why do you guys care so much about the record? I mean it's 2012, 1.3 million now would easily be 2 million in the 2000 economy so it doesn't really matter if it's technically broken or not
That prediction was made BEFORE the album was even released and Red sold 500K+ on its first DAY.
No, they predicted her to sell 750-800k actually. That was about a month before the album release though. The album was front-loaded by two #1 singles after all.

Doesn't matter how much it would be in 2000.
The point is that if she sells less than Oops! did, the record remains unbroken. End of discussion.
