We're within a month of the expected release date, so it's time to predict!

 

Obviously there's no point having a poll as to where it will chart, as that's the biggest no-brainer of the century :lol: , so it's more of sales prediction thread

Glad to see I'm not the only one picking 500k+ 1st week. :)

~400k

~1.2m

10-14 weeks

I know sales really are in the shitter, but I can really see Adele being the exception. I think it'll manage around 600k (maybe even selling faster than Oasis' record) first week, with about 1.9m by the end of the year and around 9 weeks at #1. I'm pretty confident the album will dominate even more than the single!

565,000

 

1,750,000

 

14+

Don't think she'll beat Take That's first week sales for Progress. Different music market now. Should probably clear 350k first week.

300-350k

 

750-1 million

 

8-9 weeks

 

I'm going to play it safe but I think she could easily go over 400k first week but I'm not sure, but the demand is there. And of course she will have the biggest selling album if 2015, I can see her being close to a million by end of the year.

I'd think she will clear 300k on the first run and should be at Number 1 until Christmas and beyond!

Ooops...totally missread the thread. I thought it was about the single.

550k+

 

2 million+ by the end of the year and 10-14 weeks at #1.

Predict: 250K - 300K

Sales for YE: 1M - 1.2M

Weeks at No. 1: 6-7 Weeks

 

We will be number 1 til' years end. She will be toppled by the january clearout sales and then return to the summit

I think she will debut around 300-400k

surely, she will claim No.1 best selling album by 800k+ or 1M+ (if next single is hyped)

 

She will take No.1 spot till New Years

350-400k

1.25m-1.5m

more than 14 weeks

 

They are my predictions! ^_^

I've also gone for over 500k. Those of you who have said less than 200k are really imo underestimating the first week's demand for 25!

This Will be an absolute monster of an album, if the second single is commercially successful then we may see sales eclipse 21... Which is crazy but could happen.

1st week sales probably won't be beaten for years or even decades to come.

Everything seems to be perfectly set up for 25 to sell... Anticipation, lead single, timing and promotion.

 

Also it's scary that she said during the radio 1 interview yesterday that there is another song on the album that she says is her favourite and she can't wait for us to hear.

 

If I'd have known so many were going to pick >500k, I'd have added another category. :)

 

BTW, someone said that Oasis's 695k first week sales were actually over just 3 days, but I cannot confirm that myself, as I wasn't following the charts at the time? :unsure:

the album is no.1 on all the pre order charts both physical & digital and has been for a few days I am expecting 400-500,000 perhaps more if she has an xfactor performance & promotes a 2nd single before

Yeah, it had 3 days of sales in its first chart week, revealed as 696k at the time but since revised to 663k. It sold 813k in its first week in shops (but that will have since been downgraded too).

It was even on the actual news when that Oasis album came out. Though not everyone would remember it of course.

>550k

>2.35m

>14+ wks @ #1
