything at the minute, to be honest.

Yes but Fearless was Taylor's 2nd album (about same time with TF-TFM) and Speak Now is her 3rd one (I was about to compare this one with BTW). Fearless should be already 6xplat if not even more... (with Speak Now easily 3xplat already I think). It would be definitely hard for Gaga to follow. I have to agree it *could* be nice promo to dicuss about the million, still with 2 singles out and all this promo lined up (including the superheavy online promo) it would be difficult to miss the BTW release date anyway. :lol: To be honest I don't think Gaga could sell a millionl that fast (TS is definitely much more album seller than single's) but she could have spectacular first week sales nevertheless. I believe Gaga will sell faster than The Fame, yet because she is so dependent on singles, videos and promo, she will sell slower than TS (still managing a huge total after a whole year)
February 21, 201114 yr i reckon it will be number one its gaga she has too many fans for it not to be. She could put out a song with a monkey having a dump on a pigeon and it would sell
