Industry forecasters suggest 25 could sell perhaps 950,000 copies in its second week, with a chance it could nab a million. If it manages a million, it would then become the first album in Nielsen history to sell a million copies in two different weeks. (Nielsen began tracking point-of-sale music purchases in 1991.)
There are slightly more than two days left in the current sales tracking week to be tabulated (as it ends at the close of business on Thursday, Dec. 3). Billboard is scheduled to report 25‘s second-week sales on Sunday, Dec. 6, once Nielsen has finished processing its weekly data.
