Sadly I’m not gonna be surprised if BTS only do around 200k-250k sales first week tbh, Bighit are f***ing up and have only released a deluxe version that costs $50 usd for pre-order, which is way too expensive for most fans to buy and it doesn’t look like they’re gonna release a standard version anytime soon.

that makes no sense, that album legitimately has potential to have the biggest debut of the year smh

yup, it's even worse because said deluxe version is only limited in quantity. There's still some weeks till the album releases so they have time to release a standard version but it's not looking good at all.

I've seen some people say on twitter that they might be stalling the standard till November 20th as they might be going for longevity, which is dumb imo.

it also seems that Ariana might've set expectations too high with thank u next, I think positions is only gonna do somewhere in that same 200k-250k range.

pretty underwhelming

yup, about what I expected

total sales will be around 220k-ish i think

If she don’t outsell DLDT...

this is incredibly mediocre. and given the reception to the album it's more likely to decrease than increase.

TUN had 2 #1 singles prior to release

Then another single the day the album released

Obv it's selling more than a 1 week rollout

guess i was right
TUN was obviously always gonna be her peak

yeah this whole rollout felt kinda rushed, selling obviously wasn't her point but it would've been better to save this album till next year imo, with a longer rollout.

JIK OUTSOLD ARIANA

She spoke on it in the interview

She wants to release more frequently and wasn't concerned with pop hits

AK just said trippie redd is projected 70-75k

this pic from wikipedia is so simple

And not 100% accurate. Streams are tiered

how many units is higher weighted streams?

1250, I think

this was a f***ing shambles of a rollout though so its hard to assess that yet
