According to billboard Taylor will sell over 1 mln copies this week. It will be her second album with more than one million sale in first week, only 3 acts achieved it before her ( N'Sync, BB, Eminem).

Why 1D are gaining so slowly?

Katy has 4 songs with over 5.2 mln sale, and 0 with over 6 mln sale.

PSY and Marron 5 will have two first position on the BB100, Adele with 1D and Taylor will be in top 5.

Billboard. com still thinks that 1D will be around 300k, in my opinion they should sell more.

It would be great if each of this 4 (Taylor, Adele, Psy and 1D) sell more than 300k.

Presently, industry sources suggest that "Gangnam Style" might sell between 270,000 to 290,000 downloads by the end of the tracking week on Sunday. Maroon 5, however, may shift 155,000 to 175,000. Not in the running for No. 1, but targeting a top 10 debut, are One Direction's "Live While We're Young" and Taylor Swift's "Red." The former hit digital retailers on Monday, Oct. 1 while Swift's track went on sale the following day. One Direction might sell around 300,000 downloads, while Swift should move more than 300,000. The airplay for "Live While We're Young" is still building, so it's not a contender for the No. 1 slot on the Hot 100. The same goes for Swift's "Red," which is another pre-release single from the same-titled album, due out Oct. 22. billboard. com If Taylor sold 600k copies of We are.... and Red has even better 1st day of sale, I think Taylor and 1D may sell much more than 300k.

Is there any chance that 1D will be next hot billboard no.1?

check ukmix

Could someone tell me about EP. Did they add EP's sale to single, or they will do it after end of the week?

Where you predict 1D will be charted this week??

And it's just 7.34 AM in California.

I still don't believe that Rihanna will be no.1 this week.

The have in Poland so probably as well in uk.

Last year thanks to preorders 1D sold 82 k copies in two days, and now they had even more preorders. So if they will have around 90-100k copies after 2 days it's imposiible that PSY or Rihanna will have no.1 at the end of the week. Let's be honest that PSY song is some kind of joke, and Diamonds are far far away form Rihanna's best single, they doesn't have any chance with power of teen and preteen girls.

Mumford & sons according to Billboard will sell 600k in their first week of sale.

I highly doubt that 1D will sell 500k copies of their album, I think it would be 300-400k, and you have right that Taylor wouldn't sell more than N'Sync I just wanted to say that she will have biggest opening week in digital era.

Judging on iphone in America poor quality does not affect the sale :lol:

First prediction for Justin also was around 500k, so I think that 1D might be overestimated. And Taylor for sure will have best selling 1st week in history.

Nothing had been left to chance by Sony Music, with the band's hit album Up All Night selling over five million copies. 'The songs, publishing, discs, DVDs, merchandising and endorsements brought in huge profits, with the five members of the group together estimated to have earned nearly £100 million ($162 million). :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o Naturally, Sony and Syco raked in much more.'

Before end of 2012 the wanted should sell more than 1D in their first week :lol:

Carrie Underwood has sold 13.4 million albums and 24.9 million downloads in the US. Taylor Swift has sold 17.8 million albums and 51.1 million downloads in the US.

OneDirection's Up All Night: The Live Tour is #1 on Top Music Videos for the 14th (!!!!!!!!!!) week. The DVD sold 7,000 copies this week (283,000).
