2 MILLION FOR TAY? THE BIBLE BUMBLES AGAIN

 

Despite the Bible’s nutty formulation for her to reach 2 million first week, analysts are predicting Taylor Swift’s reputation (Big Machine/BMLG) will debut under 1.5m unless she adds a major ticket bundle—or Billboard’s John Amato makes another huge rule change for her in exchange for a meet-and-greet with the staff of a Del Taco in Bensonhurst. That’s entirely plausible, given Amato’s general spinelessness and the Bible’s propensity for changing rules like they’re light bulbs (witness the recent YouTube chart debacle). With album and track sales down 36% since 2014, when 1989 was released, insiders question the assumption that Swift can exceed her previously album’s sales by 700-800k.

 

Of course, anything’s possible with the savvy Swift, and there’s every possibility she’s got something unforeseen in her back pocket to make those numbers. But it’s not happening by the Bible’s lumpy arithmetic.

Whatever the numbers are, she's coming for blood so...

Didn't HDD predict she may break Adele's record?

[alestevens]

They conveniently forgot they put it out there that she could rival Adele's opening numbers i see.

Billboard's article clearly said:

With the full breadth of the Swift promotional campaign for Reputation now unfolding, UPS pre-orders notwithstanding, tallying up the the rest of the industry projections amounts to about 1.4 million units, better than first week sales of 1989, but short of Big Machine's big forecasts.

2 million is her label's expectation.

 

I'm usually here for HDD dragging Billboard but they are just being typical OBH.

i think she could easily do more than 1.4, i mean after all that silent pandering to certain demographics, why not. she could literally pull a trump

This.

 

Also, HDD not mentionning the 2M figure comes from Taylor's label, NOT Billboard. I wonder why huh . Their hatred for Billboard is pathetic
