November 10, 20177 yr Voted 50-75k, I'm predicting 70k. I’ll be SCREAMING if she ends up at #2 behind Sam Smith after all the hate he got about his opening week sales :lol: The hype around this seems to have died down and her singles/instant grats have not had as much staying power as I expected, will be interesting to see the first set of mids!
November 10, 20177 yr Not expecting much for this. Haven’t heard anyone speak about it. Many HMVs are banned from selling it so predicting 45-50k
November 10, 20177 yr I've not heard about HMVs being banned from selling it, but there's been a stock issue (my copy couldn't be shipped on time and some shops didn't have stock today). Besides, all I've seen on my FB today is Taylor Swift!! 45-50k is waaay too low imo. Can definitely see 80k+.
November 10, 20177 yr Do people still even use HMV :huh: our local one got shut down due to poor sales :lol: If I want a CD then I get it from the supermarket when am getting other bits, I wouldn't ever find myself going HMV just for a CD or DVD when my local supermarkets all stock them :mellow: Maybe that is just me though but I doubt some HMV not having it in stock is hardly going to make a huge difference to her sales.

November 10, 20177 yr Yeah, heard many HMVs are banned as some played it in their stores last week. There was an embargo on playing them before the release date but it'd be stupid if they weren't allowed to sell them after the proper release date surely? Do people still even use HMV :huh: our local one got shut down due to poor sales :lol: If I want a CD then I get it from the supermarket when am getting other bits, I wouldn't ever find myself going HMV just for a CD or DVD when my local supermarkets all stock them :mellow: Maybe that is just me though but I doubt some HMV not having it in stock is hardly going to make a huge difference to her sales. I think HMV not stocking it would be a pretty big problem for her, but thankfully it seems to be a short-term problem (my copy from HMV online got shipped earlier, just a day or so later than normal).
November 10, 20177 yr I love going into HMV, surely I can’t be the only one? Love looking at all the CDs and buying 1 or 2 :P
November 10, 20177 yr I wasn't being funny with that comment by the way incase it came across that way just something have never done myself haha, Its not all HMV's though joseph not that am aware of. I have seen fans on taylor forum on here saying they picked it up at HMV today so its just some stores not all of them I don't think.
November 10, 20177 yr Lol, no way this "some HMV stores are banned from selling the album" thing is true.
November 11, 20177 yr Of course it's not, she's the queen of 10's pop but also queen of fake news. Like the 800k in an hour from iTunes thing. Some of her fans are just delusional spreading the things they come up with as "news"
November 11, 20177 yr Soo... do the math? I can't :D https://twitter.com/MintRoyale/status/929292987405873152
November 11, 20177 yr I work it out as 46.5k which is only 1k less than what 1989 did on its first day
November 11, 20177 yr yeah, I'd say about 60% of all physicals are probably bought at HMV so it's still important :D
November 11, 20177 yr Sam only on 8k so far after his BBC special too? :huh: I knew people was overestimating the boost that would give him. Great to see Taylor on 46k already. Edited November 11, 20177 yr by BrookeOlivia
