Katy's fans put it on themselves. Hyping up the album like it was gonna have "Oops!... I Did It Again" first week sales.
Quote:
Predictions and hype are two separate things. When Katy Perry fans say "it will break records", that would be "hype" referring to Britney's current record for "Oops!... I Did It Again".
When referencing a 1 million opening week in sales:
Please enjoy a cup...
EDIT: I realized a lot of PRISM threads have been closed when going thru my history of the threads I've posted in lol
omg no offense but is everyone on ATRL so thick-headed? The people whom you quoted are no more stans than that triangle in the avi dude, Opacho, or any of the other monsters who've commented on several Katy threads
I'm glad you quoted both in one post umich... kinda proves what I was saying between "hype" & "predictions". Predictions are the concrete numbers given. Hype are statements like "it will break records".

Oh wait.
And you specifically said that the Katy Kats are the ones that hyped when all you did was quote non-stans to show how the Kats were the ones who made outlandish predictions/hype... Is that so hard to understand?
2. Miley Cyrus (RCA) 40-45k
3. Drake (Young Money/Cash Money/Republic) 40-45k
4. Lorde (Lava/Republic) 40-45k
All projected to do 40-45k. If things pan out for Lorde, she could end up with a new peak on the BB200 at #2 She debuted at #3.
I think it could happen when you consider that Bangerz and all those other gurls are at the bottom of the top 10 while Pure Heroine is at #3 on iTunes US behind only Prism and the OneDirection preorder
There's one thing that no one can deny, and it is that if you look at some at the artists with high first week singles sales, there are two groups, the ones that also had big first week album sales (Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift) and the ones that don't (Flo Rida and Katy Perry).

Gaga is no longer on Swift's level though of single selling power. 218K and 160K is not on par with 620K and 299K for lead/promo singles. The gap is even wider if you consider Taylor's next promo single (which turned out to be the 2nd single) that sold 400K+.

Flo Rida has never even had an album sell 100,000 copies in the US in its debut week. His best is around 85,000, if I recall correctly. And NONE of his albums have sold anywhere near TD's total.
Looks like Katy's album is doing pretty well for a 'singles artist'.

GaGa can't be grouped with Taylor anymore.And Flo Rida CANNOT be grouped with Katy Perry,when the latter has shifted around 10 million with 2 albums.
With songs like IKAG, LFN, and "Peacock" in her oeuvre, it's fair to assume Katy will never open with Taylor-numbers. Gaga will never open big again either. Artists with any hint of carnality and obscenity in their music/image alienate a lot of potential buyers but sometimes they have to make that trade-off to keep their artistic integrity.

Thank you!
Instead of focusing on PRISM sales you should really go and earn some money to buy Work Bitch as many times as possible and gift it to people,that is much more necessary.
at you quoting a bunch of non Katycats, clearly voiding your argument. 
She debuted at #3.
