What are the chances of Stronger passing BHC?

[thunder92]

^very likely

[bigbluegrl23]

From the perspective of an artist who hasn't had a crossover in quite some time, these numbers are awesome. AND there has been no big performance. And it's barely top ten on country. And it's only been a month.

Kellie's latest album sold than less 2500 for sure as it didn't make the Billboard 200. Probably sold 1,000 - 1,200, sadly.

sadly Kelly Pickler has sold barely over 100,000 since her release a few months back Carrie on the other hand could do that in her first day of release for blown away which will make her catalog sales jump nice to see Some Hearts Still selling about 2,000 a week nearly 6.5 years later While Adele's album 21 hasn't sold less than 60k a week in it's nearly 14 month run and is about to be certified 9x platinum and will probably be diamond by august

ADELE's "21" has not sold less than 70k copies in any given week.

Carrie's "Carnival Ride" opened with 150k copies on its first day and ended up selling 527k copies in 6 days. If "Blown Away" sells 100k copies, it'll very likely open with 300-350k copies. I'd say it might fall a little short of 6-digit on her first day.
