Just some radio stuff now, I think.
She was also the surprise guest on Kelly & Michael, but I'm not sure when that'll be aired.

Shading people for buying albums. Not surprised
Other retailers mean less than nothing. Her best bet is the increase on Itunes sales.

Nice hopefully the rest of the merchant s will add up to at least 220 k in sales or places like Wal-Mart will have better than expected weekend sales.

347,000 must have come from other stores. This represents 347,000 / 1,208,000 = 28.7%.
For Red:
iTunes = 38.5%
Target = 32.8%
Other = 28.7 %
if 28.7 % of the total sales of 1989 have not been considered yet in the projections, then you have:
Total sales = 600,000 + 410,000 + Other sales
But other sales = 28.7% of Total Sales so:
Total sales = 600,000 + 410,000 + 28.7% x Total sales
Total sales - 28.7% x Total sales = 1,010,000
71.3% x Total sales = 1,010,000
Total sales = 1,416,550 units
Sorry! Don't mind the algebra, but based on Reds statistics and the fact that Other sales besides Target and iTune sales were 28.7%, then, if the same ratios or percentages hold up, 1989 could sell 1.4 million copies. The only problem that may exist is if other markets have drastically declined in comparison to Target and itunes.

Sorry! If I knew you were going to do the same analysis; I would have let you do it. But anyways, I hope the ratios hold up.

Its a legit record, though. And a good one to assess how much grip one megastar can have on music market during the week,

Best Buy, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Costco, Starbucks?

Google Play maybe will bring something to the table too

That's not even what he said and I'd suggest you tone it down and stop typing in all-caps before you get warned.
