Born This Way First Week Sales Predictions

Post your prediction for first week sales of the album.

I'm gonna go with 550k-650k.

Anything less than 500k will be dissapointing.

I have a strong feeling it's not going to sell nearly as well as expected in it's first few weeks. But it'll sell continously throughout the year and eventually sell high numbers.

cream.

But in all fairness she is in that class, Lady GaGa is in the genre that Britney, Katy, Kesha, Rihanna etc.. are in. But at the end of the day, first week sales topics are so...so....1999-2000, regardless what she moves and i think she will move in the 500-600 thousand range week one and then drop like a stone, u have to remember that the Backstreet Boys and Nynsc both sold about a million in one day, so yeah its a great acheivment blah blah blah, but its irrelevant in terms of being an artist. When she has a about 8 albums in her catalog then we can talk.

The buzz here in Asia is tremendous.

I would say 300-400k first week.

Probably steady, if not astounding sales, for the next year.

Unless it's predicted to do so by those chart stats folks, I doubt it'll reach that many.

I was just being a wise ass. Not a Britney fan at all, but I like Gaga. As much as Duran Duran? No.

I do like to support (both) newer acts as well as my veteran faves. I expect her to sell over 400,000 though.

Im on the fence with GaGa, i mean she seems to want to be taken seriously but im still not there, her music is catchy, but so is Rihanna and Katy Perry, so im still not at the point where i can get hyped for her music releases, Britney i honestly dont mind, i think she has actually gotten better with age, i understand the dislikes of her as with all pop artists, i mean loads of people love Beyonce and tons hate her too, same with Alicia Keys Justin Timberlake etc...

Im still going to still with the seasoned artists putting out stellar albums to this day, like a Duran Duran or the cars etc...

Unholyalliance

She's a pretty popular artist not only in the US like most of her competition, bar Britney Spears, but she's pretty huge internationally as well. She's probably going to do near a million in sales and then probably drop off sometime later seeing only spikes when a new video comes out.

Her biggest sales will always come digitally. Actually, this reminds me how I'm super glad that I don't hear anything about Taylor Swift anymore. That shit was really painful.
