Even if they had known all that's known up to now, they still would've said "could". They always say that. Infact, they wrote an article on it being the fastest-selling digital song of all-time in US the night before saying she could be #1.

They're always on the conservative side just incase an abnormal situation happens where the result ends differently.

The fact that Nick has been in the #19 spot for like 2 weeks now.

This song needs to blow up, it's on the same quality as both Jealous + Chains.

When did Ex's & Oh's get so high? Slay, Elle

It would be nice for SLY to re-enter the Hot 100 but I know that's not possible at the moment.

This. I wasn't into pop music in 2010, but I recall someone saying Teenage Dream was predicted to sell like 700,000 first week? And then it sold significantly less than that...So I think publications are a lot more wary on posting their predictions before actually have tangible sales to go by.

While everyone could have predicted that coming off an era with 30M album sales and maybe like 30-40M single sales would have led to another enormous era, no one wants to have their predictions thrown in their face. Best to keep conservative and be "surprised" than have everyone rush to point out how they overestimated.

Executives at other major labels say they expected Perry's sophomore album to debut with sales of anywhere from 300,000 to 700,000 units, with most figuring the album would scan about 400,000. The album bows this week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, thanks to first-week sales of 192,000 units in the United States.

"I'd like to meet one industry executive last week who thought her album would do under 200,000 units, because I don't think that person exists," a senior executive at a rival major says.

"It was a wake-up call for some folks," the head of sales at another competing major says. "Some think the sky is falling. Others said, 'Wait a minute, she's a singles artist.' And still others said EMI should have put out the album six weeks ago and it would have sold more."

According to sources, EMI shipped 1 million units of the album prior to its U.S. street date of Aug. 24, which indicates that big-box retail chains like Walmart, Target and Best Buy were expecting the album to post robust first-week sales, as was Starbucks, which featured the title in its stores.

It would also be roughly in line with typical industry practice of shipping about twice as much product as anticipated first-week sales for a major album release. But prerelease shipments of "Teenage Dream" turned out to be about seven times debut-week sales.

I wonder if Hello w/ be frontloaded and fall quickly tho. The fact it's tearing down iTunes, Spotify, and VEVO so quick & the album is coming out in 1 month.

But lemme not doubt her anymore.

I was wondering about tha toot, since SLY should get a three week or so boost instead of just one. I'm interested in seeing what BB might do in this case.

[LostInStereo100]

Of course it's front loaded but the fact it's doing so well with green updates means it won't crash hard percentage wise

But Teenage Dream also had amazing longevity, far more than anyone predicted, so the prognosticators were wrong about Perry's album in more ways than one.

But even with a multi week boost they would only let it back in if it's top 50, no?
And it probably wouldn't be top 50.... I think...

Yes, SLY would need to reach the Top 50 for any consideration. It won't reenter below #50, but maybe if it gets the points that put it in the Top 50.....
