See, I wasn't going crazy. There's no way she was gonna do 250k with people still talking about Loud. No one really even knows about this album tbh. She should have really waited until maybe February of next year. How can you release an album while you're still on tour for the last one? Doing too much too fast.
You stans are expecting too much. If she can only do about 200K during the Christmas seasons...imagine how much she'll do during a dead month like January
As the week goes on I think she'll start to see an increase in sales due to Thanksgiving and Black Friday, so her overall sales should pass 200k. As long as she outdoes Loud I'll be pleased.
It's a little disappointing that the sales predictions aren't high, though. Like ManDown said, I guess it just wasn't meant to be. A #2 debut still looks great.
