Justin, 5SOS, 1D & Ariana slaying .
Look at My World 2.0, his best album and the best album of 2010. Pop perfection. I miss that Justin, he needs to get back to his pop roots and dominate the charts again

If Meghan outsells Ke$ha, it'd be the biggest Pop-Girl debut since when?

Gaga and Katy's debut numbers  I think they both sold less than 50k first week right ?  Gaga didn't even have a top 40 hit yet I believe, so it's pretty impressive.

The Fame did 24,000 in the first week, and Just Dance was at #27 (up 22 spots) the same week TF debuted.
One of the Boys did 47,000 in the first week, and I Kissed A Girl was at #1 (up 1 spot) the same week OotB debuted.
