The other night, Chelsea Handler joked to Justin Bieber that she would help him knock John Mayer out of the way in this week’s album sales race. However, judging by Billboard‘s early estimates, it’ll take a lot more than the E! host’s quips to slay Mayer’s Battle Studies.
Here’s how the industry mag sees things panning out, sales-wise, by the time final numbers start rolling in for the week’s top releases:
* John Mayer, Battle Studies (275,000 to 300,000 copies)
* Casting Crowns, Until The Whole World Hears (175,000)
* 50 Cent, Before I Self Destruct (150,000)
* Norah Jones, The Fall (150,000)
* Justin Bieber, My World (100,000)
* Kris Allen, Kris Allen (90,000)
* Them Crooked Vultures, Them Crooked Vultures (75,000)
* Leona Lewis, Echo (50,000 to 60,000)
* Paul McCartney, Good Evening New York City (50,000 to 60,000)
Ouch! What has happened to Kris Allen? If his figures stick to 90,000, he’ll kick Jordin Sparks out of the unenviable position of having the lowest first-week sales yet for any American Idol winner’s debut album.
Meanwhile, you can’t say Justin Bieber isn’t trying his best to get through to his chief opponent. Earlier this week he sent this Twitter message to Mayer: “…congrats on your new album but me and my ladies are gunning for that #1 spot on itunes. lol. maybe we can jam one day”
Last night he softened his tone a bit: “Roses are red violets r blue and someone tell @johncmayer to call me for musical reasons…”
But finally, Justin’s ire returned with a vengeance: “Ummm I haven’t got a hold of @johncmayer Bieber fans attack his Twitter”
Thus far, there’s been no word yet on whether @johncmayer has sustained any injuries.
What a stuck up little shit.
He looks 9 years old.
Are people serious with this kid?
BTW his Twitter is hilarious now…looks like his latest mall appearance has not gone well:
# the event at roosevelt mall is cancelled. please go home. the police have already arrested one person from my camp. I dont want anyone hurt 33 minutes ago from web
# they are not allowing me to come into the mall. if you dont leave I and my fans will be arrested as the police just told us. 35 minutes ago from web
# On my way to Roosevelt Field Mall in Long Island, NY to sign and meet fans!! im pumped. see u there about 2 hours ago from web
LOLs.
According to ABC:
…at least one girl was tasered and arrested.
lol @ tweens
Does Justin Bieber really think that a fifteen year old coming out with his first album was going to top the charts against gorgeous grammy award winning John Mayer? Really?
I don’t think a 15 year old can stand a chance with John Mayer massive Pr team. That’s why he pay them big $$$ to hype up his career sales. Why don’t JM sale his music without the phony hype if he think his music it that good.
John Mayer is a guitar player.
Justin Bieber is a kid who plays guitar.
It might not be clear, but there is a huge difference.
I love Justin Bieber and i hope he does well and of course he didnt get to number 1 but it is only his first album. He will get there some day though. luv u Justin <3
