The Pool: How many copies will TCH sell in its first week?

[Céline's Blues]

I say it will sell around 200 000 in the vein of Falling Into You.

[Tal]

Yup, I think less then 300K

[VinnyT.]

My chart prediction for Nov. 13:

 

#1 Britney around 500k

#2 Alicia around 400k

#3 Celine around 300-350k

[speedy]

I think about 300K, music market has chnace since 2003 again, and now the only ones that sold 500K o more are R&B/ Hip hop singers

[celinefan1985]

I am going at 278K if TC, the single, doesn't take off more than it has and promo is so so.

Going in at 402K if single takes off and the massive media blitz we were told to expect materialize!

[Lisi_Dion]

I would say about 500K....at least I hope so

[celinerific]

I don't want to speak numbers, so I'll just say...

I hope it's a lot.

[Jeanine]

Around 200-300K I guess, But there's some promotion needed for it.. Well let's hope it's a lot. Edited October 3, 2007 at 08:07 PM by Jeanine

[Taking Chances]

That's hard to say. I just hope it becomes very successful.

[celinelover50]

well im sorry to say but i think its going to be a flop like miracle!!!!!!

as much as im excited about it....i dont think others will be!

celine now has to work harder to get noticed as she has lost her voice.....still not the same ! i do think that titanic made celine but i also believe it has broke her too....as everytime people think of her they think of titanlc

[Céline's Blues]

You have to consider it WILL be successful but surely not in its first week sales. It needs time, it has legs but don't expect wonders.

[Céline's Blues]

celine now has to work harder to get noticed as she has lost her voice.....

On crack or LCD?

[tal-sh2]

300,000 copies I think.

 

Well, if they'll do more promotion maybe more.

[manilou]

Bad sales for the first week at least in the USA

 

1) Alicia

2) Britney

3) NElly

4) Celine

[dj4celine]

One question: Since when did Billboard 200 become Billboard 2000??

 

Back to the thread, I just hope that TC sells more than Britney

[Shaun]

Certainly wouldn't expect it to sell less than "One Heart" during opening week.

[dj4celine]

Shaun, Ronny or any of the moderators... could u please edit the sub title of the thread and correct the mistake? The Billboard 2000 thing

[William2005]

I say Taking Chances will debut in the nice range of 350-400,000. If she is on Oprah before that, raise those figures.

[KimboCosmo]

I believe it will do fine...

Rascal Flatts (? never heard of them) sold 547, 000 in it's debut this week

Reba McEntire Duets sold 301, 000 it's debut week

 

So I'm guessing Céline's debut HAS to sell more than those!!!

 

My guess 555,000 since Céline's lucky number is 5 and Nielsen SoundScan rounds to the nearest thousand.

TOTALLY!!!!!!! her voice on this CD is better than ever and ranges from raspy & raw (TJTWIM) to crystal clear (long note on EOM) have you got a listen to "Alone"?????...and not just her craft but her style.....I haven't been so existed for one of her CDs for a long time...and this time is grrrrrrreat...plus is the first time that my friends are changing views 'bout the "titanic" artist...they luuuuuuuuuuuuved Alone and taking chances....

 

 

The sales rank is not on her hands is just a matter of SONY/BMG if they really push it the album is going to do AMAZING!!!! if not...well....it's going to be considered as one of those jewels on music history that were amazing but didn't quite make it on sales...jajaja...as an indie album...jajaja

 

 

and then they're gonna ask her for the next CD to stick to ballads

[VinnyT.]

Certainly wouldn't expect it to sell less than "One Heart" during opening week.

OH sold 433k in its first week. And they're such high figures for a #2. I don't think TCH will reach these figures.

Not another pool...!

[deelicious07]

Ok, why would people go out and buy Britney Spears' CD? Are you kidding me? But then again, some people are not so smart. I could only hope that Celine can crush both Britney and Alicia.

 

My chart prediction for Nov. 13:

 

#1 Britney around 500k

#2 Alicia around 400k

#3 Celine around 300-350k

[Nando Férri]

I guess 240.000 copies. That's it...

[Andrei Dion]

I think 265k copies.
