So how much has britneys sales been hurt bcs of this leak

[HyunA]

Cause i really dont lile the fact that shes losing 5 days of pre orders and sales

[G-unit]

Not to mention all the people that are streaming the album, illegally, at the moment certainly won't be streaming it legally with the same passion come Friday.  She's gonna lose a good bit of sale.  Hopefully the VMA's make up for it.

[Alexanda]

It won't hurt sales.
I actually wanna know what i'm going to buy, thank you and the rest wouldn't even buy it without leak.

1 illegal download = We lost one copy is stupid thinking.

My point exactly.

[DarkBlue]

femme fatale leaked 20 days before it's release and still went to number 1, I don't think 5 days is long enough to effect sales

Because of the leak I turned my physical pre-order into 2 (normal & deluxe) 

and added 2 itunes pre-orders 

[PieceofBritney]

You guys realize people can also download it on the release date if it hadn't leaked by then. No one buys it just because it didn't leak till the release date lol. 

[lustwecantcontrol]

Well she actually moved up quite a few spots on the Amazon album chart and is way ahead of FGL

[ifuseekari]

a million billion copies/sales tbh 

 

I don't really care about all that but I hope people support and respect her music by buying the album tbh.  

[Lou M. Taylor]

I don't get why you're saying she's losing 5 days of preorders/sales?

It actually jumped to #7 on Amazon preorders after the leak.

The sales won't be hurt, it's the streaming that will be weaker.

[Alexanda]

Streaming? Music? I never did and i think it's useless for me. (Spotify, iTunes Streaming) but i think i'm the only one

[iammaffyou]

I think it will help drive sales... all the hype and people saying its one of her best.

[Kirito]

It won't hurt the sales, if people were gonna buy the album are going to anyways, regardless of the leak. Some of my friends (GP) said they would buy it now that they heard it because she deserves their money with this music, so yeah  

[JoeBitch!]

None. Like what is stopping people from illegally downloading it on release day?

[AkiraLe]

Actually after listening to the album I believe the leak wont hurt the sales but the other way around, it will boost the sale. Here why? The quality is super good and it made me want to order more and I will do. I will gift to many friends and introduce this super good album. 

And I believe the GP thinks the same because it is very GP friendly. You guys can help the sales by exposing it to many ppl as much as you can please

This.

Relax, leaks don't hurt sales nowadays.

[Lou M. Taylor]

I said it and will repeat it, the sales won't be hurt.

It's actually streaming that we lost. Whoever wasn't buying the album heard it through links rather than on Spotify on release day.

We'll have to make up for it.

True, I already pre-ordered a few copies in different formats of the album and I still downloaded it yesterday.

[LBoggie]

I think FF leaked like a few weeks early (even a month earlier) and it ended up still selling decently with pure sales and had good word of mouth upon its release. It'll be interesting to see how it does come release week because I think this may be the first time she's released an album not on a Tuesday so I want to see how her team handles promo for the week.
