She can go on a talk show on Monday and perform also do some more radio interviews that day as well.
Tuesday promote the album again.. go on 106 & Park and this time perform.
In the night go on Jimmy Kimmel

On Wednesday Hit Up The View.

Thursday she can get on her flight to Barbados to spend Christmas with the family.

Come back and get on a New Years Eve show like what she did last year. Preferably the Dick lark one in LA since shes gonna be hosting a party in Vegas on new Years Eve.

Its their thing to spend christmas together. she should just take next week off and realize that she has an album to promote. Gosh, if she doesnt promote the album i might cry.

and the thing is that in the UK shes like pulling Taylor Swift numbers and here shes just barely scraping by.

Rated R sold 150K this same week

Well at least she's going to sell 150k in the Uk

Um no, sis

Rated R 2009 sales:
1st week: 181K
2nd week: 54K (-70%)
3rd week: 50K (-9%)
4th week: 78K (+56%)
5th week: 91K (+16%)

Biebs outselling all the girls without any radio support. Reigning Prince of Pop.

Overall these sales are pretty low. Usually the whole top 10 is above 100k this time of year.

[FAN]

Bieber outselling the big bitches

Katy ahead of Rihanna! Did Katy promote this week though?

[Jennifer]

LMAO. Promo does next to nothing, unless it's a major event/show.

Her performing on The View and Jay Leno is going to get her an extra 5, maybe 10k in sales.

The biggest form of promotion is radio airplay and Rihanna has monsterous amounts of it. EVERYONE knows the 2 singles, everyone knows she has an album out.

Please don't bring up the UK or international, I know her sales are great over there & on par with what they should be. That's why I don't get why the USA just ignores her albums. It seems like we are the only country she isn't selling large amounts in despite dominating the airwaves.

1) GGGB sold the same as Animal/OOTB before the rerelease (with 2 massive #1 smashes)

2) Hits don't sell an album, as we've seen with Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Susan Boyle, an artists with big singles and their albums flop like Flo Rida, Nelly, BEP, Ke$ha (Canibal)

3) Rihanna is predicted to already fall below Teenage Dream this week. Only time will tell

1) GGGB only had 1 #1 before the re-release and still GGGB sold better

2) What does that have to do with anything? gurl

3) We'll see

With the aid of a re-release, and the span of 2 years.

More than half of Rated R sales stemmed from the time Russian Roulette/Hard were out, Rude Boy didn't do much more. And only just went Platinum a few weeks ago.

That's a BOLD statement to say considering Katy has proven herself. If anything they'll sell the same amount in the end.

1) I'm saying the rerelease had 2, it only sold better cuz of a rerelease and 8 music videos

2) You said Rated R did platinum with only one hit, acting like if it had 3 or 4 then it would have done better, your wrong cuz hits =/= album sales

3) we shall

Does it matter? everydoes re-release nowadays.

It went platinum in Sep.

Rube Boy keeped the album on float and made sure it didn't completely fall off.

ehh It is a bold statement, but I think it well. No shade to Katy, her album is doing great.

[bobbymfw]

1.5 million is all but guaranteed now for TD.

"S&M" will be a hit for Rihanna but "Cheers," "Fading," or "Raining Men" are a bit riskier so there's no telling how sales for Loud will hold up in 2011. The fact that the price for the album hasn't risen above $5 in many places will give it an advantage.

1) It's not my problem her re-release had two smashes It sold better because it WAS better

2) Rihanna needs hits to sell an album.

[Cap10Planet]

The most Katy will sell with this album is about 1.1 or 1.2 million. I don't see this selling better than her debut.

Rihanna will max out around 1 million.

That would be great for Katy
