I wonder what MINE will open to when it drops on Aug. 16.

Could it do 400K opening week?

If it's good, 500K?

She did 325K with the craptastic TWAFT which wasn't even off of a highly anticipated new album.

It will sell 1 million.

I take back every negative comment about Taylor.I wish her well and she will sell at 500,00-700,00 k.

Well, they must be a bunch of nobodies because she's currently the most successful woman in country music and has won every country award made.

um yea ur wrong, u forgot about carrie underwood didnt u??? um 13 number one country hits, how many taylor had?? um lets see 4. carrie underwood has sold 11.8 million albums against taylors 10 million. and carrie underwood is the first female artist to win the acm entertainer of the year award 2 years in a row.

and if u want to start all time female country artists shania takes the cake

but taylor does have a huge fanbase but a mil opening??? aint gonna happen. i mean come on theres no way

And Taylor WILL surpass those feeble numbers in NO time. Taylor's second album was BIGGER than her debut and she has had more crossover success than Carrie. Who else?

[KarlosVzla]

I hope she can

[WheresJay]

I doubt it her, her hype died out pretty quickly

[Anthony K.]

LMFAO. This sounds like Billboard saying Kelly Clarkson would beat Britney's OIDIA 1st week numbers when she released her debut album in 2002.

Eminem couldn't do it. End of story.

maybe, i kinda doubt it though i think since taylors whole crossover time her country fanbase she had is slipping. i mean fearless (the song) just barely hit 10. and not to mention they whole taylor hype has kinda went down.

If "Mine" has the success of "Love Story" or "You Belong With Me," then it's a wrap.

Never underestimate the power of tweens, the people responsible for things like Twilight.

Eminem is not the end-all of who can open with a million units & who can't. Last time I checked, there have been albums that opened with more than Recovery did in the past two years.

It's the biggest since AC/DC in 2008, if I'm not wrong. And then there was Lil Wayne with his "milli".

But I'm analyzing what's happening right now, nothing more. Not to mention that, for some reason, men usually get bigger opening numbers. And Susan Boyle, with all that hype, didn't sell a million - in December. So...

[RainMan]

Lets not forget the industry is still in decline so its getting less likely for anyone to open with 1 million again.

[1-N-Only21]

Didn't Eminem sell what we sold with like NO radio hit?

It is POSSIBLE to open with bigger numbers than Eminem though. And tbh if anyone can sell more than him first week it is Taylor.

I'm not biased when I say this either. If Fearless opened with 592K, then imagine how much her next album can open with...
