If everyone handled their eras like her they'd be charting forever.

Prism will sell 1.8 million in the US, and 800k ww. She'll release another album in early summer of 2015

Seriously, who is going to watch the movie when you don't stan for her?
People that went to the movies probably already had the album, stop that excuse.

I'm screaming at people acting like 6 million copies was low, Katy has just proven that it was able to smash with singles and sell her album, it had a big longevity.

Katy almost doubled the sales of OOTB, she is getting bigger.

Both of Katy's previous lead singles were very superficial, sexual songs that seemed more like gimmicks than album sellers.

Roar is "deeper" and seems more like the kind of track that would push certain demographics to invest I'm Katy as an artist beyond her singles.

Debuting with over 1m and then barely scrapping 2x Platinum is something else really

Can't wait for Empress Avril to save the music industry with #RockNRoll.

No, a lot of people flop after 2/3 singles and she still smashed with the other singles and it obviously helped the album.

lmao. "Roar" is the same as her other previous lead singles. I don't see how it can sway anyone to do anything other than punch over to iTunes and spend the $1.29

i think he meant the album will outsell 70% of rihanna's albums (one on one). at least i hope.

Prism is going to outsell every Rihanna album sans GGGB and LOUD. That's 5/7, a.k.a. 70% of her discography. If you really think it will sell less than 3.5M.
Smash singles sell Katy's albums, and that's exactly what she's getting Right Now.

Just because a movie doesn't do well at the box office doesn't automatically mean it's 'just for stans.'

BTW sold the same amount (if not more) of TD with 2 flop singles, well Y&I was just local.

The lyrics and the sound are too childish for that.

Loud sold 6m as well, for less time and less promo. How are you going to explain that? I thought that Rih can't sell album to save her life.

Now sis we know you aren't that good with numbers

not ariana giving us back to basics. legend always ahead of her time.

OKAY. Yeah I thought you meant 70% as in 70% - not as in like the Top 30% tier of Rihanna's album releases.

I think it will hit just shy of 4M with 1.8 WW.

I never said she couldn't sell albums.

Not really though, it has a far more universal message than 'lets be lesbian for fun lolz' and 'Cali girls are so cool please stare at my **** lolz'. Of course it's just a compilation of lyrical cliches and just as superficial, but, ironically, it's a lot more mature on the surface. And pop audiences are not that discerning if its catchy.
