I think he means to debut on the Hot 100 without any sales whatsoever. Unless of course, that's also what you're talking about. And 23mil does seem like a bit much.
Yes that's a lot for one day. If it were still the premiere date, it could be close. I would still enjoy it to possibly debut at #1. That is a record to truly beat.
I think she should have released it to smaller download sites, like amazon so that those sales can help her debut low and then have a huge rise when it's on iTunes.
Chris Brown has released to amazon already and I think that will help him debut.
Does anyone think that "3" could possibly beat the opening sales of "Womanizer"?
I highly doubt it but it's possible.
Why not?
If '3' has the potential to take that #1 spot, it should sell at least 230k, right? I think if it could pass the 200k range, it wouldn't be hard to add 80k more. We'll have to see how it does first, though. If it climbs to #1 in less than 24 hours like Womanizer, then it's absolutely possible.
I don't think "3" will outsell "Womanizer." "Womanizer" had much more hype. Even "Gimme More" had more hype than "3." Although, I still think it can manage debuting at number one with over 200k.

I also think it's not that possible. Prices are higher than last year, the digital charts show a decline in high sales, the hype is lower (though not that significantly) than "Womanizer", also there is no music video to boost sales even higher like "Womanizer" had in the middle of it's sales week. I'll be happy with 235k-240k. It'll be enough to catch a week at #1 and another long run in the Top 10.
IDK. It'd be cool if it were on Bubbling Under this week and debut at #1 next week
