Tremor Christ Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 3 hours ago, TSLGNMA said: Wow. I'm shocked kind of, but I still expect 700k, didn't Billboard call like 600k for 1989 at this stage? Oh god... They predicted that because they didn't know how it would do. They predicted 1,5m-2m for Adele because the numbers are too big and hype was too strong, they predicted 200k for Beyonce's ST because they had no idea how it would perform at all. but in this case, unless a big boost happens, i don't see this prediction being off. Those examples were anomalies, meanwhile this is a traditional release and Ed's US stats aren't even huge compared to UK. don't understand why people expected Drake numbers. (Well i also think he'll do 400k-500k SPS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody said he was anything close to Taylor, let alone Adele. That doesn't mean 350-400k isn't still extremely underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkboy Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 1989 was released in Fall 2014, 25 in Fall 2015. Comparing them isn't very right However I think hes gonna do more SPS wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not ridiculous at all to have expected more, as most people did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilencePlease Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) I hope he doesn't sell too much. I don't like him as a person and his music is overrated. Edited March 4, 2017 by SilencePlease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex21kw Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Anything below 500k is an underperformance. Of course other artists struggle as well and compared to them 500k is good, but I thought he had risen to Swift/Drake status in terms of album sales. WW he'll do amazing it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock That Beat... Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I mean Ed only started becoming big after X. And now Shape of You is MASSIVE, but I bet many people have JUST been getting into him. Still this number is not what I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
