Predict Taylor Swift's 'Red' Opening first week sales- Over 1.2M OPENING SALES -IWIN

[MeMyselfAndI]

The options are:
Take into account the current climate & album sales atm
Under 500K
500K -600K
600K - 700K
700k-800k
800k-900k
900k- 1M

1.1M-1.2M
1.2M-1.3M
1.3M-1.4M
1.4M-1.5M
1.5M-2M
2M+

With 'I Knew You were Trouble' I think she may have lost some sales with Country fans

Will this break Born This Ways first week sales , hell will it break Britney Spears Female Record back in 2000 of 1.3 million? Will it even break Eminem's solo artist record two weeks after britneys with 1.7 million? Will it even break NSyncs Record of first week sales with 2.4 million. Will it fail to break 1 mill? Make your picks

(Born This Way did cheat and sell the album for like 1p on a day to beat Speak Now's sales of 1.05M)

[Roy Mars III]

2m+

[MeMyselfAndI]

I'll go with 1.1M.

[MeMyselfAndI]

2m+

I doubt it, Had it been 2005 It's probably go over that yes.

[Doogle]

At least 7 billion

[Marc]

62 million

[Brother Leon]

A Milli.

[Black Dagger]

4.

[MeMyselfAndI]

It sold just over 1.2M so I am the winner as I was the closest.
I'm not sure if it was over 1.2M in just the US or worldwide.

[MeMyselfAndI]

It did so good, Thrashed Lady Gaga even in this climate

Hits Daily Double has posted its final weekly sales data, and it confirms last week’s forecast: Taylor Swift’s “Red” delivered the biggest opening sales week of her career.

The Hits data, which usually falls within a close ballpark of the Nielsen SoundScan data used by Billboard, says that Swift moved approximately 1.210 million copies of her fourth studio album. “Speak Now,” its predecessor, was a massive success in its own right, generating roughly 1.047 million first week sales.

Billboard’s data will likely reveal a slightly different total, but unless there was a freak miscalculation, two things can now be officially concluded: “Red” sold more units than “Speak Now” and helped Swift become the first female in the SoundScan era to garner more than a million opening-week sales for two albums.

[Novo]

Flopped big time by the looks of it

[MeMyselfAndI]

Biggest album opening in ages :idc:

[MeMyselfAndI]

Taylor sells in a week what takes Chris Brown a year

[King Gizzard]

Was quite close with my prediction

[Shaun]

-is pleased with how close I was-

[MeMyselfAndI]

Taking into account this: The pace of million-sellers has slackened along with broader music sales, which have fallen by nearly 42% in the past 12 years. Sales have been hurt by Internet piracy and a variety of other factors.

It's probably one of the biggest album openers ever

[MeMyselfAndI]

It's great that it got UK #1 aswell. Time to bump the appreciation thread :elephant:

[Brother Leon]

Thought she would sell even more tbh. Dunno how Wayne sells a Mill first week ffs.

[MeMyselfAndI]

you expected her to sell more? You do realise this is the biggest first week opening sales for absoloutely ages

[MeMyselfAndI]

Lil Wayne's last album sold about 300k less than Taylor's did in the first week. (Also out in 2012)

[Brother Leon]

you expected her to sell more? You do realise this is the biggest first week opening sales for absoloutely ages

Considering Lil Wayne sold over a Million copies only late last year,yeah I did. Probably being too optimistic for her and underestimating that fool's fanbase.

[MeMyselfAndI]

I think It's the biggest album opening since Britney in 1999? (In 2012 sales aswell Is just so amazing)

[MeMyselfAndI]

Considering Lil Wayne sold over a Million copies only late last year,yeah I did. Probably being too optimistic for her and underestimating that fool's fanbase.

Taylor sold over 1.2M despite Itunes not working on the first day for her album :elephant:

[MeMyselfAndI]

The past twelve years, the only artists to have sold over 1M in a week are: Full List:
Taylor Swift (x2)
Lady Gaga(Cheated Selling Album for 99 cents)
Limp Bizkit
50 Cent
Eminem
Britney Spears
Norah Jones
Lil' Wayne
Backstreet Boys
'N Sync
Usher
Garth Brooks.

Considering Taylors done this twice now, probably puts her in the top 3 of these:D (I'm sure like a few of theese may have done it twice aswell, Assuming Eminem/Lil Wayne.)

[Brother Leon]

I have the 50 & Eminem albums :worship:

[MeMyselfAndI]

No ones gunna beat her record for the Tweenies (Decade 2010-2020), Considering record sales are so dire, she already has 2x 1m album in first week (2010) & (2012), I assume she could hopefully do it for her next album.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Taylor's records are easily the most impressive, having done it when Illegally downloads are so high :idc:

[MeMyselfAndI]

She actually sold about 1.45M First week, 1.2M+ Was US :amazed:
