    It’s also amusing to me that the Pulse source proven as not just straight up BS when HITS confirms label predictions as their source.

    Wait, does this mean that CWSM opening-week prediction from Pulse that I’d been mocking as obviously too stupid to come from the label came from the label?

    *headdesk*

    Honestly, those label predictions look to me as if somebody just took what they want as total album-cycle sales and divided by four, without regard to pre-orders, radio, or other factors that actually contribute to sales. Certainly the P2 prediction’s been floating around since before pre-orders started.

    For quite modest sums compared to what top execs make, I’d be happy to be employed by a label to take all the data available and build it into a forecasting model with lots of nice intersecting curves that make good Powerpoint slides. I could probably even work in a couple natural logarithms if that was felt to make it more “serious.”
