Bish all of that Capitol-level promo and you haven't seen it yet?

I have now and I love Scarlett so much more This movie was so Julianne of her, including the full frontal nudity. Except not even Julianne has ever done anything this far out. Wooo it won't make a dime. But there's one scene that made me JUMP like I've never jumped in a movie.

The Guardian: How Scarlett Johansson helped me challenge disfigurement stigma

Adam Pearson was born with a condition that causes tumours to grow on his face. But acting with Scarlett Johansson in Under the Skin is changing the way people look at him

Pearson is currently starring alongside Scarlett Johansson in Under the Skin, a critically acclaimed science fiction film directed by Jonathan Glazer about an alien who roams the streets of Glasgow abducting and killing unsuspecting men. In one of the most poignant scenes, the alien (Johansson) is shown picking up a hooded man at night (Pearson). When the unnamed man reveals his disfigured face, it is a pivotal moment: the alien becomes humanised and conflicted. The two of them have a brief conversation about the nature of ignorance and prejudice. The alien does not remark on the stranger's face, instead complimenting him on his "beautiful" hands.

I don't think "BEYSTIALITY" will even be nominated for AOTY.

Maybe R&B and female categories though..

US or WW?

It's about to or just passed 2 million copies sold in the US, and I can maybe see it making it to 3.5-4 million if its nominated for AOTY and sees a winter boost. 5 million is a stretch because it would have to sell over twice as much as it already has, and the Frozen momentum has peaked.

Its weekly sales are still high, but they're slowly but surely decreasing.

U.S.

I don't think 5 million is out of the realm at all.

It's at 2M tho.

Which is what? TEA and ATRL's "adjusting for market conditions" are actually two different things. If you take TEA away, 21 is still one of the biggest eras of all-time. 25-28 million hasn't ever been "standard." Still, you can't automatically say that this and that album would be diamond if you adjust it to 1999 sales. The TEA method doesn't even do that.

They are two different methods attempting to achieve the same end for comparison.

All Kworb's chart does is adjust sales to reflect the percentage OVERALL market sales have changed. How is that not a fair point of comparison?

When people say "standard" it's not like they are implying that it was standard for EVERY album released back in the 90s, but it was definitely not atypical for the biggest album(s) of a given year to sell that much back then.

I don't see why it can't ... There are no major releases

IMO 4 should have got a nom. Shows you Grammy's is about commercial success and content but then they thrown curveball at you and let Esperlada Splading win over tween king Justin Beiber .. And not to mention Katy still has no grammy's despite her single success

mess, they don't deserve it with the materials they put out

well "4" was the best selling R&B release of 2011-2 and wasn't even nominated for R&B categories

And who's to say Frozen won't be a catalog seller? It's bound to get a boost for Easter, then the winter holiday season, award season, and then you have to think about small, random things that could give it a boost. I didn't say that it WILL sell 5 million or that it will do it all in 2014.

Frozen is still selling +100K a week. It'll eventually venture into the 50-80K a week territory which will be the same thing basically, just with a little bit more time.

[iHype.]

It's actually really weird, it all about the climate / longevity when trying to determine how much an album would've sold then.


2006 had the same amount of albums sold as 1993; yet one year was full of 7-10x Platinum albums, while another was full of 1-4x Platinum albums.

I know, but the way albums are falling.

I see it hitting 3M. I don't see anything ever being a strong enough catalog seller to do millions over the years ever again, with the way current album sales are.

Albums aimed at kids (that their parents feel obligated to purchase) have had the advantage since the bottom of the market fell out in 2006-2007.

Kworb is not a legit source, and we tend to want to use "legitimate sources" to back up our claims like I'm using Soundscan/Billboard and others tend to want to use IFPI in their favors.

And no, when people here say "standard," that's exactly what they think - that diamond was the IN thing when it was just a handful of albums doing it.

ugh, not me forcing myself to watch Pharrell's dreadful live performance just because they is a rumored Beyonce appearance. the dedication

This is very true..

Diamond wasn't guaranteed, especially not in '99/'00.
