"Mark my words: I will bet you 'Teenage Dream' will sell more than ["One of the Boys"]," another senior label sales executive says. " 'Teenage Dream' will be one of those 'at the end of the day' records."
The real drag is that while both have the same sales in the US, GGGB has sold 8.5M WW, while TD is barely past the 6M mark despite all the discounts, promo and a movie dedicated to the album
It's the tenth best selling album this decade in the US. 2.7M is 2.7M.
I will never know why it pisses people off when artists sell singles and albums. Like, Britknee nor Justine are seeing TD's #'s again.
How does that change the fact that it sold poorly?
When did it sell an extra 1.5 million copies from the 7 million at the end of 2009?
During the 3.5 years? And it was at 7.5M at the end of 2009. Seeling 1M in 3.5 years isn't that hard, especially when it's sold like 500K in the UK alone.

BYE with your LIES It sold 7 million between 2007 and 2008, and has COMFORTABLY sold another 1.5 million in the 4.5 years since then considering Rihanna has been active all the damn time with no breaks.

Good Girl Gone Bad had a re-release AND a remix album AND was released in 2007.
In the end, Teenage Dream as an era was more successful than any era from Rihanna.
Real talk.
