With her ambitious new album “Bangerz,” Miley Cyrus is leaving more than the creative disappointment of previous album “Can’t Be Tamed” in her rear view mirror.<\/p>\n
She is also ditching the memory of its disappointing sales performance.<\/p>\n
Based on Hits Daily Double’s opening day sales data, Cyrus’ new album is pacing to move between 250-275,000 copies in its opening week. More than enough for a number one bow on next week’s Billboard 200, the figure represents significant growth over the 106K debut frame for “Tamed.”<\/p>\n
Certainly a commercial success, it is worth noting that “Bangerz” is not pacing to amass as many debut-week sales as her 2008 release “Breakout.” That album, riding her ubiquity from “Hannah Montana,” moved 371,000 units in its opener.<\/p>\n
Fueled by Cyrus’ buzzworthy image makeover and hit songs “Wrecking Ball” and “We Can’t Stop,” “Bangerz” has emerged as the music industry’s most talked-about topic.<\/p>\n
