With Rihannas highly anticipated 6th studio album Talk That Talk being releases in two weeks time, what does the Buzzjack community think her opening sales will be?

On the buzz of the :

#1 single We Found Love (4 weeks atop so far)

Second single released to radio - You Da One

Positive feedback from the web rip leak on-line

An X-Factor performance

 

does this have the potential to pass 200k week one or go beyond this?

does anyone think it could reach 1 million by the year end?

 

ONLY TIME WILL TELL

discuss!

You have the poll as multiple choice :P Anyway, I'd say 100-150k, but she will sadly be beaten by One Direction :(

I think it'll sell about 100,000 in its first week. No way can I see it selling over 200,000 in its release week! :o Although I wouldn't mind if it did.

Around 130.000

I think around 100k

She's never been a first week big opener has she... although she perhaps could regain #1 if she does the X Factor finals again. I say about 150K or so, but beaten by 1D.

What have been the first week sales for her last few albums?

I've optimistically gone for 150-200k - it's hard to judge, she's obviously massive at the moment and Loud turned out to be a huge seller, but who knows if everyone will come out for her in week one. I still think she'll beat One Direction though.

she has so much hype and love in the UK I expect big things from this album for anyone who hasn't heard Where Have You Been you need to hear this! It will shit when released!

I went with 200k-300k but I kinda regret that now as 150k-200k would have been more realistic. Anyway, I see it having huge sales. It has to cross 100k for sure.

110,000 with a steady stream of 100k+ weeks until January. 1.3 million copies sold when all's said and done.

definately over 100k n although i hope not i think she will be beaten to no1 by 1D i think TTT will sell consistently well just as Loud has done

200-300k - she'll blast 'Wand Erection' out of sight!

I think 150-160k. Think and hope she will beat One Direction, just. I'm thinking maybe a lot of the One Direction fans are kids so their parents might buy the album for them nearer/for Christmas which might lessen first week sales.

150k+

 

she has it all pointing in the right direction to be a huge opening week.

With a solid X Factor performance I can definately see this selling around 200k in the first week. She's obviously a huge album seller here now and We Found Love has been massive. She'll definately be near a million by the end of the year.

I predict 100-150k first week sales with the potential to increase sales in the weeks approaching Christmas when everyone starts buying albums in their bucketloads.

130k, sales over Xmas should keep it top 5 for a few weeks.

They should release the "You Da One" video at the beginning of December to maximise Christmas sales and then release "Where Have You Been" late February to keep sales strong. I wanted this era to be a long one (not just 9 months then announce new album) but I can't see what other singles there could be. Talk That Talk and maybe Drunk On Love but nothing else screams hit to me.
