She should have released rhe album much esrliee, bavk when there wasn'gmajor competition every week, too.

I think Dua would have to delay for a month at this rate! I can’t see her opening as high as Future Nostalgia this time either

 

This era doesn't feel as big but with the surge of vinyls/multi-formats, I can still see her opening with similar numbers.

100% this

I don’t even think Kanye will get #1 in the US or here

 

Can imagine Taylor’s third week sales will trump Kanyes first week in the US, imagine it could be:

#1 Taylor (3rd week)

#2 Kanye

#3 Dua

 

Whilst Dua I think in the U.K. will beat Kanyes first week and Taylor’s third week, could be close between all three though, but a guess (very unsure on this one):

 

#1 Dua

#2 Kanye

#3 Taylor

 

My guess if Kanye does bother to actually release when Kanye says he will is...

 

US:

 

1. Taylor

2. Kanye

3. Dua

 

UK:

 

1. Dua

2. Taylor

3. Kanye

There's probably like a 10% chance of Kanye actually dropping next week anyway let's be real. (Plus he said before that it's not going to be on streaming so if he sticks to his word on that - if the album ever comes out at all - it definitely isn't going anywhere near #1 in either country).

 

Dua vs. Taylor's third week could be quite close in the UK I reckon (though I'd be tempted to say Taylor is the favourite), but I'm not sure Dua will even be in the mix for #2 in the US, 'Future Nostalgia' only peaked at #3 there.

If a Daya song is gonna take off, it should be Sit Still Look Pretty but come through Hide Away!!

I think top 3 for Dua in the US is very optimistic. I reckon it will enter between 6-10 at best. She should get the UK number one though!

SURELY a Week 1 Kanye album will out do a Week 3 Taylor album?

Fortnight is going down faster than I thought on Spotify

 

 

Multiple 900k+ days over long period now. The autoplay angle not looking strong. The gap pretty big too now so unless Taylor sells 12k CDs Sabrina should still get 1

Top 5 debut at best for Dua in US…anything higher than that it will be amazing result!!!

SURELY a Week 1 Kanye album will out do a Week 3 Taylor album?

 

I am not sure.. Kanye only did 20k last time, I reckon this time would be more like 14-15k. I reckon Taylor could still be doing that number from streams alone on third week.

 

 

SURELY a Week 1 Kanye album will out do a Week 3 Taylor album?

 

Part 2 albums usually do worse off than Part 1s when released fairly close together and I expect her to still be above 20k on Week 3.

Multiple 900k+ days over long period now. The autoplay angle not looking strong. The gap pretty big too now so unless Taylor sells 12k CDs Sabrina should still get 1

 

It's only been a week which is about how long these autoplay boosts usually last. If she's still pulling 900k+ days another week from now then fair enough.

Something to watch out for is Kendrick Lamar's new diss track aimed at Drake called Euphoria. I'm expecting that to get some huge streams mostly in the US but it should translate here as well.

Ah when I checked earlier that was only on YouTube but I see it's on Spotify now too.

 

It is 6 and a half minutes long which won't help but yeah could be quite big (for a week x).
