I expected 300k

It's such a lame cuz the album has so much potentials hits and even I hate BBP i must recognize tht it has done so great, so I as expecting better sales , but I guess they'll do great all the ways!!!

BEP's sales are so disappointing. Let's hope they have a good amount of longevity. "I Gotta Feeling" is the type of song that sells albums.

I don't think that will be BEP's first week sales, the album was just released yesterday

200K roughly is pretty good, they just better get that #1

what the hell happened?

it's not THAT bad tho, it's 2009 ..at least they are selling with their singles

HDD does a good job at predicting album sales. That is roughly what they are going to sell. Maybe a little higher, maybe a little lower.

THEY'LL SELL MORE

It's BEP's own fault. That's what happens when you wait too long to release the album after releasing the first single. Most of the sales showed up in the form of BBP.

It doesn't matter what they debut with. It matters with their longevity.

There are many examples of artists who don't debut with 500k and sell like 4 million albums.

^ We know the album is goona sell a LOT, but it should debut with 300k + sales

Not many albums sell like that any more though. Like maybe 10 artists will debut with more than 300,000 a year ... any more.

I don't think that's the case. It's a perfect time and the single is peaking.

I think it's time to move past album sales anyway. To me, as long as an album ends up platinum it's fine. As long as they have memorable, well-performing singles, that's all that matters in today's industry.

I smell Tibbits already cooking early excuses for Aguilera's upcoming flop.

Stop being a troll. This applies to most artists. Britney's only at 1.5 million anyway. Plus, I will have no pity for Aguilera anymore. If she can't deliver this time, then she's a stupid *****.
