unapologeticheart 872 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I think she will at least do 100-150K first week in the US tbh. And with all the performances scheduled she can sell more in the weeks after. I'm more worried about the second week's sales than the first week tbh . I don't want another MDNA second week drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melrose95 172 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 ^ I think Madonna is aware of that, hence the 1 week with EllenAnd also tour rehearsals probably wont even START until late May/early June, so word is that Madonna plans to continue the promo through March, April and MayIncluded The Iheart radio awards and Letterman's final episodesVery smart moves Fighter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilpray 2,390 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Actually devilpray, I think that MDNA's opening week was Much higher than what was projectedFans everywhere on every Madonna forum SWORE that she wouldn't touch HC's first week numbers, since she didn't have a huge hiy single like 4M with MDNABut that second week drop.. Yeah, you're right. I meant the second week sales :mama003: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unapologeticheart 872 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 At least we can be sure she will never do first week numbers like Mariah or JLo devilpray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groovyguy 63,869 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 I think Rebel Heart has a very good chance of debuting at #1 on Billboard 200. Strong pre-orders + different album versions with different cd artwork + tour ticket & album bundling for first few cities should give M a pretty good debut sales for the first week. As for the second week, the 5 performances on Ellen and more album bundles should cushion the second week drop well . The 2 main competitions for Rebel Heart on the US album chart are: [*]Spring Break EP by Luke Bryan [containing 6 tracks from his last EP which debut with 74,000 copies sold and 5 new tracks] [*]Empire Soundtrack from the hottest new TV series On January 9th, 2015, Billboard published an article saying pre-orders were at 50-60k. "with preorders for Rebel Heart at a robust (considering the situation) 50,000 to 60,000, according to industry estimates."Plus more pre-orders from Feb. 9. = more than 60k in pre-orders. The pre-orders alone is a strong indicator that it will sell much more than these recent diva albums in the USA: [*]Mariah Carey: Me... I am Mariah. 58,000 [*]Jennifer Lopez: A.K.A. 33,000 [*]Mary J. Blige: The London Sessions 55,000 [*]Cher: Closer to the Truth 63,000 [*]Celine Dion: Loved Me Back to Life 77,000 devilpray and Fighter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groovyguy 63,869 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 For RIAA certifications, the Super Deluxe will count as TWO copies sold towards being certified Gold or even Platinum as the Super Deluxe is over 100 minutes at 101:51 Minutes!! RIAA's criteria for gold/platinum certification: http://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinum.php?content_selector=criteria Multi-Disc Set Requirements: *Each unit within set counts as one unit toward certification.*Minimum running time 100 minutes.

madgefan 10,239 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Can you believe I just received the message from iTunes informing that the rest of the Rebel Heart tracks were already online to be downloaded thanks to the pre-order! LOL I thought I'd never be able to get the whole thing since there were people saying they had the album since last Friday. I guess the Chilean store sticked to the original release plan between the 8-10 March. I feel relieved, I have my own iTunes release with the original dates releases: 12/20/14, 02/09/15 and today 03/08/15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleb 87 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Rebel Heart album advertisements in Time Square. ik other people have said it, but this is fake. although wishing it was real, the left pic with her face turned is made by a designer called Flamboyant.

stfan97 2,847 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I canceled my pre-order so I can re-order and complete my album on Tuesday. If it's messed up and it doesn't work, I'll just go buy another vinyl instead... what a mess. Breathless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breathless 5,286 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I just watched Che Tempo Che Fa and I think she's got a great voice when she sings live this era! Very happy about it. There's been a few times when her voice hasn't been great (check out The Power of Goodbye live) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-WmXk8ORgU groovyguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITG 3,349 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I really don't think that's her worst performance. Aside from a few off notes,the vocals are strong & powerful.She's also not a great live singer when she is nervous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
