But isn't that true of many artists' fan groups? Especially fans of Idols? I've seen the call for "sending to the troupes, gifting, etc" from fans of other idols.

For what it's worth, Willie Nelson is supposed to drop his new album on May 15th as well. It is called Heroes but is an album of duets. It could do well, but really difficult to estimate his fanbase now.

I find Norah Jones' numbers very interesting. Her numbers show how time and circumstances change.
The prediction for her first week sales is 95-105.
During her career she has sold over 1 million in first week sales - down to 180,000 and points inbetween.
I think Kelly Clarkson just hit it very lucky with her second album, Breakaway. She didn't even want Breakaway, the song, on her album but Clive Davis insisted. He was right. Breakaway opened the door for her, IMO. Without that song, she would not have broken away. heh.

Opening weeks for the past 10 months.
Kelly 163,000
Daughtry 128,600
Cook 46,000
I think Adam can do around Daughtry sales. Do not see Kris selling as much as Cook, so I think the 40,000 estimate for Kris is way too high.

Yes that's what i'm hoping for too, his number somewhere between Kelly & Daughtry, but big hope for more close to Kelly please.

me too, anything over 70k or so is gravy and great IMO, but your range makes sense to me. |

This was posted at Pulse on March 15th by the same guy who posted The numbers we got today: _____________________________ I don't know why people are surprised. Jack White's New Release Schedule estimate was 110k and The Wanted's estimate was 47k. Jason Mraz's estimate is 97k and Train's estimate is 100k. The New Release Schedule estimated 250k for Bruce Springsteen. Upcoming numbers: 3/13: One Direction 175k Ting Tings 25k 3/20: The Shins 100k Hunger Games Sdtk. 100k Cold Future 60k Melanie Fiona 38k Esperanza Spulding 32k 3/26: Madonna 205k Shinedown 90k Lionel Richie 65k All American Rejects 40k Katy Perry re-release 39k 4/3: Nicki Minaj 500k Rascal Flatts 180k Marvin Sapp 90k Remember, we have no idea how they compile these numbers. I'm sure some are based on pre-orders from retailers and the first week sales of the last release. ____________________________ How close were these estimates? Please don't make me look it up! I just read through 600 posts from this guy to find the last estimates he posted. He is a HUGE Madonna stan. I'm a little overwhelmed! |
