This could conceivably hit 100K sales over time. I mean, I bought 3 versions myself....

The only way this album will sell 100,000 or more is with longevity.

IYD managed 16 weeks on the Billboard 200 due to all of the shows she was on at the time. I remember that whenever she was on say 'American Idol', the album would be back up to #150 or so.

If this album gets no more promotion then it's going to be a pretty steep decline in sales from now on.

We will be able to see how no promotion is affecting the albums sales next week. If it is still within the top 40 then I predict it'll last about 6 weeks in total on the Billboard 200. If it is at about #60 or lower then it'll last only a couple of weeks.

I predict that it'll be at around #35 next week and it'll last about 6 weeks on the Billboard 200. I don't think it'll get to 100,000 very easily. I hope it does though!
