Femme Fatale is #17 on pre-orders.  Is that good, bad, average?  I want to get an idea of how pre-orders work in advance of BTW.

 Well part of the reason TTWE fell was because each pre-order was a download of the song, so it was clear more people were getting the song because of the pre-order and not just buying it by itself.
I think its a little underwhelming, I cant remember. Loud went to #5 pre-orders, and then around the time it was gonna be released went back into the Top 10. It really depends. For pop artists, you want their pre-orders to be high, but Urban artists always get the physical sales.
