Huh? it sold 700+k in the first week WW IIRC

Actually Avril isnt just a passing fad there. Alice charted at #4 on their singles chart. She's also the biggest Western artist to ever release in China.

Not going to happen.

I say 500,000-600,000 if even that.

And I just can't at someone writing down on TBDT's wiki page that it went Diamond in Japan. Japan doesn't have a "Diamond" certification, it has a "Million" certification for those albums that have sold 1 million.

Avril is not going to open with 1 million, lol.

If anything, 500k WW, which is ****ING AMAZING.

Don't worry, it's not ur fave, he cant even reach the half of that

People with lots of good singles on their albums.

great aswer!

Wait ,wait ,wait... doesn't Avril need an album first?

Get in the studio Avril!

Look it up, she announced in her new interview that the album is ready for release now.

I think that we shouldn't talk that much is good that the mayority here knows how huge she is and stuff BUT
let's not be 'ohh yeahh for sure she will be #1', 'she will be the biggest comeback ever' blah blah because maybe the more we get 'sure' the more we put her on risk to fail

and I totally agree with the ones they where comparing to Christina

when 'NMT' of christina came out it starts to do amazing everything great! and fans begin to bitch and get sure of 'ohhh it's def gonna debut at #1' blah blah and then suddenly look how everything end,
with her also the lady gaga thing didn't help at all we here more of how much she "copy" gaga than her work with Avril fortunatly there is not a situation like that and hopefully we don't get any bad publicity like that one.

but let's not talk and let's not celebrate victory until we get what we want, when the singles and album is at #1 and everything is doing good then we can **** on everyone and said whatever the **** we want! but at this point NO.

but glad too read many amazings comments that ofcourse I totally agree!

AVRIL ROCKS!!!!

Wow, did it chart #4 on the Oricon?

I'm talking strictly Japan, not China.

Yes it did ^^

Ugh...all this money it takes to make (*coughs*) music. just have the artist, one good writer, and one good producer. Agree on what direction you all want to go in and just let the CREATIVITY flow. As for promotion, just IDK, have a hit that speaks to people. It should be about the music, not the artist.

Yeah I know. Always nice to hope though. :P

I still see her doing really well. Hopefully the 4 years since her last album will help her rather than work against her.

Avril won't dissapoint.
