Exactly why BTW > Teenage Dream in terms of album sales. No matter how many singles she sells (for albums) her sales aren't up to par

But she has singles and that makes up for her album sales(Billboard even made article about it).She has/will sell much more records.Is it too hard for you to understand?

He doesn't know albums+singles sales are considered record sales and Teenage Dream trumps Born This Way.

Good sales for Adele, kill it girl, kill it.

Holding up strong. Hopefully this week's promo will keep it in the top 15 for Black Friday.

Same goes to those who think none of those consumers were going to.

I love how unattached I am to these Katy/Gaga comparisons since I love them both. Gaga was the Katy of singles before this era.

Probably not worldwide, though. Even her WW under-performers are doing 4M+. I'm sure she's still going to end up releasing 8-9 singles, with over 50M records sold from this album when it's all said and done.

Teenage Dream will end up selling 2 million by the end of the year.
Legend.
I want a re-release badly tho.

[nky0411]

the TD and BTW comparison is hilarious ..
WW record sold ? not even close to be honest, and BTW is just in middle of the era, the later half gonna slay.
we should be getting back on the topic ..

how much will BTW sell this week ?

Isn't this the Billboard 200 thread?

Okay, I believe it'll top 20M records in the US and challenge TD in the long-run.

I never said that. But let's be realistic, would Born This Way be ahead of Teenage Dream now if it weren't for that1st week fire sale?

Maybe "The Edge of Glory" but I don't see either "Judas" or "You and I" doing more than 2.5 million WW when all is said and done.

Buble got alot of promo planned, based on what I'm reading in this Billboard Article. He aint going no where.

[Cap10Planet]

I think GaGa would have been where Wayne is now. He is already closing in that gap, but #2 best selling album of the year is a lock for GaGa I say (Billboard especially), unless Lil Wayne has a great Christmas season.

sales is still sales, whether 1st week or not.
Even you take out the $0.99 sales, BTW will still cross 2m. (and half of those people who bought it on the deal will still buy it)

You think Bublé has a chance at becoming a surprise upset for the #2 slot? Ala Josh Groban in '06?

Not a chance, unless he starts moving 500-600k a week until the end of the year.

The Billboard year is over, but Soundscan is still open. We'll see if he starts moving big numbers.

First week sales are not sales? If no discount at first week, people who buy her album will still buy it late

If katy discounted her album in 1st week, how much she can sell? 3mil ?
