From Billboard:

Justin Bieber's "Believe" album is on course to net the singer his best sales week yet -- and the biggest debut of the year.

Industry sources suggest that the set, which came out today (June 19), may sell between 400,000 to 500,000 copies by the end of the tracking period on June 24. (However, it's still very early in the week, so those sales projections will change on a daily basis.)

If "Believe" does sell in the 400,000 to 500,000 range, that would easily secure Bieber his largest sales frame yet. His highest week thus far came when "My World 2.0" sold 291,000 in its second week on the chart in April, 2010.

"Believe" could also land the largest debut this year for an album. It would surpass the start of Madonna's "MDNA," which launched with 359,000 according to Nielsen SoundScan. (The best sales frame overall in 2012 was registered by Adele's "21" in the wake of her multiple Grammy Awards wins in February. It sold 730,000 in the week after the Grammy show.)

"Believe" will most certainly open at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart next week. If it does, it will be his fourth chart-topping set, following "My World 2.0," "Never Say Never: The Remixes" (EP) and "Under the Mistletoe."

The final sales figures for "Believe" will be released on Wednesday, June 27.

And all these gurls saying it would sell over 600k

I would have thought the tween girls would have bought more than that

About what I was expecting. Good #.

... it could do more though, it hasn't even been a day.

I thought it would be way more. But congrats

I only just saw this!
Oh my ****ing god. What a beast

400-500k were my predictions. I think it will sell closer to 475k.

It still can.

And all he had to do was yell at his fans.

Where's that million, Bieber stans?

But congratulations to him; I predicted 500-600k which is still not out of his reach.

That's around the amount i was predicting.

The fact that some people thought he was gonna do 1 million.

Great sales though.

Not even a full day

he still has the rest of the week

You were right all along Cap10.

I legitimately thought it would do like 800k. Solid numbers, nonetheless.

Fans must be dissapointed. They thought that he was going to top Gaga's +1.000.000
Laughing now

I admit I expected more but that's actually pretty amazing plus his albums have longevity, not worried at all

Did you not read the article
These are early projections, things can still change.

But this projection isn't even based on sales data.

I think it'll definitely go up.

And it's not like a 450k debut is bad. Look at all the pop girls.
