No botox? I thought I read somewhere that he had some on his forehead Hmmmm. I have been thinking that his forehead looks very smooth and unwrinkled on these recent interviews. Almost tight. If not botox, what? Botox is a registered brand name used commonly as a catchall. Maybe he used a different brand. ;-) |

Why does it say final at the top? It is HDD final estimate. So if you want to call it HDD Final that is OK. HDD does not get reports from all retailers. They base their report on 8 retailers. They Nielsen Soundscan numbers cover 99% of US sales and are the real numbers. HDD is a very good estimate -- and Adam will almost certainly be #3 on the Billboard 200 and #2 on the Billboard Album Sales charts. HDD also uses estimates for track sales and streaming. **** A general note -- please do not post numbers on this forum without a link to the source. Thanks! Yes, I understand. I should have quoted it as the HDD final estimate. I know that the Billboard Chart is the big enchilada. How much to the numbers tend to shift? |

Good luck keeping excitement in check. :  The chart I was looking at said final at the top rather than estimate but maybe I didn't read it right. In any case, the one 4M's posted with the streams included seems official but what do I know. I think HDD is the estimates chart, in this case Final estimate. The real chart is the actual Billboard chart which comes out tomorrow. ETA: or what 4Ms and Q3 just said. |

Adam is committed to promoting TOH through the end of the year. At the rate he's going right now, a trip with Queen to S America will be a vacation... Hope they give him a day off here and there.  No kiddng. The pace this week is even more brutal than the last few weeks. |

Good luck keeping excitement in check. : I am not trying to keep excitement in check but I am trying to make sure that no one is confused. HDD is not the "FINAL" number. The post did not even have a link or source in it. It just said FINAL. ***
The margin of error is so big that there is close to 0% chance the order will change. But that is not the FINAL number. HDD uses reports from eight retailers to estimate the sale numbers and at least one very big retailer does not report to them. Soundscan is the official sale number in the music industry and that will not be out until tomorrow afternoon. And Billboard maintains the charts that matter in the US and a few other countries. |

I should have quoted it as the HDD final estimate. I know that the Billboard Chart is the big enchilada. How much to the numbers tend to shift? That is a number thread discussion. I will answer it there later today. I am added an illustration so ya'll don't think that I am making a useless distinction. HDD is directionally correct but not always right. HDD Sales Plus Streaming -- 1 MUSE DRONES WARNER BROS. 78,080 -- 2 2 TAYLOR SWIFT 1989 BIG MACHINE 67,267 -3% -- 3 OF MONSTERS & MEN BENEATH THE SKIN REPUBLIC 59,215 -- 1 4 FLORENCE + THE MACHINE HOW BIG HOW BLUE HOW BEAUTIFUL REPUBLIC 38,083 -72% Billboard Actual numbers Billboard 200 (Album Sales + TEAs + SEAs) 1 Muse Drones 84,000 2 Taylor Swift 1989 64,000 3 Of Monsters and Men Beneath the Skin 61,000 4 Florence + The Machine How Big How Blue How Beautiful 37,000 |

Do you think that sales via AdamOfficial would be notified to HDD ? Or would HDD use a guesstimate for those ? Neither ? |

In any case, the one 4M's posted with the streams included seems official but what do I know. It is the Final estimate from HDD. They don't get "hard" numbers from all sources. Some are guesstimates. However, they are very very good and are never off by more than a couple hundred, maybe a thouand at most. Adam has too wide a spread to worry about anything, he is not losing a position tomorrow. If they were a little low, like say, 1769, though, this time, i would be thrilled!  |
