Mediatraffic has it at 1,921,000 sales first week though.

We use MT because there's nothing else tracking WW sales but you do realize that it's far from 100% accuracy right ?

So Gaga's label reporting 80K sales more doesn't sound like a reach or over-shipment.

I know it's not 100% accurate thanks but you do realize that labels report shipments and not actual sales + tend to over-estimate total sales just for the hype, right?

 

Also, let's not forget to put the asterisk.

1,921,000*

This thread is literally about your fave's label reporting 2M, so what is the difference between them and Interscope reporting BTW's 2M ?

 

 

It's just not realistic.

That's not 100 percent accurate. Sales are more than that

Never said they were right about Reputation neither.

So if we go compare label and MT numbers.

 

Reputation

1.6M vs 2M => 400k/1.6m x 100 = 25% difference. 

 

Born This Way 

1.9M vs 2M => 100k/1.9M x 100 = 5% difference. 

 

 

Taking into account a margin of error from MT's random estimates, it seems like Gaga's label was most likely right, while Taylor's might have overshipped. 

 

MT would have to be wrong by a whooping 25% for Taylor's numbers to be real. Can you imagine? 

 

The album did like 300K+ in China which MT doesn’t really track so it’s possible
