November 16, 201510 yr i'm nearly 100% sure that 1D should take the number one on upwards of 100k. justin should debut with a respectable 80-100k sales i reckon. as for the us, now i think that chart battle could go either way. i'd say justin will take it but i should imagine the sales difference will be quite similar to that of over here.
November 16, 201510 yr 1D outsold Justin yesterday even with missing HMV sales so it doesn't seem like they're slowing down :P Justin may close the gap a bit but not significantly enough.
November 16, 201510 yr 1D will almost certainly be #1 here :heehee: and Justin will take it in the US, although that's for another forum! i think biebs will get uk #1 in the last minute.maybe even in ireland. even though 1d's album is better. he never had that many fans in the uk so its surprising..but he is promoting really well.

There's currently a 14k gap between the two and 1D sold 2k more than Justin yesterday so I can't see the gap being closed within the remaining four days, 1D's sales won't collapse that much!
November 16, 201510 yr The gap is going to be less than 10k :cry: I never expected Justin to have any chance but seeing how close it is will be make the #2 debut disappointing
November 16, 201510 yr The gap is going to be less than 10k :cry: I never expected Justin to have any chance but seeing how close it is will be make the #2 debut disappointing I wouldn't call that close personally.
November 16, 201510 yr As much as I don't like Bieber, I'd be over the moon if he beats one direction and gets number one album this week though. Can't believe he has three songs in top 10 singles. When was the last time an artist did that?

Madonna did it, Michael Jackson after he passed away as far as I can remember, there could be someone else.
November 16, 201510 yr Madonna did it, Michael Jackson after he passed away as far as I can remember, there could be someone else. Rihanna, 5 years ago. Michael Jackson didn't do it.
November 16, 201510 yr Looks like One Direction will be selling less than Pink Floyd (139,351) and the total they managed for Four: 141,780 and likely the lowest debut to-date, previously Up All Night which sold 138,631 in its first frame back in 2011. Diminishing returns and a pretty sorry looking albums market.
November 16, 201510 yr It's obvious their star has faded slightly since Zayn's departure though so it's not exactly surprising to see lower sales, particularly considering the album is sonically a retread of everything that's gone before it. Had they taken some sort of major and interesting risk with their sound it might have appealed to more people (or indeed not and could have delivered them a complete flop album, at least the safe option bags them a few more hits :lol:)

When was the last time an artist did that? With the likely massive cherry-picks/streams, Adele might do it next week...
November 17, 201510 yr guess Hello has more downloads but Sorry has more streams what's the data on streams alone?
November 17, 201510 yr guess Hello has more downloads but Sorry has more streams what's the data on streams alone? Correct. Streaming-only 'chart sales': 11.1K for JB, 6.9K for Adele. Download sales: 23.6K for JB, 27.7K for Adele.
November 17, 201510 yr A real testament to the quality of his new music seeing Justin Bieber looking to claim his second UK number-one just weeks after his first and really giving 1D a run for their money for the #1 album.
November 17, 201510 yr adele will get #1 considering her album will be released soon. hello is much better anyway...sorry not sorry is boring.
November 17, 201510 yr A real testament to the quality of his new music seeing Justin Bieber looking to claim his second UK number-one just weeks after his first and really giving 1D a run for their money for the #1 album. what quality -better PR with using selena's name to sell his music, fake crying on stage etc. his singles are ok but other songs on his boring album are exactly the same. he is a stream artist as he cannot get #1 without that..
November 17, 201510 yr Correct. Streaming-only 'chart sales': 11.1K for JB, 6.9K for Adele. Download sales: 23.6K for JB, 27.7K for Adele. thanks for the info, appreciated

This is all opinion though, not fact. Let's not dismiss his fantastic sales as well as his huge streams. His music is "cool" to like these days so no wonder his success is huge now.
