April 3, 200817 yr UK - I don't know, this could go either way really. I hope for Top15 at LEAST, but i'll be optimistic and say Top10. Although I have a feeling it'll peak the same way Mimi did, 7 or thereabous. US - #1 surely? Depending on how well Leona sells the previous week obviously...
April 3, 200817 yr ^^800k :o I'm not so sure. I'm think 400-500 maybe. Number 1 is pretty much guaranteed in US. I think 7-10 for the UK.
April 3, 200817 yr 800k+ in the first week? NO CHANCE. :lol: Maybe at Christmas and stuff aye, but this time of year? No way. :P Mimi only sold 410k when it was released this time in 2005, and sales have gone waaaay down since then. :( I'll be pleased with about 300-350k. ^_^
April 4, 200817 yr I think you'll be seriously surprised. :heehee: Mariah has some HUGE promotion from the likes of Idol and the fact that her single is #1, plus all the hype around the records she has achieved with it. It's Like That never even made the Top 15 and that still got TEOM off to a 400k start! Even Danity Kane's album got nearly 300k in it's debut. I think there's no doubt E=MC2 will get a minimum of half a million but possibly up to 8/900k. ^_^
April 4, 200817 yr #1 in the US Top 10 hopefully in the UK Could gain 400-450K sales in its first week
April 6, 200817 yr In the UK, I think it'll have a healthy #5 debut and bomb down the chart rapidly, it'll depend on the second single saving it again. #5 peak though either way. In the US #1 of course.
April 6, 200817 yr Author Top 5 perhaps, though since it has leaked it might be lower. <_< Illegal downloads don't really make an impact. Even in the Uk, and plus I guess more then half of the people who downloaded it will go out and buy it anyway if they like it. :P

Agreed, Mimi was falling a bit rapidly until WBT started getting rotation, but the album didn't leave the Top75 until almost a year after it was released. :P Top 5 perhaps, though since it has leaked it might be lower. <_< John every album leaks before the release but they still manage to do well and have really good sales. ;)
April 6, 200817 yr Mimi entered at 7 and hung around for ages. I think she's attracted some new fans so I reckon a top 5 debut. The album will have a second wind at some stage too. And US #1 with quite wonderful sales. Perhaps half a million? That would be great. Edited April 6, 200817 yr by Tim
April 6, 200817 yr John every album leaks before the release but they still manage to do well and have really good sales. ;) Quite. The people who've downloaded the leaks are a mix of (1) fans who can't wait and will buy anyway (2) people who download everything anyway and wouldn't have bought it or any other album anyway.
