Not J Lo missing the top 4

[iamvladd]

Billboard: Major 6/17 Releases

Lana: 175k+
Sam Smith: 150k+ (though forecasters caution that figure could go higher.)
Linkin Park: 100 - 125k
deadmau5 - 40k
Jennifer Lopez - 30k
Tiesto - 15k

Lana del Rey would break the 100k course after 6 months (Britney & Beyonce the last female artist to reach this)

JLO I knew this would flop hard I dont get how she is pretty relevant and she cant sell any albums

[Dark Phoenix]

Jlo is #87 on Amazon

Maybe she will snatch 50k sales

Miranda Lambert isn't a female artist now?

[pablozedd]

Poor jlo

[dannyboy]

Wait, Sam Smith is on Capitol? ****! Lana's screwed

[omrimayo]

I think Sam will win this in the 5K range.. He a MASSIVE Promo and she has nothing like always... and his PE are better as of right now... It will be 190K vs 185K +/-/ Her album is MUCH better than his.

[iambradds]

J lo flopped sooooo hard :[

[Rated]

Lana could snatch some more without Sam's and LP releases.

Get to promoting AKA like the stan you are.

[alrightsir]

Who cares if Lana gets a #1 or #2? She will have the longevity.

[Royal Culture]

I'll be supporting Lana and JLo with my cash next week

[Cain]

Wait, what, since when is Sam so big in the US? Since when is Lana so big in the US?
I've missed a lot but happy for them both.

[Stantasea]

Regardless of the position Ultraviolence's projections seem great, especially considering the current state of the industry.

Interested to see how Tiesto goes as well.

if Lana opens above 200k like Katy/Miley/Gaga, with no hits, no AI, no televised promo. How embarrassing for our faves.

I kinda hope this happens. Our pop girls and some of the stans will be seething.

I still think that Lana will be No.1 the next week but the longevity will be on Sam's side. Unfortunately, Lana doesn't have hits on the new album to keep the album selling for months and months, while Sam does (for example Like I Can).

Alternative acts don't need "hits" to have the longevity.

Born to Die had no hits for 18+ months and still sold and still selling on BB200 today.
