wait so 300k outside of US? Kinda disappointing don't you think?
Not in the slightest. No other R&B album opened bigger. He only promoted in US + UK + Germany and went gold first-week in each of those countries (as well as Australia + Brazil + Canada.)
Speaking of T Swift, all the pop songs she keeps releasing as singles are not exactly selling the album worldwide http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums.htm
