You mean how much does it take to get a #1 weekly album? Or a #1 yearly album? Weeklies very, from 250k all the way to 1 million this year. For yearly, here's the past few albums:
2005 - Mariah Carey, "The Emancipation of Mimi" - 5 million
2006 - Carrie Underwood, "Some Hearts" - 4 millions
2007 - Daughtry, "DaughtrY" - 3 million (???)
Off-topic, but I really feel like HEART STATION will hit the million, just based on ULTRA BLUE's chart trajectory. HEART STATION sold about 3k this week, which is what ULTRA BLUE sold in its last week in the the top 50. At that point, it had sold 859,852. After ULTRA BLUE fell out of the top 50, it still went on to sell a total of 909,113. That means ULTRA BLUE sold 50,000 copies even after it fell out of the top 50. If HEART STATION manages to do that, it will get to 1,020,000.
