every sales prediction I saw for this album, starting with the first one I saw back in june from columbia, was in the 450-550 range for the us so it must not have cost them much.
Eminem sold over 700k his first week in the USA. Sales may go up for 1D over the Thanksgiving Black Friday sales. If so, then I may be wrong - if sales go above 600k. |

BUT who leaked it? The guy from the Sun (I think) who had exclusive first review had to fly to States to listen to it as apparently all copies were kept in locked room. Could it be possible the label leaked the album as a marketing tool and it sure has worked . Neither you nor I will know whether they have more or less sales from the leak. It is pure supposition to say they have lost x amount of sales. It looks like they will beat their last album sales which means MORE people are buying
Eminem had less buzz but less of a leak in days and way less publicized. He pushed 700k+ of his album in the US first week. 1D may tick up to 600 or 650k. If so, then maybe the leak did not do as much damage as I think it did. |

i remember fans on twitter at the time of the leak said it was itunes who inadvertently made the album available to some fans who pre-ordered it... i can't recall having heard of any other "source"...

Wit the "Complete My Album" feature, they know who really bought the song separately and who only got it as an instant grat. So while the numbers still counted for the Hot 100 chart, they were filtered out in the Digital Songs Chart. This CMA effect could even lead to negative sales in a week (apparently this happened to one of Taylor Swift's songs last year), but they will be back to a higher level next week. In my opinion, that's a more "honest" way of counting the number of downloads. In the UK, you could get some songs before the album release (or even now it's released), they counted as single sales. Then you complete the album, now it also counts as 1 album sale, even though you maybe only paid 4-5 £ to complete the album, because you already had so many songs... |

Of course, we have yet to see how James is doing in the long run, but so far it's not overwhelming in my opinion... |

Well, they're not really THAT great, considering he's the winner and has had one of the biggest winner singles in recent years... Only 118.000 after 4 weeks is quite poor, I'd say! Even Matt Cardle managed about 300.000 copies with his debut album.
