August 17, 201410 yr Author Troye Sivan Set for Top 10 Debut on Billboard 200 Billboard (August 15th, 2014): "YouTuber-turned-major label recording artist Troye Sivan is aiming for a top 10 debut on the Billboard 200 chart. Industry forecasters suggest the 19-year old's TRXYE EP, released on Aug. 15, could sell perhaps 30,000 to 35,000 copies by the end of the tracking week on Sunday, Aug. 17. That might be enough to make it the top debut of the week. Meanwhile, the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack should hold atop the list for a second frame, with perhaps 75,000. Sivan won't be the only notable new arrival on next week's Billboard 200, as rock band The Gaslight Anthem should also make a top 10 debut. The group's new Get Hurt could sell around 30,000 to 35,000." http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/...0-billboard-200
August 17, 201410 yr Author BIG difference between the predictions from Hits Daily Double and Billboard for Troye Sivan. 20k is a lot when sales are so low.

August 18, 201410 yr The lack of releases lately is absolutely dire but lucky for Sam Smith and Ed as it's greatly helping their chart positions. This boring soundtrack being #1 is awful :drama:
