May 12, 20205 yr I think people are visiting shops more in the end of May so the physical sales might be up a bit? In the US Target will obviously campaign a big time to sell their own exclusive version of the album. I think it can do 200k in the US. UK is tougher but if physical is widely available there's no reason why it couldn't do 30k at least.
May 12, 20205 yr Hopefully! I can't really see shops advertising the album much though given they're effectively encouraging people to shop for items that aren't necessary :( I know Chromatica IS essential :kink: but you know what I mean x
May 13, 20205 yr Yeah, but even The Strokes have sold like 15k physical copies of their latest album.... and she has the fanbase. Edited May 13, 20205 yr by SKOB
May 13, 20205 yr It'll be interesting to see who would've got the #1 had Gerry Cinnamon and Gaga still released on the same day. I'm glad they'll both be #1 though! (hopefully)
May 13, 20205 yr It'll be interesting to see who would've got the #1 had Gerry Cinnamon and Gaga still released on the same day. I'm glad they'll both be #1 though! (hopefully) What were his eventual sales on week 1?
May 13, 20205 yr Definitely both #1 but I think sales in the UK will be dire... we all thought Dua's first week album sales would be huge and it kind of tanked due to the current album sales situation :( It was clear to me that people we over-estimating the sales for Dua. She actually performed better than I was expecting thanks to the discounting and hype of the chart battle. There will be some negative impact on her sales due to the current album market but Lady Gaga has a strong fanbase and there's multi formats that people can purchase from her website, so I can see that making up for its hindrances. What were his eventual sales on week 1? 28,945 Physicals: 18,075 (6.4k vinyl) Downloads: 4,245 Streams: 6,629
May 13, 20205 yr 28,945 Physicals: 18,075 (6.4k vinyl) Downloads: 4,245 Streams: 6,629 If Gaga can match this in week 1, I will be very happy!
May 13, 20205 yr What were the bundles and website exclusive options like for Joanne (like the vinyls, cassettes etc.)? I feel like there’s a good selection this time that a lot of stans will buy multiple versions of which will help with physical sales. I think she will do similar to how Gerry Cinnamon and Joanne did - shy of 30k but over 25k
May 31, 20205 yr I'm really hoping for #1 in the UK and US. Maybe around 20k in the UK and no idea for how the US is looking - 200k? I'm actually embarrassed I underrated her power like this :no: Upgrading my prediction to ~60k in the UK and ~270k in the US x
May 31, 20205 yr Sales are so much higher than I would have guessed! I’d have said 35K for the week so amazing that she’s done that already :o
May 31, 20205 yr 20k in UK and 170k in US Both #1 debut!! :rofl: But that was just based on Stupid Love so forgive me!!!
