These aren't Billboard or HITS projections, though. They're industry source projections, which can't really be based on any retail information considering it couldn't have been out for more than 6 hours of retail time by the time the author wrote this article.

The only real thing I've seen anyone say is HITS saying it would be the biggest debut of the year.

That makes sense.

The two versions are split, so that would be enough to put him at #1 combined. Fiona will likely have the #2 debut.

Except her highest debut was 100K, and that was in 1999 and after she won all of the awards from Tidal.

It's possible, but very peculiar. Extraordinary Machine was pretty much equally acclaimed upon release too, so I don't see that as playing a huge role.

Artists who sell 1M+ in a week usually sells ~500k in one day.
