Honest answer: I'm not sure. The debut is respectable considering her standards. If this had been a regular entrance into a new Britney era, huge promo, great video, performances, etc. and she did 330k i would say flop so yeah. I think by 2008 it should be platinum. I mean people will buy this album, curiosity or not. But other than that I'm not too sure how far it'll go in the US. As for the WW sales I have high hopes it'll do a Madonna. Sell a measly 1.7M in the US, and then over 7M more outside which I would be very happy about that.
If they release "Piece of Me" now it would have short life on the US charts. Internationally they will LOVE it. So I say while it's doing so-so in US, and big WW, release the 3rd single in the US while "POM" is still doing good so sales would be rising together like that. of course that third should be "BTI" or "Radar", preferable "BTI" b/c I think that would branch out to a majority than "Radar" since it's a lot more pop/dance which obviously isn't the big thing right now. She needs something that is still a little urban.
