I by far don't think it will be 200k+ given that the sales are very low. Yes, she's outselling ## 2-7 combined (including a new entry from Justin Bieber) but these are comparative figures, not absolute.

She surely has 200k+ in her sights for this week? I'd imagine she'll have decent streaming too and I really can't see the hype dying down anytime soon.

 

Given how low single sales are she'll probably sell over 100k :D

200k is unrealistic given the extent to which download sales have collapsed, if she can even manage 100k downloads that will be very impressive. She should have a good chance of having the first song for months to go over 100k chart sales anyway, as I'm sure she will have strong first week streaming totals as well - maybe not matching Bieber's #1 debut but perhaps not far off?

The new Adele song is fantastic, no surprise to see it so far ahead so impressive stuff! Glad Justin is doing well too, will hopefully give him another top 10 hit, Sorry is SO GOOD.

Sales may be low, but given her lead (which will continue to increase) she should sell very very well. Will be interesting to see how much KDA have sold this week later today when the new chart's out - that should give us some basis to estimate how much Adele might sell.

 

Will be nteresting to see how she'll do on streaming services.

I think Adele's streaming will be just as strong as Justin's was in the first few days. If she'll hold up the way he did, will be to be seen, but I can see it being a huge streaming hit too.

 

KDA were selling roughly 8261 a day this week with a bit of streaming data still missing, if Adele continues to sell 80% of what they're selling, that's 40k a day. It really is difficult to work out, but so long as she doesn't free-fall she could sell a lot more than what people are estimating here.

Yeah I think that 100k is extremely pessimistic. Yes sales have been lower for the last few weeks but Bieber's new one is probably off to a pretty good start and look at how much she's outselling that by. Add in streaming and she's surely in for a lot more than 100k.

 

I'd love it to get to 200k but think even 170k is fairly realistic, looking at the huge gap on iTunes.

I'd say 170k too, but I don't think 200k is unrealistic. Beiber went straight in at #1 with 83k a few weeks back, so I can't see him doing less than around 65k this week and she's got 75% on him.

I'm here for Blurred Lines/Uptown Funk Sales

The lead is still growing. He's now only 25% of her. If that carries on for a while (and I could see her extending that gap further) and he goes on to sell even 50k this week, that puts her well on course for big numbers.

 

Obviously it's unlikely she'll still be selling 4 times what he is later in the week but I can't imagine she's going to drop like a stone either.

Down to 23% and We all know that the lead can't be that big for over a week but when he was selling 83K that week.. he was decreasing also during the week and most of his sales came in his first 3 days... so that's equal.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if she sells 70k+ just today. I'm sticking with 200k now. It's about time we saw some good numbers again.
