The only reason I want her to get #1 is because it would be the biggest FU to all of her haters/doubters who said she would be over after BTD in the US, especially. Even if she doesn't that's extremely well for someone who's selling off of internet hype and her name alone.
Capitol is keeping Sam's album off of Spotify/streaming and is promoting him as the male Adele. Stay With Me is also blowing up. That's why his numbers are so big. I think the gap will come even closer but at the end Lana will pull it off. I'm also predicting 400K+ worldwide.
