Today, we get 1D and Taylor predictions?

I don't think so since it's Thanksgiving in US maybe tomorrow.

So we are doing this again. Round 2 start! Hmm. The sales are a bit higher than last week. What will the Black Friday sales affect on today. It would be interesting to see if Rihanna could sale that much and take her first #1 album ever despite the album is poorly put together in terms of production and sound to be a decent album for itself. 7th time is the real charm if has come true. The battle for #1 seems to be really exciting for once as Black Friday takes its toll, One Direction sales will decrease bad because if it’s high sell last week but it’s not that terrible cause It’s on par with the queen of sales T-Swift and maybe Miss RiRi. A dark Horse like Phillip Phillips could reel in as he has a good approach tunes in his album for those who like the style and the way he’s doing it. Kid Rock is just Kid Rock only his album is endorsed with that fool Mitt and selling on itunes for the first time and his home team lost in an amazing NFL game where they were leading but lost due to a bad mistake by the coach himself at the end and his halftime performance did have a pop but it’s wasn’t that huge. So Kid might sell less than what is predicted here but good enough for him. Another hit is Rod Stewart and any other Christmas albums recently old or new. Nice sales for Led Zeppelin’s live CD/DVD album and Keyshia is alright with her sales for an R&B artist but wish it was more like 80k-100k range. It’s an amazing album. Almost 50k for KC’s GH albums is impressive and Coldplay’s live 2012 album isn’t too shabby to say the least on its sales. Pitbull is Pitbull. I wonder what 3DD’s GH album sold at least 10k is good enough and I just want to see if people are still here for them. Also for Nicki’s Re-Up but doesn't’ matter since it only has 7 new songs added.

I’m just going to see the fireworks explode what is what next week.

If Red sells more than 240K Taylor will probably go #1. Her power

[JakeHouser]

SHE'S FINALLY GOING TO DO IT!!! She deserves this.

Why not? 'Speak Now' sold 255k copies on Black Friday week. 'Red' is more poppy and definitely appeals to larger audiences, so it could even pass SN holiday sales just like it did with it's debut numbers. Never doubt Queen Taylor's power.

She had a Black Friday Special that week. She doesn't have any promo lined up for this week so I doubt she'll block Rihanna. She's in Japan actually. And no Speak Now is her poppiest album.

[Lose My Breath]

Taylor could very easily jump 50%, it's an easy gift and she resonates well with mothers.

The thing is, no one can say what will happen considering Black Friday is way too unpredictable. I just think it's really premature to call this a #1 album considering they haven't even released sales for any album that was a prior release, they will do that tomorrow (I think) and we'll have a better idea of what to expect.

I really wish Rihanna lined up promo this week, X Factor or even the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade just to solidify the top spot

[Ghost]

I knew she was going to get it, she got huge airplay and she also did some good promo... and Diamonds makes her look way more credible than ever to people's eyes.

She did some good promo? LOL

[Forevermore]

If she doesn't hit #1 this will turn into the biggest mess atrl has ever witnessed.

Prediction for chance of hitting #1
50% Rihanna
40% Taylor
10% One Direction

It will be close imo.

[rihannafan]

I think they're off and Rihanna will debut with 500K+.

Cher Lloyd already filled the first spot

She's doing the UK XF this Sunday tho, so I expect her to keep on slaying my fair Great Britain.

Exactly, and people tend to forget that black friday sales will help Rihanna as well. The predictions dont account for Black Friday sales, and I know Rihanna has her album discounted. She could very well take the top spot.

I'm still rooting for Taylor and 1D to claim it though.

No. 'Unapologetic' is just NOT 'family friendly'. I can't imagine anyone buying it as a gift for holiday, especially with that cover. Taylor is going to benefit from it much more. I still see U selling only in 200-220k range, while Taylor 250k at least.

I heard "Red" did not have discounts at all. That certainly works in Rihanna´s favor.

Big Machine is so damn greedy...my God. First they blew off streaming services in hopes of getting some extra coins now this.

They are doing their job right though. Why would they discount a CD that is still selling like crazy in a full price?

The sale is only for a day or two though which means slightly more copies and possibly more money. It's a hit or miss.
