France's First Lady Carla Bruni Hits The Charts,Will her third album sells 2 million and plus ?
Current forecast: 50% chance 
Combining all predictions, the current forecast is that this is 50% likely to happen (unchanged in last 1 day)
French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy's new album is ranked third in French album sales a week after its release, official rankings released Friday show.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/07/18/entertainment/main4272782.shtml?source=search_story
Sales of "Comme si de rien n'etait" ("As if nothing had happened") were behind albums by the British band Coldplay, in first place, and French pop singer Laurent Voulzy, according to France's National Union of Phonographic Edition.
The album by Carla Bruni - the first lady's recording name - sold 14,130 copies in its first two days, according to her record label, Naive.
Her first album, "Quelqu'un m'a dit" ("Someone told me" in 2002), was a hit, selling 2 million copies and earning rave reviews from critics. Her second, "No Promises," released in January 2007, sung in English, received a far less enthusiastic response.
Bruni's disc may not win her new fans in the stolidly un-French speaking UK. But removed from the context of her very public private life, this is a charming album.
