I hope they are overestimating Bieber's pure album sales

Why would they sell less? They don't need a lot of promo, they're just mostly followed by its loyal fanbase, it's their last album, it's not like they are amazingly received by GP

Well after FOUR debut and decline, a lot said they were over. They've been saying that through two 2x platinum, 1.5 million and 1 million album but they said it over and over.

So yeah it is kind of amazing they keep proving people wrong.

I'm hoping they attempt a real era since there's no tour. This album could sell with MM, given they have their usual longevity.

Also makes me wonder if Bieber will have some longevity this time. Believe is 1.5 million after 3 1/2 years, what 1D have surpassed in a few weeks with first three albums. Love Yourself or Been You should be next (since his deluxe is cheap). That Halsey song will kill the album sales quicker than BAAB.

Is this just from the competition or did the Lyft/ticket bundle boost him so high, so quickly? I wish they'd verify at least the impact these deals are having on his sales. It's potentially future of music marketing. Janet doing it with Uber, though obviously won't be as huge.

And how great we'll have two weeks back to back of potential 1m debuts (1D/Biebs combined) and of course Adele with her 5 million first day.

Purpose has been getting good word of mouth! From people outside his usual demographic.

Plus he's been getting headlines all week.

450k pure album sales are really good for 1D though. They are selling more than FOUR and that openning will help them to get at least their 5th consecutive Platinum album

Promo helps everyone. And mess at you implying that Bieber is amazingly received by the gp or he's followed outside his fanbase.
Not to forget this is a nice increase from last year's, when everybody was claiming their moment was up.

Happy to see promo is working for Biebz, these albums giveaways in his concert at 4$ are doing it!

[Tom Vercetti]

The Biebs will likely pull through.

The streak ends with Zayne. Its going to look amazing for his solo career that he had such an impact actually.

Come thru Justin

[Troye]

I'm really happy for Bieber too. He's got his music on point.

Whatever happens after this week, it's going to be doing well for both artists.

[Dark XXX]

Artists who make good-quality music are flopping and selling less while garbage like these albums are going on to sell 500k. The music industry has become an absolute travesty and social media/teenagers is blame for it all. So sad.

[Timber]

Welp. Looks like 1D is won't be tying Beyonce's streak.

[getback]

omg mess

Exactement
Bieber's predictions are the ones likely to go up. 1D's are dunzo at this point and can only go down.

[Butters]

Pull through Bieber.

[1989]

YES JUSTIN
