"Magna Carta's" bow is bigger than industry sources had forecast a week ago. Initially, the day before it hit retailers on July 9, the album was heading for a possible debut in the range of 350,000 to 400,000. Two days later, its forecast jumped to 450,000 to 500,000. And finally, by Friday (July 12), the range was fine-tuned to 475,000 to 500,000.
Antiqua predictions going from 400K+ to 100K+ instead.
100k for "Queen of Pop" fRih is abysmal. I can't at NVAY rhats celebrating such underwhelming numbers.
They're more likely celebrating the fact that it's going #1 moreso than the numbers, since she's never been frontloaded in the first place. But nice try.
