I don't get it? How can people like Demi and Selena open with 100k-110k numbers when they were at like... one 2x-platinum hit at that time and Ariana's hardly passing them by 60k when she had 'Problem' which was bigger than both Heart Attack and Come & Get it, 'Break Free' which is shaping up to become a HA/CAGI-sized hit, 'Bang Bang' - the huge single with major featured artists and couple of promotional singles, one which went straight to #1 on iTunes too. Ugh things don't seem to add up for me.

Good for Ari outdoing projections!

And I'm satisfied with Bey's sales. Of course more would've been awesome but I can't complain. She's ready 2x platinum.

Third biggest female debut of the year, only behind Miranda and Lana.

No, you're pushing it. Ariana doesn't even have a gold album and she has only two platinum singles.

LMAO at you comparing My Everything to 21. There are no more hits on this album and she has already promoted everywhere. It will probably struggle going gold.



Yeah, that isn't gonna happen either.

[KillingYourCareer]

That's 102k less than what I would've predicted until two weeks ago. Let's pray for longevity.

[Mark Rih]

Now the key is the longevity. Go Ariana!

[MusicTalker]

Wait, no female has opened with 200K in 2014 yet?

Taylor will completely obliterate.

Doesn't make sense tbh, I agree with you. I hope that Nicki doesnt go trough something similar (sales wise)

[UnusualBoy]

Ariana's sales are meh, three top 10 singles and not even 200k? It is safe to say that she is a single artist ATM.

Her projections were like 200k, she didn't outdo sorry

[Slayonce]

Sam and Beyoncé.
Ariana's sales are a bit low if we consider the circumstances.

[Zaynsus]

SLAY ARIANA !!!!!

Oh, and Yours Truly is back at #35.

[Almighty Gaga]

Not bad, Ariana, not bad.

[Rentboy]

somebody dared actually compare Arianas album to 21?

thats ATRL permaban worthy tbh

[Guero]

Album sales have been horrid this whole year - not surprising.

At 16, Miley's album opened with 400k and was on its way to double platinum before she released an EP that ended up selling just as much and produced a massive single that has sold 6 million downloads + her tour was averaging $1 million per show.

True. Also not enough to be a major pop girl yet.

[Starkboy]

Only 15k away from being the biggest female debut of the year. Yet she's "flopping".
Maybe once your faves flop/undeperform, atrl will realize sales are the pits, predictable.

They weren't official. Official predictions were 150-170k, the ones posted once the album was out.
Keep trying tho!
