I got absolutely no clue obvs ahahaha :lol:

 

Imma go low and say 30k UK, 350k US and #1 in both territories.

The lack of any build up, promo and successful singles it’s obviously going to hinder it a lot. It also has the vibe of a much less commercial sound than her last few albums

 

I’m gonna say 25k In the UK and 400k in the US but that US number may be quite optimistic

think the multi formatting will sure help

watch all the Swifties buy 8CDs+8 vinyls+the cassette :D

I got absolutely no clue obvs ahahaha :lol:

UK: 40k-49k

Will it be #1: No, I feel like something else might beat it, I hope I am wrong.

 

US: 700k-799k

#1?: Absolutely. ;)
