Predict The life of a showgirl's debut numbers on spotify and billboard 200. 
 

180M streams

1.7M units

2,7M first week #1

1.8m BB200

172m Spotify 

 

I think Swifties are setting themselves up with 3m+ debut

Spotify:

Probably: 240M-260M 

Outdo expectations: 280-310M+ 

 

BB200

Probably: 2.5-2.8M 

Outdo expectations: 3M+

280M-320M

2M-2,5M

Hopefully 0.

2.5 million

 

If she's within 200-300k units of 3 million/the record itself, I think she'll do a big digital push. 

190M first day streams

2.5M first week sales

Don't set her up omg

Spotify: 189M

BB200: 2.1M

 

200M Spotify debut

 

Billboard 200: 

BB200:  I do think this could do slightly over 2M.  But let's be honest, anything over 1 million is insane.  
 

Spotify:  180M. Midnights had 8 more songs, but Spotify has grown since then.  
 

UK:  300k. An album made in Europe; and first since the euro leg of the eras tour.  I think this will be her biggest debut here. 
 

Globally: 4 million.  The Anglo countries alone I see getting close to 3 million.  I don't know what the market situation in China is these days, but with that we could see something north of 5 million. 

Spotify: 200M

BB200: 2.5M

The problem is that new digital drops during the week don't count anymore, she needs to announce everything by this friday. She better announce the tour with buyers of the album having priority for the tour sale. This would probably give it a significant push

Some of you all are so wrong for thinking it won't debut with at least 2M units 

 

Spotify: 200-240M

BB200: 2.2M-2.8M

Omg we'd demolish the record if this was the case. Manifesting!

BB200: For some reason I can't really picture anything in the 2-3M ballpark. Like it'll either be sub-2M and be a bit disappointing because of her ridiculous standards (although absolutely insane in and of itself), or over 3M and be a complete gag. So 1.8 or 3.2M. 

 

Spotify: Probably around 200M. 

2.5-2.7M copies 

i am predicting it will be a positive integer

60-70K #3 on Billboard 

I guess it will be a typical Taylor situation. Some will downplay until Friday it and predict below 2M. Than the first estimates come in and paint a picture of her doing numbers above 2.5M. Than magically, the predictions will be very high and unreachable, and people will tell what she has done wrong to hit 3M or break Adele's record.
