Posted March 13, 201312 yr Massive comeback on Monday 18th March with the release of 'The 20/20 Experience' finally here! What do you guys think will be its opening sales? We know it will peak at #1 so won't add a poll of where we think it will peak :lol:
March 13, 201312 yr 71,000 - 90,000 Might also do the double, Mirrors could get a 4th week at #1 Last act to spend 4 weeks at #1 is Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe, April 2012
March 13, 201312 yr Author Never expected Mirrors to spend 3 weeks at #1, 4 weeks would be incredible! It doesn't even have an official video out yet :o A lot of people have been waiting for this comeback! What if I wanted to predict 70.5k? :P Knew there would be one :P Round it up.

March 13, 201312 yr It certainly has been a well-received comeback from Timberlake - the video-less "Mirrors" looking to grab a third week at #1 is testament to that. The fact that two versions are available, and that album sales have picked up a tad with 'anticipated' releases (see Bastille clearing 50k); I reckon Timberlake should easily clear 51k - unsure whether it'll manage 70k though (though I'll happily be proved wrong).
March 13, 201312 yr I went with 71-90k. Mirrors is liked by a lot of non fans I think, so the album is gonna go well I feel.
March 13, 201312 yr My heart says 300,000 but my head says 65,000. That's a lot of love for Justin! Understandable :heart:
March 13, 201312 yr I don't think they'll be THAT high, certainly not as good as David Bowie. I see him as a bit like Pink in that, even though they're mainstream pop acts who can shift a lot of albums over the long term, they never really have HUGE first-week sales -- I think FutureSex/LoveSounds only sold something like 90k in it's first week, and that was in a much better climate. I guess it'll be something like 60-70k.
March 13, 201312 yr The pre-order has done incredibly well on iTunes, started off around the same as Bowie's pre-order and then actually held up unlike his and is now back in the top 10, which leads me to believe he should pass 100k. Said 90-110k anyhow.
March 13, 201312 yr I'd say 71,000-90,000. I do think that some people are overestimating his potential, but I do think that it's going to sell quite well in its first week, if that makes sense. ^_^
March 13, 201312 yr I voted 71k-90k in the poll, but that was before I read Bre's comment about the pre-order on iTunes. I dunno, something's telling me he's not going to beat Bowie's opening week, but I do think he will be a lot more consistent both in his chart run and sales. I don't think his sales are gonna drop as fast as people think/expect. Well I hope not anyway. The album is flawless.
March 13, 201312 yr The pre-order has done incredibly well on iTunes, started off around the same as Bowie's pre-order and then actually held up unlike his and is now back in the top 10, which leads me to believe he should pass 100k. Said 90-110k anyhow. I swear David Bowie has held up better than Justin Timberlake. Bowie had almost a week at number one back when Where Are We Now? was release too. I don't think he'll beat Bowie's sales, so I'll say somewhere between 70k and 80k. EDIT: Well, he actually had 3 days, but I suspect he had a substantial lead. :P David Bowie 's pre-order was available from 8 January whereas Justin Timberlake's was 11 February. You're right about Justin holding up better and being more consistent, Bowie returned to the Top 100 at the end of February when Timberlake was Top 40, but Bowie has been ahead at times. I still think Bowie's pre-orders will have been better. Edited March 13, 201312 yr by liamk97
March 13, 201312 yr I think it could easily do 90k+, although that's all thanks to 'Mirrors'. If he had just released this off the back of 'Suit & Tie' it would be significantly lower than that.
