Final projected figure for USA opening:

 

#2--136,000

 

This is the official final projection? Too low, but let's hope for longevity :down:

Please, stay positive, I 'm sure she will do more, maybe 150K or 170k. In France she starded last year at 90K and nobody thought she could do that.

No, that's not logical thinking at all - that's you adding 2 + 2 and getting 5.

 

I accept that many people - including me - were expecting her to top 300,000 copies first week. But ultimately, she did 50% more than her previous album in its first week, which is more than the industry standard for female artists.

 

The problem these days is that chart watchers expect too much.

 

I'm not gonna argue about it ( especially because I really don't care about Perry's sales) but after the big success of TD, the first sales of Prism was for sure set to be bigger than the previous album.

 

Nothing to be surprised by.

 

And that's without mentionning Roar's impact is bigger than Teenage Dream...

I see what u meant.

 

I thought Prism would have a huge sales because the song and the promotion all over the place, it's like the moon, where ever you go it's following you that what's make me hate her in the end because it's kinda annoying if it's too much.

I think LMBTL will debut with 200,000 copies in the U.S. (yep! higher sales number than the projected figure) :P Edited by GoldenLeaf

If she sells 136k in Us, then she might sell over 400k worldwide since she always sells 2/3 of her copies outside US. This album will probably surpass the debut sales of 'Sans Attendre' in Canada since it's an English album. 'A New Day Has Come' & 'One Heart' both had bigger debut sales than '1 Fille & 4 Types', and 'Taking Chances' bigger than 'D'elles'. What do you guys think?

tbh, i am kinda worried about the sales of this album, the heap is not even half huge of taking chances era.. I often think cbs special was the X factor that could propel the sales in the US and she is not having one this year, with no major TV performance award show or oprah, she is counting on holiday season buying power.

The industry has changed so much since Taking Chances was released. I'd love to see huge numbers but I have no high expectation. 90k-115k.

Some of these numbers some people are mentioning are impossible. I agree with whoever said people are expecting too much (even when numbers are there for everyone to see).

Yeah. I'm scared on what will happen if she release an album in the US without Oprah or a CBS Special. The promotion in the US is very poor and pathetic!

WE ALL LAUGHED, WE ALL MOCKED, WE ALL THOUGHT HE WAS OUT OF HIS BLOODY MIND!

 

Alas, he wasn't. The winner of the Guess The Opening Week sales estimate contest is...Nando Ferri.

 

He made a bold estimate of 80,000 first week copies - exactly the same projected estimate of HDD!

 

Of course, the final sales tally might be more than this! But its doubtful.

 

Well done Nando!

 

Most of us made some form of outrageous comment in this thread, but none moreso than me! :giggle:

Please postpone the drama until we know the official ACTUAL f*(&%ng figures.

 

Why wasting all this time and effort without even knowing anything official?

The album still might sell 120 000 in US.. thus, we have no clue until we know for sure.

can't believe it's only going to do 80k.

 

My parents have been big Celine fans their whole lives (like me) and they bought the new cd. They like it. but you know, my mom's favorite songs were "At Seventeen" "Overjoyed" and "Unfinished Songs"--so there ya go. If she sang At Seventeen or Overjoyed on some talk shows she may actually, get higher numbers. Because as much as we hate to face it---it's the long time "soccer moms" and older generation---"Michael Buble" buyers and Josh Groban buyers getting her music.

 

She has been doing really young shows--Fallon--Kimmel, etc. Singing very modern song--WHICH I LOVE! and it's great--but she needs to let buyers that may have shyed away from buying, that it's still classic Celine. B)

Well, thank you, but I will not do that. More likely I'll waste my time reading all the emotional fag tragedies here.

Besides, mines wasn't intended as ad hominem.

 

Nonetheless; I hope that you know I sincerely respect your knowledgable additions to the chart discussions (really).

So if the first week sales in the US are 80.000, then I think the album will have sold about 1.5 mln. copies worldwide in total. Which is kinda... well.. it'd be her first english-language album not oversolding the french one.

 

D'eux: 10 mln. / FIY 32 mln.

SSD: 6 mln. / LTAL 31 mln.

1F4T: 2.5 mln / OH: 7 mln.

D'elles: <1 mln. / TC: 3.5 mln.

SA: 1.4 mln. / LMBTL (???)

You're forgetting about worldwide sales! she's doing a lot better in Europe than she is in the US. Anyway, 1.5 million is good for an album in 2013! SANS ATTENDRE was just massive and exceptional.
