Oh no. She's gonna OWN again! Her contemporaries, mostly people who prefer physical over digital, will once again rule the sales trade.

who's norah jones

JJ's album will flop in the US but would be a moderate hit WW..

or maybe JJ's album will sell higher (thanks to his supahstar brother)

just my 2cents

1. Janet Jackson 186,000
2. Shakira 160,000
5. Katy Perry 89,000
6. Leona Lewis 80,000

I honestly don't even see it being them taking the Top 4 debuts. People thought that would be the case with Paramore, Serena, Madonna, and Mariah, but those were all over the place.

So my prediction will be:
Shakira (#1)
Leona (#3)
Janet/Katy - Top 20

Janet's GH with a weak and practically unknown "Make Me" single, and Katy with a Live Unplugged. Won't be major threats or sellers.

Holy ****... Well let's hope she makes it top ten.

i'd like her to sell at least what Madonna sold first week but it's unlikely.

Janet has sold roughly 26 million albums in the US, where did the rest come from? She's barely known outside her home country.

you may wanna think before you let the foolish words roll off your tongue

[beyoncefan1]

Shakira is relasing the 24th so that puts her out of the preds here.

Control - 14M ww

The Velvet Rope - 10M ww

I Want You: 1M

Those numbers are inflated and inaccurate, however "Feedback" sold more than 400k.

By the way, the cover for this collection is perfect. It's honestly the best she's looked in at least five years. It's much better and more visually appealing than Celebration and The Single Collection covers.

Really?

Janet has put out 11 albums (including DoaD), all of which have sold from 500,000 to close to 20 million copies worldwide. She has released 57 singles in total, 26 of which have charted within the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. They've tossed around that number for several years now--I'd think it's closer to 110 million at this point.

First of all, I don't even believe those numbers are real. "janet.", "The Velvet Rope" and, maybe, "All for You" were her only albums that didn't bomb internationally. The rest, however,... =/

If she'd had the impact that Mariah, Céline or Whitney once had globally, then I'd believe those 100 million records are actually accurate. But that's just me.

Yeah, that's just you. What about Rhythm Nation? Control was a mega album too.
