I agree. I thought BTW was going to sell around GGGB numbers originally, coming after The Fame (Monster), and it ended up just pulling a Loud at the end of it all. I think her next era will probably end up with Circus/B2B kind of numbers (~4 million global total) with perhaps a bigger opening week if she releases her album in the last quarter of this year. I also think she will get good singles, but that will be a trade off for less albums sold.
Fourth-Quarter release: 400-600k
First Quarter release: 200-300k
