So the new album is out today in Ireland and Monday in the UK. How do people think it will do chart position wise and sales by the end of the year. Any other comments?

 

Review have been excellent with DigitalSpy comparing it to Destiny's Child Writin's on the Wall, Sugarscape gave it 9.10

Polls added.

So seems I voted by accident when trying to view the results and have no idea what they were for. :lol: I'm going to say #3, behind Eminem and Lady Gaga and on sales of 50-60k, so basically the same as 'DNA' last year (I suspect it'll have better longevity though.) I'll remain hopeful that it manages to do more though, since it really is a fantastic album!

 

Oh and by the way, a 50-60k option is missing.

 

Aaaand I've just realised that viewing the results is the equivalent of a null vote. Only took me a year. :lol:

I predict:

 

01. Lady GaGa

02. Keane/The Killers

03. The Killers/Keane

04. Eminem

05. Little Mix (30k-40k)

I can't see Eminem dropping further than #2.

I can't see it doing 80k+ realistically #5, probably on sales 36k as Keane, Killers, Lady Gaga and Eminem will be ahead.

 

I know I was a bit steep towards the end of the poll, but I can't see them pass 40k with other strong album releases.

I thought, as per the first post, that the poll was asking us to vote for sales up to year end, rather than opening sales?

"Where will it chart?"

 

"On Sales of..."

 

suggests that they mean the opening sales. By the end of the year, I'm thinking <150k. Depends on when they announce a second single and whether it'll be rush released for a Dec release, or get a Feb release.

Oops OK, I just read the first post:

Which is why I voted 80k+!

They managed >50k last year. I know sales have declined, but I can't see them doing that much less with a stronger album. It also seems to cater to an older age range, so I'm hoping that might work in their favour.

Who says it's a stronger album? And even if it is, how many people would know before they bought it?

Just about every review. :P But yeah, probably should have added 'arguably'. And again... reviews. I don't know about anyone else, but I tend to read them before I make an album purchase haha.

I've predicted #4 with sales between 20k and 30k, it definitely won't be any higher than 40k I think.

i think #3 & 35k 1st wk. end of year 90k x
