Like can we be realistic. No one is being pressed, or anything. I for one realize that Born this Way will outsell Femme Fatale's lifespan in one week....HOWEVER, lets not be blind to the facts.

If she doesn't sell 1 million copies the first week, you're all gonna call the album a flop and say it didn't sell enough considering its promo.

Seriously, make up your ****ing minds.

That's ATRL for you.

I'm dealing with it just fine, I just think this entire thread is ridiculous.

She's in a lose/lose situation period.

Some of the GaGa stans need more faith in Mother Monster. How many times can you doubt this woman only to be proven wrong again and again. I feel like she probably will sell more than a million...although, I understand. Preparing for the worst (what you are all doing now) and secretly hope for the best.

Ok, here's an accurate estimation. It is reported that 2.5 million people went to see the Monster Ball. Some of them probably went more than once. So, I'd say 1.75 million people actually saw it, some just went multiple times. I'd say at least 75% of them will buy the album. However, that is worldwide. Current tally worldwide: 1.5 million. Then you have all the people who will buy the album, but didn't go to the concert. I'll put that around 750k million. This is all still worldwide, so she will sell maybe 2.25 million worldwide. Now, let's split it up by continent;

Canada; 500k
U.K.; 350k
Europe; 400k
Australia; 100k
Japan; 100k

Alright, so those totals add up to 1.45m. My predicted total was 2.25, and that leaves the U.S. at around 800k.

I think this is reasonable.

500k in CANADA !?!?!? LMAOOOOO. A great opening week in Canada is 50k.

A little over a month ago i made a post about how unrealistic expectations were begin birthed by non-GAGA fans in a desperate and shamelessly transparent attempt to certify her first weeks sales numbers as "floppish", no matter what they were...


They laid the foundation then, and today they flooded out from the forest to build atop that very foundation. I called it.

Right, and when she opened with more than 1M, they said it was because she was country

I don't think they'll all buy it in the first week. Some of those shows were more than a year ago.

Not even Celine Dion and Madonna combined at their primes could ever sell 500k in 1 week in Canada.

BTW will sell 60,000 - 80,000 first week there.

Maybe 1 mill is a bit of a reach, but is she doesn't pull huge numbers it will be an underperformance for her, especially for the amount of promo she has got right now. But it is a shame some members have to turn this into something its not.

[muddysquirrel]

I have heard rather opposite opinions about this album...not everyone is loving this new direction she has taken. Could factored in sales.

Best Buy 7,99$- is it really gonna help that much? How much of the musical market does Best Buy have-20%?

YESSS the tea has been spilled. Let's all pray for the pressed souls now.

[Last Boy on Earth]

The little monsters actually think we really will consider it as flop if it sells less than !M, we're just exagerating, of course it's not a flop, it's just that with this promo 1M is the most likety to happen.
