Yeah that seems reasonable if the sales projections of her selling over 100,000 first day and around 76,000+ the last two days are in any way accurate. If she can maintain those numbers for the next few days she could do that or even slightly better. The timing is perfect with no new releases to interrupt until the final promo release. Then she is starting up the promotional duties and appearances for album release.

considering she has had 4 days of sales now, with >120K on day 1,
i think IKYWT must be already across 300K, if it even did 60K for the next 3 days, ending today..!!

I just realized that the new Billboard rules allows Billboard to determine whether a song is country or not. What if they wind up staffing their panel with a bunch of pressed Carrie fans? Or like someone who just really hates George Strait "yeah this new George song isn't country at all, it belongs on rhythmic, so I'm just going to move it over there". Or someone who's just really anti-Blake Shelton because of the voice. They're like "...he beat Team Ce-Lo and now he'll never have a country hit again... muahahahaha"
Obviously the criteria will be much more complex than that but it's still funny to think of.

I think UK charts are calculated from Sunday to Saturday.So even if she does not end up in top 10 this week she surely will next week
But She was in top 10 the entire week and also rose upto #8 so Still there are chances that she would chart in top 10

Will Billboard class IKYWT as country? I mean, it's not remotely country but then neither was WANEGBT.

i think they included WANEGBT coz it charted on airplay chart even before that!  just coz it went #1 in their new rule, doesnt mean they'd remove it!  so its actually pretty fair tbh..
but IKYWT will DEFINITELY not be included in HCS!

If it ends up in top 10 this week then it has got a real chance of getting 10 weeks in top 10

WANEGBT was released to country so it was already on the charts so it's a bit different. Plus it had a country remix.
I'd love to know what their criteria for determining if a song is country or not is. Are they going to go by a bunch of stereotypes? Will it be required to have some twang to it? Like how do you classify this? Does George Strait get an automatic pass for life?
1. does it mention beer, trucks, cheating, jesus, family, dancing (not clubbing)?
2. does it include a banjo? fiddle? mandolin? real musical instruments? is it guitar driven?
3. does it reference another country artist?
4. does the singer have a southern accent?
5. does someone go fishing in the song?
6. Is there farm equipment?
7. If yes to 6 is it a tractor?
8. If a truck is mentioned are the tires muddy?
9. Is there a dirt road?

10. does the artist brag about how country they are.
11. does the song have the word country in the title
12. does the artist talk about their muddy boots and cowboy hat.
Now that I think about it country music has alot in common with rap

(Reuters) – New ABC television drama Nashville takes inspiration from the city’s rich history of country music, yet the brightest star may not be the actors but rather a small record label with big ambitions.
Nashville, seen by some nine million U.S. viewers on its Wednesday night debut, shows veteran country singer Rayna Jaymes (played by Connie Britton) face off against young starlet rival Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere) as she struggles to keep her career together.
But another insight into the industry comes from the show’s partnership with one of Nashville’s independent success stories.
For Big Machine Records, which landed on the map seven years ago after signing a 15-year-old Taylor Swift as its first artist, Nashville presented a rare opportunity for the company to not only distribute the music from the TV series, but to also become part of the fabric of the plot.
The label, which also represents country music stars including Tim McGraw and Rascal Flatts, will exclusively release music sung by cast members in the show each week.
Big Machine Records artists such as rising star Justin Moore will also see some of their songs and performances featured throughout the series.
Scott Borchetta, 50, a former DreamWorks Records executive, who founded Big Machine Records in 2005, said Swift’s success gave the label “extraordinary license” to expand into new opportunities.
“Because of the success of Taylor and the momentum of the label and bringing on Rascal Flatts, Tim McGraw, Reba McEntire, and also breaking artists like The Band Perry, we’re really fortunate right now. There’s not really anywhere that we can’t at least get in the door and have a conversation,” Borchetta told Reuters in an interview this week.
Borchetta said the biggest challenge he came across with his fledgling company was trying to get a foot in the door of an already over-saturated industry.
“We had to go beg, borrow and steal every opportunity and those were the times we couldn’t get the door open so we had to kick it down or we had to sneak in the window,” he said.
“(Taylor and I) showed up at red carpets we weren’t invited to. We were not going to be stopped.”
Since then, Swift, now 22, has gone on to sell more than 20 million albums worldwide and won six Grammy awards. Country music is also booming, accounting for 42.9 million albums sold in the U.S. in 2011 – a year which saw Lady Antebellum as the biggest selling band across all genres in the U.S. music industry, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Big Machine Records’ collaboration with Nashville allowed Borchetta to expand the company across a new, visual platform. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“You take the craziest parts of the old TV show Dallas and smash it into the Nashville record industry, and you’ve got this show that might just end up being a huge hit,” Borchetta said.
The label executive added that he didn’t have high expectations for Nashville when he first was presented with the opportunity, but he soon spotted a chance for the label to make its screen debut.
“I love the ability to weave and intersect what’s happening right now today on the ground into the TV show,” Borchetta said.
Unlike music-rich TV programs such as Glee or Smash, which feature celebrities in cameo or guest-starring roles, Nashville producer R.J. Cutler said his show uses genuine country music artists to serve the story.
“It’s not a cameo-driven show…those are real Nashville musicians who are greatly respected there and known to people who know about country music,” Cutler told TV reporters while promoting the show in August.
Borchetta said he hoped the partnership would help his label grow even more in the industry.
“It could be the biggest hit from the last several years for ABC, or we could be done in six episodes, and that’s exciting because we have a chance to help make it a hit,” he said.
“This is our first chance to really do it on a big stage so I hope we don’t screw it up.”
Nashville is a co-production between Walt Disney Co’s ABC Studios and Lionsgate Television.

Nice promo opportunity for future singles? 
Also---so this is where Tay got her "crashing events" habit.
