Let me ask an honest question. Do you seriously, SERIOUSLY, think S&M is going to keep Judas off #1?

Originally posted by Darren-5-08

Even still, under those numbers, I think Judas is looking at more than 480k anyway...

Meh. There was at least one Britney stan who predicted TTWE to blow BTW's success out of the water, everyone stanbase has some.

And now predictions are skewed because everyone thought Judas was going to have a full week of sales instead of having its release date rushed up at the last minute.

As far as I remember 0.5588 > 0.5569... Is this a glitch?

It means pop bars arent updated yet

I agree


The bold is what some people should focus on, I for one had my predictions for Judas for top 5(tho its sliming now)

Yes, I expect(ed) Judas to have 400K first week sales if released on Tuesday, and around ~35M AI, which would be enough for a #1 debut, imo.

Well that was an actual prediction, its not like we got it out of the blue you know.

That's not what they said before its release, almost all of them were certain that 'Judas' had enough hype to have massive popbars.

While Judas obviously doesn't have the hype of BTW, I don't blame some of the less...um...chart-savvy stans for thinking it had a chance of debuting at #1 with only a few days of sales. Billboard thought the speculation had enough validity to write an article about it, after all.

As for your question, no. Even if Judas had sold 400k, it wouldn't have had enough AI. If Interscope really cared about a #1 debut that much (I'm not convinced they do), their best bet would've been to release Judas next Monday. ET and S&M are both falling and I think by next week Judas would've been able to overtake them by sales alone.

As it stands now, if Judas hits #1, I don't expect it to happen until May.

I can find
-Tons of Britney fans that thought 400k first week was in the bag
-Tons of Katy fans that thought the 800k was plausible in album sales first week
-Tons of Rihanna fans that thought Only Girl was going #1 without the discount
-Tons of All stanbases rejoicing that BTW was going to be blocked by E.T. in its 6th week :
etc etc

Even billboard thought that Judas was going to challenge two versions of S&M and E.T. for the #1. Theres no problem in predicting, those that are wrong realize it in the end.

I hate when people use predictions against people Thanks for this.

I also remember Katy Stans saying ET would stay Number 1 for a month at least and no one could dethrone it.

Receipts? We never said that, not even Sammi teh troll
Actually I never thought it was going to snatch more than two weeks at #1.

This just proves how delusional some fans are of their favorite female pop singer.

Of people who made first-week sales predictions based on only having the weekend to sell and having the release pushed up at the last minute when 04/19 had been advertised everywhere?

Alright, let's see em.

Sweetie, if weekend sales are anything to go by, they are the biggest. Judas has decreased. If released Tuesday, her explosive start would have had to exceed 2x that of her start on the busiest period of the week for a stan projected #1 debut.
