yas the queen better snatch the lower hundred thousands!!!

I totally believe you. I actually think a lot of the Katycat predictions were either very conservative or cautiously optimistic. Most said 300k or so. I never saw any outlandish predictions.

Congrats to Katy on another #1 album. Hope she books the 300k.

It's incredible Prism is gonna snatch that No. 1 even when it's an indie album!

Fixed

The dedication.

No, labels and artists don't make money from singles, albums are where they make money.

because I can take off my stanglasses from time to time and think rationally
even though she's quite possibly the most famous pop star as of now (maybe Miley is a tad more famous) she's just not too polarizing, she's just a pop fixture, she doesn't generate crazy media attention, but she works damn hard for her success
240K for Katy is not low by all means when that is exactly her 2 previous albums' first week sales combined (47K+192K)
so I'm extremely happy for 240K++
300K is not out of the question

that's BS
don't try to tell me that the labels don't even see a single cent from MILLIONS of record sales...
while I know that touring and album sales is the main source of money for artists + labels, I refuse to believe that Katy's lifetime sales of over 85M singles netted her nothing...

wait so Billboard overpredict once again?

So at the end she will cross the 300k line right?

tune in tomorrow for the final #s

i thought they said 290k for final prediction but shes gonna get like 350k, how were they off by so much?

? It's not gonna increase by that much if the initial predictions were under 300k. The 68% correlates to retailers recorded, it's not directly the amount of copies it sold opening week.

Those 350k are mathematical. But if the remaining % represent more or less sales then she might be under or over the threshold. It all depends on how it did in those remaining stores I guess...

I see it ending up around 295K, maybe barely passing 300K

Lol at that horrible generic forgettable tuneless talentless homophobic b#tch. Some people got deaf and bought her single making it a huge hit and now people pray for 300k for her first week. That meow creature had more promo than Jesus himself in the dark ages. And yes my friends we live in dark ages when a singer (sorry for calling her a singer I know but that's how she presents herself) like her sells more than 40k. Gaga will tear those fireworking t#ts apart in a few days. And rightfully. May satan rape her ass humming in her ear "Alejandro" or Queen Mariah's any song so she can learn to stay on tune for once! BYE!

Are you stupid? Enjoy the warning points. And don't try to come for Queen Katy again...

Probably.

289k, final prediction.
