That's not a fair comparison because Selena and her band are a totally different group, plus their labels are vastly different. Hollywood Records is a joke and let their artists' albums die from lack of promo.clh_hilary wrote:Even in the past few years, teen acts plateau at around 2 million copies in total album sales so this really is not a surprise. They will sell better than say Selena Gomez & the Scene at least.
I think the third week is the most important. It'll show us if he album balances off or if it sinks.phoenix98 wrote:HDD FINAL:

so 176,000 + 55,000 = roughly 231,000 total, but we'll see what numbers SoundScan has.
Leveling out and still top 10. Thats great.phoenix98 wrote:HDD Final:

a much tamer drop this week! so 232,000 + 49,000 = roughly 281,000 total.
What? I was just saying they'll sell better than Sel. And both JBs definitely peaked around the 2 million copies mark. It definitely looks like 2-3 million copies is the mark for teeny acts. But 1D is a boyband so they may also get the gay crown and eventually the mainstream crowd and be like BSB and *Nsync.TrinidadNavy wrote:That's not a fair comparison because Selena and her band are a totally different group, plus their labels are vastly different.

A better comparison would be Jonas Brothers or even Justin Bieber.
The first single hasn't even peaked yet, so I think it has at least 2 months in it, before we see the second single impacting. They shouldn't rush. I think 1D is here to stay.
