Glad physical copies are selling more now.

Word...

still no projections?

We won't get any, they keep it a surprise every Thanks Giving.

Well that fucking sucks! I expect similar sales this week anyway.

id say we will get some predictions tonight

[Francesco]

Not a big deal for me to be honest... I'd rather have a slight bump in sales 'cuz of Thanksgiving comes next week.

[Francesco]

So I guess it will really have some slight bump huh?

YOUR BLACK FRIDAY TOP 15 (PLUS 3): Doing projections on Black Friday is like a blind man playing darts with his back to the board--things can land anywhere. Eminem, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Justin Timberlake, among others, are all on sale for $7 at Walmart and Target. Meanwhile, Amazon and Google are waging an online battle, with digital albums as low as $1.99, including Avicii, Ariana Grande, Fall Out Boy and Kanye West. This makes things a little difficult to pin down. One thing’s for certain, though: One Direction will debut at #1. Here's how it looks going into Black Friday.

*One Direction (SYCO/Columbia) 550-575k
Eminem (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) 180-190k
Katy Perry (Capitol) 130-140k
The Robertsons (EMI Nashville) 115-125k
Lady Gaga (Interscope) 105-115k
Kelly Clarkson (RCA) 90-100k
*Garth Brooks (Pearl) 80-90k (Walmart Exclusive)
Miley Cyrus (RCA) 80-90k
Now 48 (UMe) 75-85k
Justin Timberlake (RCA) 65-75k
Drake (Young Money/Cash Money/Republic) 65-75k
Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville) 65-75k
Florida Georgia Line (Republic Nashville) 50-60k
Imagine Dragons (KidinaKorner/Interscope) 50-60k
*A Day To Remember (ADTR) 45-55k

[Mathers]

Great sales.

[Hamza1972]

The key sentence: "Doing projections on Black Friday is like a blind man playing darts with his back to the board--things can land anywhere."

I think 200k+ for MMLP2 is very likely especially considering the fact MMLP2 is still new. Em's sales are typically also more difficult to accurately predict.

Projection numbers are fucking nice... I guess it really could hold on with 100k+ numbers until Christmas.
It looks like it'll definitely be 2xPlat in January.

Great WW sales as well...

I thought they discounted everything on BF

Yes they do. That's why Gaga and Katy are selling good this week.

But MM lp2 has gone down to no.6 on itunes US...will this affect sales? itunes doesn’t discount MM lp2 though...and by the way, Recovery backs to #40...lol
