No way she's doing over 500K after the FF era. 300K-350K is a safe bet. |
Are we talking about the single? Or the album?
Single, it'd kind of be overestimating. But Britney is a very neutral artist to a lot of people, if my experience tells me anything. If it isn't girly or gay, she could pull in a lot of casual buyers and not just females and the few die hards who will actually purchase. She has re-written the female digital opening with every lead single in the digital era. Not to say she will challenge Taylor's record, but she could break 411k which nobody expected for "HIAM" which didn't have any hype at all. It wasn't even hinted about until early December, then we got the engagement stuff for a while, then suddenly the demo leaked and then the single came out in an explosive manner off of nothing but her name and decent reception of the song.
If we're talking album, I think 500k could be in reach. As noted, she came back from 2005-08 with 505k and an average of close to 200k albums per week during the Holidays.
