ORACULAR SPECTACULAR: Based on early, early sales, it appears that Foo Fighters (Roswell/RCA) will score the week’s top debut at about 200k. Pink Floyd (Columbia) and Garth Brooks (Pearl/RCA Nashville) are on a collision course for the runner-up slot, with each trending toward 140k. These numbers all but assure that Taylor Swift will spend a third week at #1. Her previous album, Red, experienced a third-week decay of 43% which, if 1989 follows a similar trend, suggests a total somewhere around 225k. Keep in mind, however, there’s always some uncertainty surrounding Monday projections, and things could look very different tomorrow morning. (11/11a)

So close to Bey's numbers.

Bey did 310k on her third week.

[Bloomers]

I didn't know the new Foo Fighters album was out. Let me go get my copy.

Nice sales projections. Happy to see these numbers. Congrats to Taylor and Garth

Wouldn't be surprised to see Garth's sales go way up though.

I see. Thanks.

So around 175-200k next week I suppose. No risk of blocking 1D then.

[Sensation]

I'm not surprised Taylor is holding well. She has 2 hit singles at the moment.

[abrahamjmr]

Great sales. We're finally getting three albums over 200k.

[Willy.]

Great album sales.
