Less than BTW. I'm going to guess around 500,000.

400k to 550k, second week will be 100k and after that it will struggle.

Um no. This will have longetivity unlike BTW

Yeah totally

But the question is.... Will it outsell BTW (6M) on the long run?

Well Born This Way had the benefits of The Fame + Monster hype. ARTPOP is just going to have the Born This Way era. I'd say she can do at least 400-500k, struggle for 1.5m at the end. The singles will do great though, I think.

No way, this album's getting minor promo. It took several investments to get BTW over 1M. Where's it now, 3-4M?

Is there going to be minor promo throughout to album campaign or just at the beginning? What's their reasoning?

With smash singles I don't see why not. BTW sold 6m with moderate singles and zero longetivity

[mariska]

All the people who think it's doing 300-400k probably thought BTW wouldn't go over a million.

I'm going for 500-700k.

[Sky Ferreira]

I'm expecting no less than 600K.

[Miichael]

Hard to say but I predict at least 600k-750k.

You're talking US numbers right?

[Cap10Planet]

It depends on the first single and amount of promo. If she's releasing it in the beginning of the year, I doubt she sees huge numbers like that. The first quarter is usually a dead period for sales, and she wouldn't be riding off a huge era.

Around 300K. But, better question do you think she will use another Amazon deal?

It doesn't matter. They wouldn't count the first week anyway.

The damage is done but its not too late for her. If she chooses the right singles and smashes than she should be fine and probably pull 5+ million. She needs to win the general public over again

[ddeizaguirre]

I may sound delusional but whatever.. Some people don't get this is gaga.. She always gets discredited and always predicted to do the "minimal" and always ends up exceeding expectations.. Whatever she's a flop

[Jeffsuxx]

2.000.000

500K +

Depends if she promotes it whilst touring North America or after. I was under the impression that the album was going to help support the American part of the tour, but now it's Spring 2013. I still have no idea what the fudge happened there

I know. This era will be big, she has a massive dedicated fanbase. And if she plays her cards right I don't see how she can't sell over 500k

[iGomezHubby]

500k US. WW maybe a million or 900k.

the GaGa hype is dead. tbh she was huge at her peak, yes. but so were beanie babies.
