Yeah Kworb was exaggerating. There's no way Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith wouldn't cross 4m with the same success

Ed Sheeran probably will, I don't see it happening for Sam tbh.

Beyst is deffo hitting 3m by the end of the year though? Zzzrake too, more likely than not.

BruNO and Ed will get there too, no question

Nah doubtful. ST's 10th week

09/2014: 92,000 (2,802,000)

Lemonade's 10th week

27/2016: 68,000 (1,991,000)

So almost a million behind already and increasing. ST never reached 4m even with constant singles and a re-release. Lemonade needs a surprise hit (maybe Freedom) and/or AOTY Grammy boost to get to 3m.

That's why I said the same success. Maybe their success was a fluke or something or maybe they're here to stay

Sam is over unfortunately. He was always destined to be a fad.

People are being completely hypocritical when coming for Drake's sales and complimenting Beyonce's.

In US, how is Lemonade selling 1.228M to date and doing 25K~ a week now good, but Drake doing 1.313M to date and doing 15K~ weekly bad.

When Beyonce hits 1.3M she will literally also be selling 15K~ a week. She's selling at the same rate.

WW, she's at 2M and Views is at 1.9M despite her literally having global hits for 15+ years and a world tour while Hotline Bling last year became Drake's first global hit.

There's also the fact her last album did 2.3M in US, and this one will be stopping around 1.5M. Self-titled also passed 4M WW, and this one seems like it'll basically be done selling at 2.5M WW.

Hate to side with FLAKE, but you're kinda right. I have no idea why I see the Hive come so hard for his sales when they're almost on par with hers, and he has the disadvantage of having his music up on Spotify. God knows if she did too that her sales would be trailing behind his.

Plus 1.9M with 2 global smashes >>>>>>>>>> 2M with N/A

Wtf? King Midget and Fed-Ex are definitely hitting 3M with their next releases. Gremlin's last album sold like 8.5M and LEGEND is coming off the second biggest hit of the decade following his 6.5M+ selling album.

Like really, if NOplay can do it while tanking hard in the U.S., the actually gLObal acts will be fine

So is Make Me (ahh) coming the 15th or 22nd
what is the truth

[Monster Boy]

Lost In Translation is such a beautiful movie. And how vulnerable Scarlett is in this movie. I love it.

Sam Smith is a hunk now. His 25 is coming

[Kworb]

Sam will make something loud and unappealing in an attempt to evolve. Like fave, like stan.

I have no idea, but knowing how retarded her label is, I'm putting my bets on the 22nd. Despite a full minute of the song already being leaked and stills from a scene of the video being plastered all over the internet, they probably think they can keep everything under wraps for that much longer.

As if his label would let him. He's the biggest puppet we've seen in years. You know damn well he's a complete flamer who only listens to dancepop and powerballads, but in front of a camera he'll be the opposite because they've conditioned him for pandering.

[ChandlerBing]

Bruno's next album will sell 7m+. He is just getting started, a smart guy.

Award Show boosts are done.

Beyonce performed the whole self-titled at VMA's, and it sold like 10K more. Her Superbowl boosts were like 5K.

GRAMMYs boosts are like barely 50K now. (Adele being the anomaly because 21 was already selling ungodly amounts)

And ofcourse AMAs, BET Awards, etc aren't shifting albums.

[Artemisia]

stop coming for beyonce, ihype smh

Love Bey. Just pointing out her fans have been hypocrites towards Drake, and that her Superbowl/VMAs boosts didn't do anything so it's not like GRAMMYs would do anything.

Taylor Swift’s 1989 returns to the top 10 with a 20-8 gain (43,000 units; up 91 percent and 31,000 sales; up 109 percent). Swift opened the Grammy Awards with a performance of the 1989 single “Out of the Woods,” while 1989 itself won two awards, including album of the year.

Wow you're right, I didn't know her boost was so weak.
