YOUR TOP 15: Taylor Swift continues to be a retail monolith in her second week at #1; assuming a 75% or so decline, Tay Tay will descend from the stratospheric to the merely gigantic. Meanwhile, a number of last night’s CMA winners and performers scoot their boots into the Top 15. Here’s how it looks headed into the weekend.

Taylor Swift (Big Machine) 385-410k
Now 52 (NOW) 65-70k
Jason Aldean (Broken Bow) 30-35k
*Calvin Harris (Columbia) 30-35k
Barbra Streisand (Columbia) 30-35k
Sam Hunt (MCA Nashville) 27-30k
Florida Georgia Line (Republic Nashville) 27-30k
Sam Smith (Capitol) 24-27k
*Bette Midler (Atlantic) 21-24k
Blake Shelton (Warner Bros. Nashville) 21-24k
Miranda Lambert (RCA Nashville) 19-22k
Neil Diamond (Capitol) 19-22k
Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga (Columbia/Interscope) 19-22k
Slipknot (Roadrunner) 18-21k
Brantley Gilbert (Valory) 18-21k

*Debuts

In other news, the Democratic party had a fairly underwhelming week at retail, but is very excited about its 2016 release. (11/6p)

UR NEW RELEASES: Who wants to go up against Taylor Swift in her second week? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Well, it’s understandable—the Big Machine megastar’s sophomore frame is likely to be in the 300-350k range, according to early reads, guaranteeing her another week at #1 and giving her a larger total than all but a couple of the year’s debuts. However, we do see (in addition to the new one from EDM popularizer Calvin Harris) new releases or reissues by a klatch of classic-rock and pop icons, which will surely be stuffing stockings over the coming Yuletide.
Here are this week’s key debuts:

Calvin Harris (Columbia) 30-35k
Bette Midler (Atlantic) 23-26k
Teyana Taylor (Def Jam) 14-16k
Paul McCartney & Wings Venus & Mars (Hear Music) 11-13k
The Doobie Brothers (Sony Music Nashville) 11-13k
Jake Miller (Warner Bros.) 10-12k
The Vamps (Island) 10-12k
Bob Dylan The Basement Tapes Complete (Columbia) 10-12k
Paul McCartney & Wings Wings at the Speed of Sound (Hear Music) 9-11k
Neil Young (Reprise) 7-9k
Bob Dylan The Basement Tapes Raw (Columbia) 6-8k

In other news, Sinead O'Connor's Vatican Holiday Christmas album (produced by Michael Schimmel) is said to feature some of the angriest caroling ever. (11/5a)

Where is Luke Bryan's Crash My Party? He won the biggest award of all last night, so he is bound to get a big boost from the CMA awards.

Who's 2nd

If Azealia stays top 5 all weekend I think she has a chance to be top 10. She needs to sell 24k. It would be an impressive feat considering the Thursday release and her relatively small but loyal fanbase.

Great numbers for Taylor's second week

Somewhere in the 3.0-3.5 million region.

I think she'll manage to outsell it and be #1 for the year.

I don't think so
If red couldn't nothing can
if she stays strong next week she could go 2x plat tho

[Dingdong123]

Wait those Taylor numbers I expected her to drop similarly to RED (-72%) or even a steeper drop. And that 385-410k prediction is just about 68-70% drop.

I mean, 2x is obvious, she'll get there in 2-3 weeks. And she'll go well over 2 with Black Friday and Christmas, but she won't pass Frozen. People will still be buying that too

[muddysquirrel]

Omg. That second week. Monster.

[GiftFromGod]

The second week slayage of Taylor
I was off by 200K

[zach]

Was expecting a bigger drop. She keeps slaying!

Some of y'all seem to forget / not know Red was selling about 200k a week throughout November and December, making it triple platinum by the end of 2012. I expect to see the same thing here.

if she gets 2 million after her 3rd week
will she tie (although with more days) britney for fastest female to reach 2 million?

On October 16, Forbes reported that it had sold 3.2 million.

Lol.
I was either aiming this week or Black Friday...
At this rate she's coming for #1 female like a white horse.
That said, I will see how her sales are before Black Friday (which will be her last chance to swoop in and make history again as very few females have multiple #1 billboard year sellers) I think taylor has 2 or maybe one and hopefully this adds to it
