She''s definitely not doing 300K

But 800K? I say something close to 650K - 700K, the same as Gaga

No.

No. Didn't her team see what happened to "Teenage Dream" for releasing it too late?

Katy Perry is on Red Hill, Island, Columbia and Capitol. Gaga is on other (better) labels, and her team isn't playing this era.

Apples and oranges.

Katy Perry's extended release date = decline in anticipation

Gaga's extended release date = skyrocketing anticipation


Well, i'm just as incapable at predicting the future as everyone else, but i'd put my money on first week sales eclipsing the one million mark, but not by much. Of course this is assuming that her already amazing promo will only become more intense as the date nears, and will include high profile T.V appearances. I'm also assuming that Judas will live up to the hype...

Born This Way: 650-1,000k
Femme Fatale: 500-700k

Depends on how well she promotes the album, if Judas smashes as hard as it's supposed to, and the music video for Born This Way. If the Promo Singles are good, it would probably increase her sales by a lot.

At the end it all comes down to how well she promotes it. I picked the third option. I wouldn't be surprised to see 1M+, BUT I predict maybe 750k minimum for US.

WW - 1M easily.
