It's such a kii how we only have arguments in prediction threads when they're predictions for pop girls.

What if it opens less than Lotus? :O

Then we'll still be grateful she's releasing She's been the most successful girl of her generation, yet she hasn't promoted regularly for a decade. This was bound to happen.

Circus - 350k

I don't know why I screamed at this

Nope to all.

Moves Like Jagger sold more than any single by Brit
X holds a better album sale average than Brit since Brit fell hard from 2nd to 3rd album
X grossed a 100 million tour years, and years before Brit, that's why she's staying in Vegas
X influenced other legends like Whitney, and Celine
X's awards are worth more, her 5 Grammys alone >>>>>
More people want to be X than Brit; just watch these singing shows
Talent: Brit said she wanted X's voice, she's knows she can compare to X's talent

X, and I win Britney!

- If you count the South Korean free/2 cent sales Britney's still sold considerably more singles worldwide.
- Xtina: 14 million/7 studio albums = 2 million
Britney: 32.5 million/7 studio albums = 4.643 million
- LOL On a joint tour. Britney's staying in Vegas for her kids. I expect to see Christina do the same because she loves to be with Max so much she put a recording studio in her home.
- LOL Britney's influenced X.
- Are you really going to tell a Britney fan that Grammys are legitimate? She exposed that there was inside ties used for them forever ago when she stopped attending for over a decade.
- LOL Look at the new generation: Miley, Selena, Katy, Gaga, etc. have all cited Britney.
- Britney was being the humble being she is and giving Christina a compliment.

Remember when ARTPOP predictions were 100k higher than the actual numbers.

Predictions have been way off this year. I'm still expecting 100k.

No Top 10 single like last era, virtually no promo, and an incompetent management team.

I agree with you. Predictions have been way off this year, Eminem, Drake and One Direction have been the only one who will or have surpassed their predictions. Justin Timberlake did great too, but without promo, I wouldn't think Britney would pull those numbers.

There's no point in bringing up Bionic, and Lotus when Britney Jean will be in the same position in sales: Not or barely going Gold. Anything can happen though X's Burlesque Soundtrack sold about 60k 1st week, and went on to sell over 700k (which happens to be about the same as Femme Fatale), and it's still going strong.

More than I would have thought!

Madonna performed at the SuperBowl, the strongest promo available, and gave CDs away with tour tickets. Her number is actually 185k, but for some reason Billboard forgets to put the mighty asterisk after her inflated number, 359k*.

Do your research honey, you kinda have a mess in your receipts

[ebuc]

HDD: 150-200k for Britney Jean due to "light ZERO promo schedule"

In 3 months one MV and radio interviews.
Rihanna with 2 MV did a bigger promotion for a 1YO album.
lol.

[pink.hearts]

I still think it's going to do lower than that

A la Circus projections were 300-350k, then after GMA and "Circus" video she moved through to over 500k by the end of the week.

Circus did 500k+?
Wow slay 2008ney!

[Ainsworth]

150k+ would be extremely impressive considering she hasn't had a top ten this era. Hope it does well for her.

[Alvajay]

if she does these numbers, thats pretty solid. You really cant expect her to break 300k without any promo, look at the last 3 big debuts by main pop girls, people putting these numbers to shame are just hating

505k circus
280k FF

[hector.adriel]

This is actually really good, tbh.
I was expecting 100K. Hopefully this 150-200K will be enough for the #1.

Britney Jean promo performances:


Britney Jean is still doing better numbers, but keep dragging.

Britney Jean's sales would have been a lot lower if it had the same amount of promo Bionic had.

[hector.adriel]

Hopefully her team surprise us all and have a massive promo week on the release week. It would push the album to 200K, tbh.

Because that makes sense.


This Xtina stans doing the most, when it's not even REMOTELY debatable that Britney's outdone her in every department, even with Xtina having the best voice out of the two.

[Monster]

Decent.

It does make sense if you knew what that Gaga stan means. That stan meant if Britney promoted more, people would get turned off from buying the album from how she performed.

Anyways no need to try to bring X's success down. The best way to measure where X, and B are at with their career successes right this second's iTunes -

13 A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera - Say Something
124 Britney Spears - Perfume

So don't hate.
