The good news? “Unbroken,” Demi Lovato’s third album and her ‘comeback’ following a storm of negative media attention and a stint in rehab, will likely sell more in its opening week than the most recent albums from fellow Disney Divas Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez.
The bad news? Despite receiving ample buzz and the benefit of a buzzworthy single in “Skyscraper,” the album will not significantly outperform predecessor “Here We Go Again.”
Based on opening day sales figures, Hits Daily Double forecasts “Unbroken” will sell 110-120,000 copies by week’s end. “Here We Go Again” kicked things off with an opening sales tally of 108,000 copies.

Buoyed on its record-breaking vinyl sales performance, Taylor Swift’s late-2020 album “evermore” was expected to soar to #2 on this week’s overall US album chart (Billboard 200/Hits Top 50).
According to Hits Daily Double, it may end up landing even higher. The publication now says that “evermore” is challenging Olivia Rodrigo’s “SOUR” for #1.
Initial projections had “SOUR” comfortably retaining its crown. “Evermore” began to shrink the presumed gap, however, and buzz about a potential return to #1 grew accordingly.
Thursday, Swift released four digitally signed editions of “evermore” each including a new “90s Trend” remix of radio single “willow” that are only available through the close of tracking. Whether the new downloads can thrust “evermore” to #1 remains to be seen, but they certainly make the race even more compelling.
