Katy's "Roar" opened with a stellar 557,000 copies, putting her in 3rd place for the best-selling debut weeks (636,000 for "Right Round," 623,000 for "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together").
Britney is rumored to be releasing a new single on September 17th (according to a countdown that is on her website at britneyspears.com).
Assuming that the single is indeed released on that day (and isn't rush released because of a leak), do you think the first week sales of Britney's lead single will be able to sell more than the first week sales of Roar?
Yes, Katy's 2nd single doesn't have any of the hype Roar had and this 2nd single will destroy the success of both Roar and the second single . Britney will outperform her first week and seeing as there NEEDS to be promo for her to not be overshadowed, Britney might actually slay once again.
I see Applause having longetivity and outperforming both, though.
But honestly I would like to see Britney more on top than Katy.
