Your math is kinda bad.

If she sells 80k every 3 hours, in one day, she'd sell 640k. That's ONE day.

640k × 3 days = 1.92 million

So, BEYONCE will sell 1.92 million copies in 3 days, exclusively at iTunes!

So how do you explain that in the US (the only market where we got sales' info) she is outselling them all on a Friday (when sales are lower according to you) and with only 3 days of sales?

Drag them! She wouldn't be #1 even with those 80k in 3 hours... wait....

She is slated to debut at #1 in the US with only 3 days of sales with an iTunes exclusive, did you not read the thread AT ALL?

There's no way for you to know this. Your statement might be true for a just released front loaded album, but most albums out right now have been out prior to this week. There's no reason to believe their monday/tuesday sales are drastically higher than their other days. For all you know, the bulk of albums which aren't NEW releases get sales bump during the weekend.

Not dragging... just pointing out the facts.

Beyonce will sell around 200k which will easily hand her a #1 over Garth Brooks (thank God).

Plus, this album is soooooooo much better than 4!

[Glam]

I might be in the minority but I liked 4 better, but still this deserves to go #1.

[ElectricFrancis]

I think this will open arround 320k

well to be #1 this week you only need to sell 150k albums its not like that is a big number to beat, and there is no other artist releasing a new album this week.

You did not read the question, Someone explain why she is slaying so hard? No promo, #1 in 100+ countries with no physical copies and no available singles. I thought she was a local flop?

It is if you only have 3 days to sell that much with an iTunes exclusive album It's not rocket science.

we are only talking about new albums just released, not an album that has been out for a week or 13.

I don't understand your point, you were saying she wouldn't be #1 because of the other albums and now you're saying she'll be #1 because there are no new albums out? Which is it?

Then you really don't make any sense since the albums in the top 10 or that were predicted to be in the top 10 released were pretty much a week or older releases, still selling well. So again: you have no way to know how those type of album sell.

any megasuperstar artist should be able to sell 150k in 3 days with itunes only with a new relased album with all buzz an album like beyonce is getting, if they cant then they should not be called a superstar and should go and ask a real superstar if they can open for them.

Girl.
Not in this musical climate when you have Katy, Miley and Gaga all selling less than 290k in 7 days with itunes, amazon, target, walmart ETC! By your standards then there are no superstars left except Beyonce.

Britney is a megastar and look at her

And there is NO megastar except for Bey, Adele, (maybe Gaga MAYBE) who can pull 150K or more in 3 days. Those 3 are not the only megasuperstars alive today.

You are so angry for no reason. Just leave the thread

I'm going to take this as a compliment to Bey and just scoot on out of this thread.
