Ummm...they'll be forced to sell a bunch of those at a heavy discount. No way in hell, unless the album is loaded with songs we haven't heard already, will this album legitimately sell 3 million copies.

This rumor has been going around for a couple days now. I wonder if it lends any credit to the idea that it's 3 separate albums?

I don't think that

It isn't out of the ordinary for such a number. Wal Mart does this as well.

Having said that, this isn't selling 3 million copies. Even the heavyweights of this decade have major trouble reaching such numbers. Only band on earth that can guarantee 3 million sales before release is U2. Only way this sells that many is if they keep reducing its price until the stock is gone.

Now having said that, I don't care how many it sells.

They buy in bulk for a few reasons.. Other stores are going to go to best buy and buy in balk for their own stores.

BLS is correct again. Despite the exclusive, many mom and pops will want to stock up to keep their own customers satisfied and coming into their stores. God forbid another indie shop loses its customers to one of the conglomerates. You'd be surprised how many other stores you'll see this album pop up in first week, exclusive or not. I'd even bet on seeing a few turn up in your local FYE, if you're fool enough to go there in the first place.
