These are good numbers but it's severely underwhelming for him - a huge underperformance no matter how you look at it.
And the fact that predictions fell each and every time they were released really does not bode well for longevity of this album. And before RobynYoBank comes running in saying My World(s) had tons of longevity, it's not even close to the same situation anymore. Everyone knows he has a record out and most people that would be interested are gonna pick it up in the first few weeks.
this opening numbers are VERY disappointing.Especially because almost all bieber fans thought he's going to open with 700k + or even with 1 million +
and he's at his peak.I expected way bigger numbers
Kind of ironic that one of ATRLs faves still has not managed to break 300k first week after being almost a decade in the biz. And now they are on Justin`s case?
This isn't as bad as it was with Katy Perry and when industry sales predictions for Teenage Dream were 500K and it only sold 198K with 2 #1 singles before the album release.

Ya i expected way more tbh. Atleast 450k+ cause it seriously got the best promo possible and it
was hyped till no end. Still, cant complain its amazing and a #1 for him.
Lets not forget about his longevity, im sure it will end up selling just as much as MW2.0 if not, more.
Not worried at all
