These predictions are usually very off. They said Rihanna would do 400K and Taylor would do 2M.

And Katy Perry 300K or something, I was like for real ? Allo quoi.

Wow that's a lot!

These are PREDICTIONS, before all you climax.

This is a very very high bar, almost as much as FutureSex/LoveSounds despite Suit & Tie being nowhere near as big as SexyBack. I think over 400k would be impressive, let alone 600k. The real test is outside of the US where "Suit & Tie" has failed to gain any major traction in most markets and the R&B-leaning sound of the album may not prove as marketable.

Those markets adopt mirrors.. So... And its not only a rb album.

Is this his highest first week?

[chilicheese01]

Just like how Katy did 800K for Teenage Dream. Can't wait!

No they didn't.

I'm pretty sure Rihanna exceeded their original predictions, as did Taylor. They never predicted she'd do 2 Million.

After just one week it'll be the best selling RnB album of the past 2 years.

Um label predictions ≠ HDD predictions, these are not the people who thought Katy would do 750K, Taylor 2 mil, etc.

HDD is indeed FAR more right.

[Monster Boy]

That's very impressive.

What a great comeback.

[Marq]

He'll do 400-500k.

[staracademy1990]

That's a great number!! I hope actual is same or higher

Still haven't listened to the album. I will only listen when I buy my copy next Tuesday

[princedonte]

I hope he does more My baby Daddy deserves it.

[KRL]

I thought that suit and tie song was terrible but I like and respect justin and I think he deserves this

[QueenBeé]

They predicted his singles sales wrong, so we'll see.

This is more likely, IMO.

But with all the promotion / pre-orders, I wouldn't be surprised if he tops 600k.

[IconicFlop]

F***ing amazing. I'd love to see that strong opening, or even better! I predict a bit less though, more in the 475-550k range. Either way, a gigantic first week!
