It's the album after/at her peak, so I assumed it would do at least 5m especially after how big Roar and Dark Horse were!
it will don't worry
by next Christmas it will have sold 4M
but the more pressing issue is: will CHARTOP reach 2M* WW
*not interested in shipments which the label will have to buy back eventually when the retailers realize no one is buying the album
oh and literally no one is selling 5M these days
Eminem who is a huge album seller just crossed the 4M mark recently
1D is at like 3.5-3.8M with their last two albums
so don't set unrealistic objectives for Katy so you can later drag her
it's very transparent and desperate
Here's the thing, Lady Gaga is on a 360 deal, Katy Perry is not
=> Gaga's dates will always be reported sold out even if they weren't ( and there's evidence for that in her boxoffice thread by her stans) whereas Katy's shows will always be reported correctly as not sold out, cause in fact 80% of the concerts are not sold out anywhere you go in the world
it just looks better if they say that a show was 100% sold out, even though there were a couple of seats still available
a friend of mine works in the biggest arena here in Budapest and he told me he hasn't seen a single sold out show in the past 3 years. There are ALWAYS some tickets left.
I went to Gaga's monster ball when she was here. The date was reported sold out, but I swear there were easily 100 seats still available.I'm not saying there is no such thing as a sold out show, I'm just saying the concept of a sold out show is meaningless. Cause they can easily readjust the seats and the availability of tickets anytime they please.
Even if she has yet to release all the dates, I doubt she will book Stadium of France or Twickenham Stadium, not with those receipts Total 149,925 / 169,614 (88.3%)

I'm not talking about Europe. It's Katy's weakest touring market.
) and Stromae (both dates 
) are sold out
