Posted 13 hours ago13 hr A predictor thread for petal! With just over a month to go until Ariana drops album #8 I thought I’d make a thread about how we think this will do on week one.Tried to make options as realistic as possible by looking at how much her biggest debuts had been!This time around she’s releasing an album on tour so there’s promo there, there’s been a longer pre order period than there was for her last two releases too, and there’s many variants / bundles too. I think these will / should all work in her favour.

12 hours ago12 hr Hoping it'll be another upward trend / her best first week since thank u, next - went for the 45-54k option! I'll guess 46k as an exact figure, beating sweetener.Chose 250-299k in the USA so an improvement on eternal sunshine there as well
12 hours ago12 hr Author Also forgot to add the “position” on there on where we think this will enter! 🤩I’m hopeful for a #1 debut on both unless something major happens. I’m gonna perhaps be optimistic here and say 300k or just under for the USA! As for the UK I think it might do similar-ish to sweetener so maybe around the 45k mark. I think if we get another single before album release sales might be higher / more pre orders could happen!I think this should hold up decent enough though with the tour (and the UK shows being directly after album release!).
