At least Adele is no longer in the top 5.

I don't understand HITS. Their early reports said that Justin was exceeding expectations. How did he exceed expectations with only 374k? But then again, they and Billboard were projecting 400-500k.

These numbers would be good under any other circumstances, but these are shocking numbers to me. And we'll have to see if Justin will have longevity. He was the new kid on the block and that's why he had longevity last time.

Cuz they used to forget including he has weekend-freefalling effect.

congrats justin.

That's it?How do the people with foolish expectations of him doing 1 million+ LOOK right now?
Even I was expecting it to be ATLEAST 400k+.But anyways,those numbers aren't really bad.US + UK = 412k.I'm curious to know WW sales now! Oh,and the second week sales too.

[HausOfA-M]

He already has 4 number one albums? Well, that is pretty impressive

[LP54]

I'm shocked. I thought these numbers would be better.

It seems like the younger audiences don't really buy albums. They buy more singles (if any at all). Adele is lucky that she fits in with all age groups because older people tend to still go out and buy the album.

My prediction of 550k was off.

Still, congrats.

[Sporefan]

I predicted 800k+,and i don't even like him


Yes,the numbers are good,but those numbers are very disappointing for someone like Bieber.

You should know the sales are with $4.99 discount on Amazon.

She's #6, possibly #5 on Billboard. She's just a couple hundred behind Usher. We'll see...

Seems like Bieber and his fans aren't as massive as the media and Bieber's team would have you to believe.
