I don't expect more than 470k for BTW this week.

I think 350-400k.

+1

They BOTH will go platinum this week, don't worry bb

I like the fact that this will happen. So the drama stops, at least for a day

HIAM isn't going platinum for another 2 weeks. It's at 867K right now. So this week's sales & next.

so has any other 2011 release gone platinum (or will be going next week)?

Maybe it'll sell 133K+ this week, you never know

The first 2011 single going plat. will be one of teo options:

1. BTW
or
2. BTW and HIAM


As I said, maybe it'll sell more than 133K+

No.

I don't think so. Either BTW will go platinum this week after this week's sales or both BTW & HIAM will go platinum in the same week after this & next week's sales.

Those two singles are the first big 2011 releases.

We will break that record with a million in a week with the second single, Judas.

BTW lead is huge, i think she'll do more than 500K? Any official number?

Since BTW sold 1,000,000 through iTunes stores WW in 5 days then I'm guessing it did ~250k on Monday & Tuesday in the US since we know it sold:

-448k in the US in 3 days
-109,607 in the UK in 5 days
-~100k in Canada & Australia in 5 days
-~100k elsewhere in 5 days? (unless I'm forgetting any big markets)

and since its lead in the US has been fairly stable throughout the week then 600k may be a possibility

Grenade, Black & Yellow & Firework have all sold over 1 million in 2011 alone.

Grenade 1148000
Black & Yellow 1115000
Firework 1001000

Tonight & Hold It Against Me are close behind...

Tonight (I'm Lovin' You) 900000
Hold It Against Me 867000

I think those are the Top 5 sellers of the year so far...

i want both BTW & HIAM to go platinum in the same week .

So it would be platinum in the US in what..like 10 days?! DAMN! Not even a full two weeks!

All of the LIghts #60. Need TV promo now

53. Only Girl (In the World) - Rihanna

Honestly, 5 (6?) months later, this is doing pretty damn good.

After NBA S&M will go top 3 at least.

Gaga will sell +600k this week. She'll probably have another week like this one if she times the video release right. I've already said that she'll probably be 4x platinum by the album's release.
