In comparison I remember Memoirs having as MDNA the treath of an "old" glory contending the #1 spot(Barbra)....still Memoirs sold less than MDNA (standing to early prediction)despite having a good hit(Obsessed) and making many show to promote!
Memoirs sold 550,000 copies on soundscan.. *just sayin'*

I think MDNA's prediction is surprising and VERY amazing. I never thought of such numbers. 175-220k was my initial prediction.

Yes and you predicted a final figures of 400K....looks like you were wrong.....or that's what I hope so

oh yeah, i remember.. yes, she will obviously outsell all my pessimistic predictions and rightfully so because the album is a great one.

I'm really glad that Madonna is still album to pull such numbers because her contemporaries all had a rough time the last few years.

I do think MDNA will end up selling similar numbers to Memoirs...

MDNA will easily top Memoirs:

USA: ~530-550k (soundscan)
international: 400k (shipment) lol

globally: 1,0 million with luck (Universal claimed 1.2 million).

MDNA should reach or top E=MC² too (=2,2-2,5 million)

I'll never understand the reason why Memoirs failed to reach 1.5 mln copies sold....To me it's a very intimate and brilliant record...but it's a personal opinion...

Anyway,getting back to the Queen, I'd be very happy if she could sell 2.5 - 3 mln... it would be amazing.
I do believe it'll stick to 1.8 - 2.0 mln WW.

i'm pretty sure, Madonna will at LEAST sell 2 million copies worldwide.

I have a positive feeling that this time tour will help the album sell. And if Tarantino shoots a video for Gang Bang, then the sales may explode i hope.

by **clh_hilary** » Thu Mar 29, 2012 1:25 pm

This shows promotions sell records better than hits...

I agree...if Tarantino shot a video for Gang Bang there would a sales explosion...we can't even imagine the buzz around it...and the track is huge!

I think that is a fair predections unless she pulls out a big hit however she will only show less and less attention to this album when the tour kicks off.

Agreed if QT directs a video this could do something with both the song and sales for the album.

Hmm.. I'd say between 300-400k in the US, 100-200k in the UK, 200-300k in the rest of Europe and 200-300k in the rest of the world. So worldwide between 800k and 1,2M.

More than 100k in UK is impossible.

I agree... I predict too at least 2 millions ww... tour will help sales, but I think there won't be any bigger hit from this album, if there was any, sales could be much bigger...
