Wait though.What makes y'all think this album will have longevity? Just because it's selling less doesn't mean it won't be front-loaded,it could be more front-loaded than BTW for all we know..considering she's having an 80% drop in the U.S INSPITE of there not being any overly discounted sales as was the case with BTW,and not to mention a major promo performance just before the beginning of the new tracking week.2nd week and it's already doing PRISM 5th week sales,and I don't expect the situation to be any different WW since she's not even promoting anywhere else.
This album won't sell well in the long-run unless some miracle happens.It'll depend majorly on first week but unfortunately,there's no extra-ordinarily big first week this time.
Her US numbers were disappointing, the WW numbers are fine.
