What do y'all get out of arguing over album sales or sales in general, honestly?
Fact of the matter is he put out yet another quality album and I'm sure he'll have no trouble moving units in the long run so all this unnecessary fuss over FIRST WEEK numbers is irrelevant.
A three Grammy award winner with five #1 hits in the US is an A list.
Especially since he's worked with artists such as Adele and Alicia Keys and they both have praised his work.
The new Metallica album sucks
Miranda my QUEEN! WOOO excellent and for a double album as well!
Bruno - I love the album except for SU&D but he chose the wrong lead single and that really hurt him. Also I don't see him serving longevity because of how short the album is and the cohesiveness of the album is almost to its detriment. The longevity point served well for the first two albums BUT after headlining TWO acclaimed Super Bowl Half Time Shows and scoring one of the biggest songs in HISTORY and winning a ROTY Grammy.... he should have enough momentum to be outdoing Miranda let alone Metallica's numbers.
