Taylor is coming for that milli guys. Sorry YM8, but it's all but guaranteed at this point that she's going to beat Weezy's 1.005, with the way the predictions keep increasing.

Country music extends its run of #1s to five of the last six weeks as Taylor Swift is poised to make history on next week's chart. At midweek, and barring an iTunes server meltdown or Target suddenly shutting its doors, Swift will score the largest first week ever for a female country artist, besting Shania Twain's Up debut of 874k in 2002. Can she beat Lil Wayne's 1.005m from 2008? She has that number clearly in her sights. And if she does, will it be by enough to unseat Garth Brooks' mark of 1.085m debut with Double Live in 1998?
The last time a record debuted at close to or over a million (Lil Wayne in the week ending 6/15/08), the Top 15 totaled almost 2.1m. No such luck next week as it's shaping up to be a whopping 600k less. Here's how it all looks headed into the Halloween weekend.
Taylor Swift (Big Machine) 975k-1m
Sugarland (Mercury Nashville) 85-90k
Kings of Leon (RCA/RMG) 70-75k
Lil Wayne (Cash Money/Universal Motown) 40-45k
Eminem (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) 35-40k
Glee Cast Rocky Horror Glee Show (Columbia) 28-32k
Elton John & Leon Russell (Decca) 28-32k
Rod Stewart (J/RMG) 24-27k
Darius Rucker (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 24-27k
*Michael Buble Hollywood: The Deluxe EP (Reprise) 21-24k
The Band Perry (Universal Republic Nashville) 18-21k
Kenny Chesney (BNA/SME Nashville) 18-21k
Zac Brown Band (Atlantic) 18-21k
Shakira (Epic) 18-21k
Trey Songz (Atlantic) 18-21k
Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 18-21k
^ Nice hold??? it sold 46K this week... if she sells 18K its a 60% decrease!... and not even 70K in 2 weeks.... This could take more than a month to sell 100K

But when you think of the fact that she has no hit uber smash single and the fact that its a LATIN album, I think its a very strong hold.
^ I think that even enrique did better..... Shakira is already huge and excuses are not valid for her.... Is the same case as Christina... when her album didnt even sold 300K its a problem no matter what

He did better because I Like It was actually being played a lot on radios. But I totally agree, these numbers are very, VERY bad for someone like Shaki.
Shakira didn't have a huge hit like "I Like It", and Christina Aguilera is a bigger star in the US than Shakira [not saying much] (plus had 80x the marketing / promotion). The sales are acceptable since she doesn't have a "La Tortura" crossover or a "Hips Don't Lie".

X's already sold 46 mill albums; Bionic's another plate to an already legendary serving of ownage. 1 your fave may never see.
