It will probably be 11 plat by the end of the year?
Uh, it will def. be 11 plat by the end of the year. 12 is more likely, with 13 possible.
It will be 11 by end of may, then has all of June - Oct (5 months) to sell, and then will pick up once more at Christmas time (nov-dec)
It should be able to sell another million from June-Oct and one more from Nov-Dec period.
BTW, in case anyone missed it, Hits is estimating her at 155-165K on next weeks chart! With another boost to come on mother's day and selling over 100K every normal week, it might hit diamond BEFORE the end of May.
I really wish we'd have some sort of confirmation she will be on Billboard Awards or Idol or even Dancing with the Stars.
Every time she promotes, the album rockets up the chart!!
