Yeah it will be a nail biter. I am a huge 1D fan.....but since they have 0 radio presence right now and have had no promo this week (skipped the ama's) they could easily see a very large drop.

I have yet to see any predictions for next week.

They sold 539k last week so there is obviously acknowledgement there is a new disc and there will be adverts at the retailers, I'm sure.

I doubt it will be a steep decline since this is the best time of year for music sales, it's a new release and it's a high prioritized act with younger girls which typically is a group that purchases music. (1D, Taylor Swift, Beiber)

You are more optimistic (or pessimistic depending on the perspective) than I am lol.



...if they do hold on to #1 this forum will be AMAZING. We will have to see.

I'm not trying to be optimistic or pessimistic, really.

Lots of albums see increases on the week of Thanksgiving and I don't think it's unlikely for them to keep from dropping below 50% of last week considering.

Where are 1D and Taylor sells ??? She can still be blocked :S

[Deemy]

1D is dropping at least 55%. Their sales are heavily front loaded.

Come on parents. When Black Friday comes, go buy Red and Take Me Home for your teenage daughters.

How is this in need of a report? He's just urging people to buy those acclaimed albums.

There isn't really any relevant history to back up a drop prediction imo. With black friday and all I am not even going to trying throwing out exact predictions. It could be anywhere between a 45%-65% drop imo. A lot of it depends on whether its featured in any Black Friday sales and whether or not people see them as a safe, easy gift choice.

Last week was the fangirls. This week their mothers.

They dropped 70% last time but it was their first album and it wasn't Black Friday weekend.

With a 55% drop they'll do 242k.

You're exactly right, this will be the safe gift choice for young girls for Christmas along with Taylor Swift so I see both this album and that one doing really well.

If there is a sale at a large retailer you could see a very small drop, too.

243K AT MOST. I think they will drop harder. I say 60%. They did 70% w/ their first album its Black Friday plus other competition I think 60 is a good drop considering their sales week prior. Even Taylor had a big drop her second week.

She dropped 70% because of how high her numbers were but Taylor will see an increase this next chart I can almost guarantee.

Yeah and 1D will do the same. 65-72% is pretty much always the standard for 2nd week drops. I see Taylor selling anywhere from 190-230K.

Well, I wouldn't say she's #1 just yet. Black Friday will disrupt some things.

Diamonds really had me fooled, I bought the album and... Diamonds>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Unapolgetic

And this is off topic.

1D is not gonna outsell Rih or even Taylor.
