Hopefully she'll flop. I voted for 100-150k though as it's the most realistic in my opinion. I wouldn't be surprised if she hit 200k at the same time. There are lots of chavs buying music nowadays.

 

i don't mean to sound rude, but are you retarded?

With THREE songs in the top 10 and FOUR in the top 15 and all on new album its highly anticipated, could sell 175,000+? Not quite sure really could be more could be less but i'd say no less then 150,000.

 

 

I agree. I reckon no less than 150k and no more than 225k. Somewhere in between there for sure....

Chavs? Really?

 

lol.

Scheiße is LIFE-GIVING. This is like her best song ever. Seriously. Scheiße > Bad Romance.
I put 150k - 200k. I really have no idea to be honest (never great with sales predictions!) but I can see it doing about 160k.

At least it doesn't sound like other people's songs.

Have you actually listened to album lmfao?

 

Can you really see chavs bopping about to the likes of 'Marry the Night', 'Scheibe' and 'Americano'?! I assume you're not from the UK and therefore don't actually understand what a chav is.

200-250k. There's plenty of interest still. She has 3 songs in the top 10 of itunes and one a #16. Plus, the promotion is going to be crazy.

 

Just wondering, but does the "Complete my Album" on itunes count as an album sale? Just double checking. As if people have bought BTW/Judas/EOG/Hair, the album will be only like £3 on itunes or so (cheaper even if they've only bought just 1).

She'll easily clear over 200k now I reckon. Everything has been PERFECT about her promotion strategy. At first I was a bit dubious as to whether she'd sell over 100k, but now, anything less 150k and I think I'll be disappointed tbh.
after hearing this album it doesn't deserve to sell anything. But I voted for 50-100k

Is this the amount you hoped for Britney? :kink:

Huge campaign for Gaga :o

 

On the other hand, I fear there will soon be nothing interesting left from the album and no more promo for her to be done. IMO it is not wise to burn her new album out this way, having released 4 songs (and soon 5) before the album is released and visiting every big show all at once. It will flare fast and extinguish soon. By the end of may she will have promoted half the album as promo singles... what is the next step? Again on Ellen etc and the rest half of the album as promo singles? I do not think this BURN OUT campaign is the most appropriate really, but time will tell... (I predict her promo team will be 'renewed' after this era)

 

EDIT: my favourite from this era is also Judas (both video and song)! gotta love the bridge :rofl: :lol:

Please do not call it Scheibe :angry: It's an eszett, not a B. If you don't want to type Scheiße then say 'Scheisse'.

This album is SO amazing! :wub: I'm upping my first week sales pred. to about 190k, as has been mentioned several times interest has been reignited with the promo strategy. Though I predict 190k-ish, over 200k is certainly not out of the question!

Yes, completing an album counts as +1 for the album and -1 for any previously bought singles.

She's going on a worldwide promo tour. Her management are hoping for 30M worldwide, and while it may be far too ambitious, it is a target they hope to reach. She's planning promotion in countries like China and India in the hope of breaking the music markets there, while she has just reached huge levels of popularity in Japan (BTW was the first single in over a decade from an international artist to go top 10 on the Oricon chart, IIRC). She will promote in the UK too; she's back in the UK in June which should be around the time of BGT, which I hope she performs on. Then she has X Factor (France), Germany's Next Top Model, MTV Japan... This will be huge...

I do hope the album's not burnt out too soon, future singles may struggle to sell without serious BGT/X-Factor promo because her album sales will most likely be massive. For the same reason, I wonder if future Adele singles (Turning Tables, Set Fire To The Rain I'd guess) might actually underperform and merely stabilise "21"'s sales a little.
