Mary J Blige last album had a debut of 330,000 copies sold. Are they really underestimating her selling power?

Tell it.

And this is why I don't want it to hit #1.

I agree with my sisters.

Besides, Rihanna could have had 3 #1 albums by now if released at the right time (GGGB, Loud and TTT). Well actually, not that much of a 'right time' because sales would be lower than the holiday season.

I love how they counted Mary out, watch her ass **** outta nowhere.

I wonder why they counted her out, since her last album opened better than Rihanna's and Nickelback's last efforts:



She also has an amazing promo schedule. She already did Good Morning America, Dancing With The Stars, the One Night In… New York City benefit concert, and TeenNick HALO Awards. She has American Music Awards, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, The Today Show, Chelsea Lately, The View, and more coming up, and she's also doing a four-night concert event, Mary J. Blige: UNSTAGED, on which she will perform the album in its entirety (similar to 4 Intimate Nights With Beyoncé,) with a live broadcast on VEVO.

Mary's performing on the AMAs tomorrow, and she has the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade thing, too.

Taking notes from her inspiration
___
She opened up with 330k with no BIG hits. When it boils down to it, her fans are really dedicated. Rih will definitely snatch the WW No.1 though.

[FAME.]

The good sis Mary doesn't see it for this.

[KoreanDream]

The top 3 will be Nickelback, Mary, and Rihanna. No idea where each will place though. It could really go any way.

I can't wait to see kisuke's post when mary blocks rih

[crumprKID]

If Mary's fans buy physical copies won't that mean some of the Black Friday deals will hurt her on Billboard?

[LightandDarkness]

Is Mary J Blige, considered local?

Daughtry sis. You forgot Daughtry. They sell good first week too.

She has a fanbase in the UK, but she's an R&B artist. She won't do that much worldwide unless she promotes hard.

You think Buble won't be in the top 3?

[Right Now]

Black Friday is likely to soften Drake's decline & he's already expected to sell around 700k. Don't count him out.

Not to mention Daughtry has pretty good opening weeks too.

She'll still hit #1 worldwide though which matters more.

To stans, not to the average person since that chart is relevantly unknown. A #1 on the Billboard 200 counts as MAJOR points at the end of the decade and the year.

This means nothing.

TTT Really deserves a #1 Debut
