REASONS TO BELIEVE: To get the total impact of Bieber fever in the summer of 2012, you need some stats beyond the 373k debut of Believe—and we’ve got ’em for you, girls and boys. The Canadian wunderkind’s new LP, which is it the biggest bow of 2012 thus far, is Bieber’s fourth #1 debut and his biggest sales week yet. His previous five albums have sold more than 8 million in the U.S. and 15 million worldwide. Bieber has already sold 3 million tracks leading up to the new LP’s release, giving him an album plus TEA total of just under 700k. It all adds up to superstar-level firepower, and the kid is just getting started. (6/27a)

well TD outsold BTW, she also sold out stadiums and well an award is an award you can discredit her if you like. she's one of forbes' top earning musician, five #1 singles from one album ,spent 69 weeks on top 10 on billboard. i could go on. i know you will ignore this, you all do.


anyway, congrats justin, i projected 700-750k, double than what he really did. but

No, it didn't.
TD = 4.9M
BTW = 6M+ reported sales (8M if you count official sources, but let's not get there)


Also, Gaga ranked higher than Katy on Forbes' list, and I just love how you're talking about singles' achievements, even though you said they weren't her only ones, and i didn't know Wal-Mart parking lots were considered Stadiums.

And btw, 5 Grammys > All the KCA's in the world

Now that's underwhelming.

Agreed.

[Bandrew]

i really expected 600K

[Rated R]

I can't wait to see 2nd week sales

[ryanme]

Bieber, I beilive you caon do this..
you are great talent....

[FuckTheMorning]

374k only ? The number is totally disappointing. It underperformed.
Honestly, judging from :

1.the hypes created by his delusional fanbase on Twitter
2.number of tweets linking to the album
3.number of retweets praising the album
4.TV-performances and appearances as part of promotion
5. Boyfriend's opening sales

i was definitely expecting AT LEAST 650k.

He's taking his time to peak slowly, but surely. The Bieber fever has definitely cooled off.

It's official. Justin Bieber's Believe has sold 374,000 in its first week according to Nielsen SoundScan, garnering the 18-year-old his fourth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. That's the most chart-toppers for any act in the two-and-a-half-year span since Bieber made his chart debut in December 2009.

False. Miley Cyrus did it in 2 years and 5 months with Hannah Montana, Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus, Breakout, and Hannah Montana: The Movie.

Born This Way: 5.7M
