I see ATRLers predicting 250-300K for his opening & honestly at this point that is not even plausible.

His entire tour sold out his seconds, all of Believe's promo singles have hit #1 on iTunes, & let's face it, we already know the other ones will probably hit #1 as well. The last time someone could send mere countdown singles to #1 was Ms. Milli-opener Taylor Swift herself.

Boyfriend is also pretty much a big success for him.

He's far from an artist I will ever fully support but the kid's hype is ridiculous. I'm sure the collaborations will boost his hype too, those are big names.

Can we see the promo for it first.

800k tops. 500k second week.

I highly doubt it

I don't think the sales will reach a million, but they'll be high

I'm hoping not.

I'm afraid he has a chance probably..I doubted him once..in the Boyfriend sales ...

doubt it, but I'm sure the sales will be high...

I don't think so. But I'll be interesting in seeing it when the album drops.

I think it's possible.

I don't think so. Taylor Swift has a massive fanbase as well as huge universal appeal. Justin only has the former.
I think 400k-700k is the most plausible prediction.

I Think his fans will go all out the 1st week then he will drop a la MDNA&BTW

This.

Has HITS given any early projections on what it could sell or any ideas of shipments?

600K is more likely.

Gaga also sent all but one promo single to #1.

But she also sold a million.

lol at the Nos. This is easily hitting a mili opening week.
I mean both of his singles went #1 on iTunes after release. One was even a promotional single..

The very, very preliminary numbers I read about months ago were 700K

Not surprised if it actually debut with a million copies.

I am still going to keep my prediction at around 800k+ copies,which is very impressive as well!
