charts discussion Final: Ariana 355K; #2 Gaga; #10 Kacey; Meghan sells 3.5K

[Mark Rih]

It will end in the 350-375K region imo, which would be amazing.

Anything > 325-330K is a win (+100K from previous debut, only 6 month ago, with promo and tour bundles)

She did tour bundles? I don't remember.

 

OT: Ariana runs pop!

[Ger]

She could debut with 400k. C'mon Queen.  

[ChrisTheLoner]

Awesome! I can totally see it doing 375-400K by the end of the tracking week

These are the numbers I wanted to see  

[Glo]

I will be very satisfied with 350k 

[Sinister]

And shes doing no televised promo spots right? Geesh

[Chainsmoker]

She could've locked 400k with Grammys or SNL Promo.

[Jet]

Yay I knew they'd rise but not that much. It could totally finish with 375-400k

I think y’all forget that the trajectory for streaming heavy albums is way different than the trajectory for pure sales heavy albums. Post Malone and Drake debuted with way less than Reputation but both their albums ended up way bigger.  Streaming isn’t about the first week. It serves longevity.

STOMP STOMP STOMP

[Scandalous]

wow she should've done tour bundles too for an extra push

[Bribe]

I knew they were underestimating her

NASA single-handedly increasing the predictions like that 

[Aristocrat]

350k... ugh so much better! 

[ahzark97]

Ok this is fantastic for her standards 

[Bxtch]

Another day, another slay

But Monsters and Swifties told me it was flopping?

 

Hopefully the numbers rise to 400k

Most Swifties are Ariana fans. 

Taylor’s album sales are an anomaly. Ariana is a pop force in her own right. These are great numbers for Ari! Glad to see back to back successful eras, even though I’m still bitter that Breathin wasn’t the smash it deserved to be.

[Yog]

Much better 

[Ivan_brit]

350k Debut is fantastic!!  

 

I hope she keeps increasing

Taylor used Rep to launch the biggest female tour in history so not sure how Reputation wasn't as big of an album

[Mezter]

That's so much better

[Diarrhoea]

Much better

Tours are separate from albums. Scorpion has done more SPS units than Reputation and B&B either has already or will surpass it soon.
