100k in 2 days seems great but what do I know

100k is the prediction for the entire week, not for 2 days.

Well, why not? It's a black empowerment anthem. Why wouldn't black people identify with the song and purchase it more in proportion to other races? I'm sure a lot of people who purchased Born This Way were gay.

You actually don't have any data to back any of your comments though.

Isn't there a statistic out there that black people are more likely to purchase movie tickets, watch television legally, etc.? It just makes sense that Beyoncé sells a lot when you factor in the loyalty of her black fans.

Wow. Had no clue that Adele and Taylor Swift has so many black fans. That explains everything.

Which one is it?

There was hype but a song like Perfect Illusion is not for everybody. If she came out with a pop banger she would be smashing the charts with it right now.

And that's why I posed a question rather than a statement.

I think it will do 110k+, especially with AHS on Wednesday. Remember Kworb predicted Make Me to do 82k and it did 96k. Dangerous Woman was predicted to do 108k, it did 118k. Focus was predicted to do 97k, it did 113k.

I honestly expected 500k first week with a #1 debut, and record breaking AI numbers. I'm still rooting for her, thought. Not too bad.

reallY?

[Lucita]

Mess. But PI's just a buzz single anyway.
