I'd be shook if she can sell even just 40% of Hello's debut. That would be 445k... I don't think that's even possible in this climate. She will for sure sell 100k+ tho.

The absolute minimum would be 275k The biggest opening week this year was 127k for Drake's "God's Plan" and that was over 7 months ago... By the time she releases, digital sales would have dropped most likely double of what they had dropped back then. If she doubles Drake (which would be insane) that would put her at 254k... I would say the maximum she will sell would be 200k-220k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet sold more than 30k with "No Sleeep" and only made the Top 70 on the Billboard Hot 100. I feel like the only way to help is if the streaming services charges more by having tiers like tier 1 allows you to have access to all music including albums, tier 2 you have to wait a month for the album to be available (like how DVDs come out for movies) or you only have access to songs on the artist playlist but not songs listed under albums idk just some incentives with a higher cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridayteenage Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) hmm, based on wiki we have one 30k or less so far: 29k for BTS. remember when people dragged taylor for doing more than 10x that last year? whew Edited August 23, 2018 by fridayteenage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true!!! They really need to go back 99 cents or just make 69 cents. Then the discounts can be 55 cents or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, from 2018's releases, the best-selling is "God's Plan" and that has barely scrapped 1M pure sales after 7 whole months. We don't even know when Adele is releasing, but as months pass, digital sales will only sink further. I don't understand your comparison with Taylor. Summer 2017 /=/ whenever Adele releases.

Despite digital sales died, they're still very random especially with huge comebacks. The best selling song in 2015 was doing around 130-150k first week, Adele did almost 10 times more.. So it's very possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
