I like the fall from Taylor!!!

i need it below the 200K mark in 2 weeks when Loud arrives!

Keep dreaming.

She has great promo (CMA Awards & more). Even without promo, she can easily sell 200-300k

[MusicTalker]

SN's drop is normal, since 1) it sold more than a million copies in a week (hype sales/ her strongest fanbase all bought first week) & 2) most albums drop between 60-70% second week nowadays anyway.

^ It is actually very possible that she will be selling less than 200k in 2 weeks.

Loud's biggest competition won't be Taylor. It'll be Susan and Josh Groban.

What was Eminem's % third week decrease?

Isn't Susan predicted to sell 300K?

Who's Josh whatever?

Second week drop was between 50-60%. His sales drops were small compared to most albums today.

Third week I'm not sure, but it wasn't big.

I don't think they'll sell as much as people think, honestly. Though Susan could be looking at huge business on Black Friday.

Rihanna won't get #1 anyway. Not with Kanye releasing that week. Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, and My Chemical Romance will be competition as well.

I expected she would keep it above 350k...

Anyway, I think next week she is going to be somewhere around 290-330k, and that's still great...

but she has BMI Country Awards today (is it going to be televised??) and Country Music Association awards tomorrow... She will probably pull 250-350k for the upcoming two weeks... Hope she'll have more promo to become the best-selling album of this year

Josh Groban's album has been in the Amazon top 10 on pre-orders for the last month. It drops on Nov. 16.

His last album was like 4X platinum.

Josh Groban. A man who released this album in Q4 2007 and quickly snatched best-selling album of the year.

That album was largely helped by Oprah promo, though. I'm not expecting a similar performance with this album. He will sell well, though.

5x platinum.

It won't, Eminem is selling almost as good as she is but he released his album in July.

Is Josh Groban's new album a regular album or a Christmas album? If it's Christmas, sales will be huge. If not, it may not sell as well but sales will still probably be great. Older people like him, & they're more likely to buy albums.

[Nicole]

Amazing continued sales for Eminem.

I don't think he'll take the WW year-end crown anymore, though.

The Fame Monster: 5,801,000
Recovery: 5,045,000

It's a regular album, so he definitely won't dominate like he did with Noel.

With a gap that large he definitely won't.

I hope TF/M is discounted during the holidays.
