It will still do about 600K. I don't remember (m)any people here suggesting it would do 700K anyway. Yet it is sure 600K is closer to 700K than 200K :lol: My predictions (even though they were merely predicions based on previous sales and the hype for both acts) were quite accurate after all. :D If the album does 300K+ on 2nd week and 200K 3rd week I demand the 'Harry Potter' oscar. :lol: I still wonder whether sales will slow down somewhat when SOME (excluding Jupiter who is better than 2X15 B) ) ladies over 30 discover it is an album with a different direction or not. I guess it will start to appeal to 'non-fans' by that time...

1)Take That - The Flood <favourite> 2)Jason DeRulo - In My Head 3)Rihanna - Only Girl (In The World) I DON't like anything after this position but since I have to rank them... 4)Taio Cruz ft. Ke$ha - Dirty Picture 5)David Guetta & Chris Willis ft. Fergie & LMFAO - Gettin' Over You 6)Robyn - Dancing On My Own 7)Example - Kickstarts 8)Katy B - Katy On A Mission 9)Kelly Rowland - Commander 10)Sidney Samson - Riverside (Let's Go!)

JLS must be dropping a bit. Take That and Lady Goulding are closer now (actually TT combined and Ellie are same length :o ) I doubt it will change a lot to the total though. Even if TT overtake JLS this evening or tomorrow they wil need a big lead which is not really possible. As for Ellie she had a slow start she will need a huge lead to overtake JLS or TT, I guess she won't even overtake Rihanna.

I am not sure Beatles are the best thing ever happened to music so I could say they are overrated if people believe that. However I cannot say they are overrated because they have been (like it or not) one of the most important acts in music history + revolutional + creative for their times. They may sound weird, old and retro now because they ARE! Music changes with time, almost every song you will listen to that is as old as the Beatles or even older will sound old-weird-boring. This doesn't affect their classic value imo, even if I have never added anything appart from 4-5 songs of the Beatles discography into my ipod playlist. And I am 21 and my parents have NO Beatles albums! (if that makes any difference)

It is yet a possibility with the hype , the singles and the tour coming... IF it is not their last album as 5TT then it becomes less possible thats true. But the crazy ones are those voting BELOW 2 million really. Even as a catalogue seller it would definitely sell two millions after a few years. IMO it will have sold 2 millions before the Brits maximum - by January probably. Progress may stall after that point at 2.5 millions but it could eventually sell the last 0.5million as a catalogue seller (150-200/year is NOT extraordinary for TT or Robbie)

People voting under 400K should be amazed! :P :P :P We are not crazy ones you see? I think we will say that to people voting 400-500K later on during the week (friday most probably the album will be close to if not already over that mark) Amazing sales... I wonder if they will fall fast during the week or continue to sell the estimated 650K...

Take That: The Flood: #2 #43 #45 Rule the world: #82 Greatest Day: #117 SOS: #148 Shine: #170 Never Forget: #184 8 Letters: #186 Kidz: #196 Also, Shame:#37 #161 And by the way: #174 All I want for xmas is you #127 Fairytale of New York

It is a topic for predictions but come on... do you REALLY believe Progress will sell 150, 180, 200, 250K ? :lol: Also if it has a week of about 400K now and xmas (as mentioned) how can it end up selling 1 million? :lol: Midweek sales will clear things up for everyone. If the album is by then over 250K (not to mention the more realstic 400) it obviously won't sell 200 the whole week, will it? :hithead:

I would have thought with all promo lined up for Germany and Robbies status it is surefire no1.

I think they will definitely keep Everything Changes, Never Forget , Back for Good, Angels for the end of the show.

JLS are still comfortably ahead of TT... The high version has (predictably) stalled. Album's out. The BEP's are holding up very well :o I doubt either Safe or G6 could ever get top5.

I second that! I've been just told... :blink: I was always secretly expecting ~600K but I still cannot believe they will beat this mosterous record (over 750) until I see it happen. Perhaps some people here predicting 180-250K will eat their hat after all. :lol: :teresa: EDIT: I have no info about their itunes sales... but 250K looks out of the question to me. No album has ever sold even more than 60K on itunes. I believe you have there the Amazon estimate for the whole week together with the HMV estimate for the first day. (HMV total for the week could be 300+)... This looks like a more suitable estimation: HMV 320, Amazon 200, itunes 90, other retailers 90 (~700K) BUT I don't trust such numbers till I see them officially. (all this is just an unofficial estimation from a friend in MW)

Take That: The flood: #2 and #71 #79 (these are still rising) Rule the World: #75 Greatest day #107 Never Forget: #154 Shine: #155 Patience: #190 also Shame: #34 #135

Which means people think he sang very well! To be fair he was really shaky and emotional at the beginning until Mark started playing with him but he improved later on. What are they talking about? Robbie forgets the lyrics, may sing out of tune at times but has never mimed :wacko: :lol:

I'd say 450-550K first week (they can do even more than that)! 1 million after 3 weeks (or 4 maximum) and 2 millions by the end of the year (by March max). I am actually curious if anyone will manage to knock them down from the no1 spot. Looks like there are more powerful singles coming...

I am bored with westlife releasing the same thing over and over again. I used to like a part of them but they have lost their touch. sigura tha ine panta kaliteroi apo tus jls simfono. (an kai mono esi tha katalaveis ti leo!) :naughty:

Westlife: great voices--> you probably mean 1 or 2 of them great guys--> ok poor music--> ok creativity--> never heard of!!! Take That: Gary Barlow is a star---> never was even back then when they were 20 yo. It is a film we have already seen now, Robbie is the star and the charisa of the band, although Gary is a better 'chief' and musician and a talented artist. the rest are poor in everything--> including Robbie who has done everything? Anyway you will be surprized by this album seeing how much (more than Gary) others contribute. It is a different direction for TT nevertheless. It is actually a worthy effort from everyone. (some more than others)

Even if they meant so they kept it silent so than people would asume they mean WW. Robbie should be WELL ahead in the UK albumswise anyway so it is still a lie.

Can you perhaps post them then? My pop bars are SO irrelevant. A short one (JLS) is followed by a longer one(TT) and then comes a third one (Rihanna's) which is even bigger... :wacko: And I've got the 'most recent' itunes version. They should be calles ifools :lol:

I see a brave fellow in this thread... take cover it is coming at you! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think it is in the same league with RTW. (a little better or worse) Greatest Day is much worse...

I think its a disgrace too. Maybe I could get a demo of Mariah after some decades and sing a duet with 'her'! COOL :puke2: They should be snobbed for doing it. A bunch o m*********ers making money on a dead popstars back. MJ was hugely important back then, enough with him now... it is getting creepy. Perhaps we can find some blood from his jacket, extract his dna and create a clone! :banghead: + I don't think he would ever accept such a cheap collaboration attempt, he doesn't need that.

It doesn't really make much difference to people watching the show if Westlife have sold 40, 43 0r 45 millions. If it is like what you say then it IS a lie, but so what we all got used to them. I highly doubt westlife's last album has sold more than 1.5 millon worldwide. (it should have shipped about 1millon actually)

I completelly agree with DeNiro's review. This is my favourite TT album ahead of Beautiful World. So ahead that the world has started looking a bit ugly. :lol: Beyond my expectations (and everyone else's) I feel it will be massive.

Good one! Rob playing with Mark as expected! It is the 2 of them that are having most of the fun + creation in this album. Is it supposed to be Robbie leading the chorus as well or he just outsang everyone else? I think Gary's microphome had some volume problems throughout the performance! GOOD ONE Once again Robbie was kind of terrified at the beginning :lol:
