Considering she's already at 5 million after 7 months when BTW has barely scrapped the 6 million mark after being out for 2 years says something.
It will outsell BTW when it is all said and done. Whether new singles smash or not.

Sorry but I don't think so, Red is not different than any of her previous albums when it comes to international success, whatever she sells WW, she does it in the first three months after the album's release and then her sales start to fall pretty quickly, the only difference with this era is the extra sales from the UK, her album has sold a little more than 300K there and is certified platinum and both of her first two singles have sold between 500-600k which is pretty good but that's it, 22 flopped hard there & WW and I am not seeing her album hitting 600k any time soon looking at the overall state of the UK sales right now. The countries that you are saying she smashed in are the same countries that she smashed with her previous albums like NZ, Australia, Ireland and Japan, her sales are very weak in a lot of countries in Europe which contribute to a lot of artists' albums' sales WW.
Even her very successful hit in the US IKYWT performed moderately WW.
