Yeah his singles never smash out of the gate when it comes to sales. OneRepublic debuted with 60,000 with their latest album and have had longevity due to Counting Stars. If PP has a hit hopefully it will end up reflecting on his album sales.

One Republic are still just above gold like 600K despite having a huge hit in CS. I really think if they (Interscope) gave Phillips a massive promo like they do with there other artists, he'd kill it, i have no doubt about it, i'm sure RF would be inside the top 100 and even higher if he performed it on TV shows but it's not likely
I think 60K or 70K would be fine considering the overall decline in sales these days in the music industry and knowing that his sales are not fast and burn but they go with longevity.
His album pre-order should at least hopefully help RF on iTunes.
yeah I am not expecting more than 60k because it is better to underestimate than the other way around. You see what that gets anyone here (e.g. Shakira, Lady Gaga, etc) 
what a memory!!! thx. I remember that RF wasnt on the list yet... or is it the last one???
