One performance the week of the release won't be enough to match the Circus sales because this time the album won't have the holiday sales. I love Britney but I'm just being realistic.
By the way when you said 2 - 2.5 million, are you talking about the US only?
Because selling over 2 million in the US only is really difficult these days, especially for a pop artist. The only pop albums to do that in the US the last 4 years are Future Sex /Love Sounds, The Dutchess, Good Girl Gone Bad, The Fame & The E.N.D and those were albums with long eras, a lot of promo and multiple successful singles.

Oh, trust me. I'm as realistic as it gets. My issue with the promotion is, I feel last era was completely planned to the tea ala too strategic. No time for breaking the agenda. Single, album, For The Record (to diminish any other possible interviews), few promo spots, tour, The End. Every stan here says she's lazy and doesn't want to work, but doesn't get the
Circus era, and obviously we know why she didn't promote during
Blackout. I just don't honestly believe the promo we got last era will be a continuing occurrence every album now...as every other fan of hers does.
When I say 2-2.5M, I do mean in the US. GaGa, BEP, and Beyonce have done it in the past year with typical promotion and singles that have been kept up. BEP, didn't release a million singles nor had a very long era and still managed it. GaGa only "did" it because of the re-release/second album/deluxe edition/blahblahblah. Britney can do that, if Jive releases the right singles and keep them in the airwaves. Instead of just caring about the beginning of the era, then killing it at the end with random choices.
