Me neither. Thirty million would have been blockbuster numbers at the height of the industry, there's no way it's happening now. Those just aren't reasonable expectations to place on any artist in today's market, no matter how huge.

People are getting wayyyy too ahead of themselves.

I think his mentality is to aim astronomically high so that even if he falls way short, it will still be a success.

Oh, and to answer this question, the last album to do 30m+ was "1" back in 2000.

Then by your logic, Teenage Dream's opening numbers were still a success?

Thirty million? I don't know, i'm not familiar with record sales figures but here's how i see it...

Imo, BTW has the potential to sale double that of TF, which was 10 million, no? (With these sales i'm specifically referrfing to markets that she's already established in)...

I think a large part of the equation lies in the projected sales for areas they're trying to expand her presence in such as India and Russia. I don't have the slightest clue as to how albums sell in either country so i can't begin to make a prediction.

Her current desireability + massive marketing plan + new markets = what could approach 30 million (mid 20's)

And she might refer to artists like Kelly Clarkson or Rihanna that go very artistric but their albums underperform and the label obligates them to make a more commercial, less acclaimed album.

No, but it was Troy Carter's speaking. She'll snatch your fave's wigs though, don't worry.

think in the music industry, something has happened where the producers have begun to think or believe--or the industry has begun to think or believe--that the producer makes the hits. This is the most dangerous thing that has happened to this business. Because it takes the credibility away from the singer and from the artist

that's the true tea righ there
