Taylor Swift - Fearless Beyonka - I Am... SASHA FIERCE Britney - Circus Kanye West - 808's and Heartbreaks Nickelback - Dark Horse David Cook - David Cook What do you think they will end up with when all is said and done? I'm thinking: Fearless - 3.3 million Beyonka - 2 million+ Circus - 2 million+ Kanye West - 1.7 million Nickelback - 2-2.5 million David Cook - 1.5 million It's kind of hard to predict now but I guess we'll see how things go after the holidays. I'm thinking that Taylor is just gonna be a monster during the holidays and after, and her album will continue selling though I don't think it will get near the sales of her debut. Beyonka ( ) and Britney are really hard to predict for me now. They both will do well after the holidays and both have singles either just coming out or coming up that are/are destined to be hits. I'm thinking "Circus" [song] will really help Circus out, while Single Ladies and possibly Halo will help ride out Sasha Fierce. Both have a great shot at 2 million, though. Both will def. hit 2 million tho IMO. Nickelback I think will be a great seller among the lines of their last album though I don't think it will get anywhere close to that 6 million figure, while David Cook I think is gonna have a nice ride. Kanye I think will fall apart after the holidays. Graduation only sold a bit over 2 million, so I don't expect this one to sell anywhere over that.

My previous predictions:
Current totals: Taylor Swift - Fearless: 3,059,534 Nickelback - Dark Horse: 1,806,905 Beyonce - Sasha Fierce: 2,073,931 David Cook: 1,089,038 Britney Spears - Circus: 1,494,880 Kanye West - 808's & Heartbreak: 1,483,075
Taylor Swift - definitely will pass my 3.3 mil prediction.. will probably end up even going 4x platinum in the long run Beyonce - definitely went past my expectations, will probably end with 2.5 million-ish Nickelback - i'd still go with my prediction of 2-2.5 million but their albums have really longevity, so it could probably even get 3x platinum, who knows David Cook - 1.5 million seems about right, maybe a little less depending on if any future singles are hits from this album Britney - 2+ million depends.. at this rate the 4th single needs to really help album sales but definitely in the eventual long run. Kanye - 1.7 milion seems ok, but it will probably pass it.

Isn't it sad that an album can go Platinum and it's seen as having done well... I miss the huge album selling days. Made it SO much FUN!

Fearless - 3.3 million Beyonka - 2 million+ Circus - 2 million+ Kanye West - 1.7 million Nickelback - 2-2.5 million David Cook - 1.5 million . well I was very off on Taylor lol .. I was ok on Beyonce even though she easily surpassed 2 million while Circus fell a bit short of 2 million. Kanye did about that, while Nickelback is at like 2.6/2.7 million right? David got like 1.2/1.3 milion I think too? I did decently lol
