First predictions for Harry Styles album: "just north of 200K"

Good numbers

Do albums normally stay pretty consistent or do they tend to fall like single predictions do? 

I don't get it, how can they predict it already?

 

Wow, very good! :o

This hasn't even been released, so take it with a grain of salt. It will probably change for better or for worse once the first day sales are in.

o mess I thought it was out already  

King  Although they should wait till it's out for accurate numbers.

Not as good, but deserved for releasing that kind of music

legend people thinking he'd do less than Zayn

 

Those aren't that great of numbers for an $80 million record deal 

pure sales or with SPS? either way impressive numbers 

Come through king

These are based on Preorders.

i don't think he will over perform that much. 175-225K is probably where it will lands 

It's good, his music is great, it's not generic or trend chasing or radio candy so yeah. Could've been more, but it's still great for a debut with that sound !

Meh, I'd wait, it's not like HDD has a great track record of doing predictions this early... or in general tbh.

He got an 80 million record deal???  

HDD usually didn't get their prediction right, but I would be really surprised if Harry outsells Zayn

this will most likely srop to 150k but still alright I guess

They're not expecting him to make that much at the beginning. Right now it's mostly the 1D fans who are looking out for him, but the bet is that in the long term he will establish himself as the Rock force of music today and that's where the money will be made.

 

I think people today have forgotten how the industry is supposed to be based on artistic development.

sounds about right

Serving Joanne first week sales 

KING.

HDD also posted Zayn would do over 200K+ a week before his release.

He ended up doing 157K. Not saying that I don't see it for Harry, but I expected similar if not less, seeing that Sign of the Times debuted lower than PILLOWTALK. If he does meet the prediction though congrats to him.
