I actually never put that into perspective. That is a good idea!

Black Friday would be risky - a lot of artists want to capitalize on BF sales. She sells well first week and all, but there are plenty of acts that can outsell her

I think that's Nov.20. That's actually not bad.

I remember predicting CU 5 would come out between 11/18/14-12/9/14. Obvs turned into CUX1. And it came out 12/9.Let's see if my prediction for CU5 is right.

Aslong as they wait until the free trial for Apple Music over is fine by me. I could really see Carrie releasing it on Friday Nov 13th

The trial's 3 months, right? If so, it'll just be the lead single out during that time frame, I'm sure.

People have also thought about the CMAs. Some album promo from the show. October 30 could also be put into consideration.

So I'll shoot for that, November 13 & 20. My three guesses.

10/30 b/c CMAs
11/13 b/c Black Friday and normal release frame
11/20 b/c BF. Strictly.
We can't say 11/27 considering that's actually BF.

i'm so nervous, this is gonna be my first real era where i keep track of sales etc i dont want her to flop

Truly and honestly, I've been keeping serious track of her chart runs and sales since GHD1 sure i paid attention to the chart for the BA era, but not like this

AHHH she should release it 2 weeks before black friday tbh
she'd get a good BF boost then and would probs have little competition

Some members on CarrieFans pulling drama out the ass over a #1.

A couple of those posters are known trolls. You would think by now, they would figure out what a ignore button is

carriefans is honestly a mess
there's so many nice members on there, but a few are a lil over the top
her career ain't over and no one other than us cares about #1s tbh

Nobody should ever use Carrie Fans..

That's why I have only 69 posts since I joined in May. Normally, I'd be in like, the 3 or 400ish range.

Positive thought of the day: since streaming is factored into the BB200, chances are she could have a good shot at surpassing BA's first - week with both pure sales and streaming. #CU5

Really? That's amazing. I still think that if they released the album the week, or two weeks, before Black Friday weekend it'd be great marketing. They can capitalize on sales. Also an album release during that time if perfect because there's the CMAs, AMAs, CCUSAs and iHeartRadio Festival, etc. Also there's plenty of big performances she can perform at during this period such as Concert of Valor/Rememberance Day and New Years too!

My God she'll kill her competition. If she'll have any.

Black Friday + streaming + CMAs + major promo = utter obliteration.
