MICHAEL - First Week Sales - Competition!

3 million copies in first week???

:lol:

That would be a record. - But no way it will happen.
 
The record is 2.42 Million, held by *NSync (No Strings Attached), just so you all know ;)

I'm going to say between 550,000 and 700,000 :)
 
wouldn't it be amazing if each and every one of Michael's 20 million fans on Facebook went out and bought themselves a copy on the first day of release? I'd love that... *dreams*

:wild:that would be amazing of course. I hope all the members there are getting the album on the first day or first week. I would be getting mine too. I hope it will happen ! :angel:
 
How much have other artists recently sold? Like Kanye & Taylor's new album? Have those done good?

My guess for Michael first week worldwide sales would be 700,000.

Am I the only one in here that used a comma in the number?

Kanye didnt sell over 500,000 copies he sold almost 500,000.
1. Kanye West, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, 496,000. This new entry is West's fourth consecutive #1 album. Six songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Runaway" (featuring Pusha T), which jumps from #53 to #34..

Does anyone know predicted Japanese sales for 1st week? or any others?

I believe

UK is 150,000
US is 400,000

Just interested to know about the biggest markets.
 
400,000 first week US

450,000 international

TOTAL global sales of 850,000


OK, Smooth!

If You agree, we'll have a personal match up.

My thought, based on album sales in 2009: 1/3 of sales were in the US, 2/3 of sales were Rest World. This would mean 1,200,000 WW sales, as i expect 400,000 for US.
But as the US are strong first week buyers & in my opinion other countries not so much (especially my home country germany is sleepy), i'll have to be a little more 'cautious'..

851,000 global sales is my guess - so the 2 of us will have the direct comparison.

What i also wanted to say: I've not forgotten how You we're treated by some people, leading up to this moment! Many things been told which was not right! I for myself enjoy everyone of your posts, since back in July!
Everytime i see that you've posted, it's interesting to see what you've to say!
I wanted to state that, because everyone is going on here, like nothing has happend in "the case of sc05". You were right with your timeframe & most of your info. I think your credible source & i'm looking forward to more info from you in the future!

Best wishes..
 
Approximately 1 million first week worldwide.

So if 400, 000 in US.

150, 000 in UK.

450, 000 in other markets... Japan would be huge...I'm sure.
 
US: 400,000
Canada: 50,000
UK: 140,000
Japan: 120,000
Other: 140,000

TOTAL: 850,000


Sony have shipped 900,000 in the US, 100,000 in Canada, and 3,500,000 in other global markets. So total amount shipped altogether is 4,500,000. If more are needed, they will ship more.
