Many have claimed that if the volume is at 0, it doesn't count. But I don't know whether there's any validity to it, or if you can do it with just your device's volume going down.

Not to be a killjoy, but on the contrary, tour bundles tend to mean a very harsh drop in the second week. The bundle likely won't help its sales until the tour actually starts (then maybe we can expect a random bump to the Top 10 or something).

Unfortunately, I agree with you that it will be a harsh drop in sales. On the flip side, I think as people redeem their CDs it will help her sales. From what I’ve read so far, it seems people aren’t redeeming or didn’t think that had to for it to count as a sale. Also, as others read the positive reviews, listen to the songs, and see the promo happening it will increase her sales.

What does "activity" mean? Also, do these numbers also include the tour bundles? I thought for sure that the bundle would send first week sales to at least 200-250k.

Yes, they include the bundles. In my previous post predicting its first-week sales, I have listed the scenario of which she would open with around this time. It's based on the expectation that she'd be selling atound 80-100k without the bundles, that she probably sold around 50-60% of her US dates (this tour is a MAJOR upgrade for her compared to the last, and it's quite far away from now), and around 20-30% redeem.
"Activity" means sales and streams. Billboard calls it "consumption units".

Well, certainly some will redeem later on, most likely when they get another email reminder or when they are about the attend the show or AFTER they have attended the show and got hooked on the new songs.
That's why it will most likely drop harshly in its second week, then just normal afterwards until the beginning of the tour. We have seen tour bundles causing random albums to suddenly go near the top of the chart, but they were instances such as the release of new tour bundles or the beginning of their tours.

I really don't get it, either. I know that until people get the chance to actually hear this album, they aren't going to realize how great it is. To me, this is the most relatable album Carrie has ever released since most people, especially the younger audiences, love relationship songs and this album is chock full of them. I hope her streaming picks up. Maybe it will down the road with the release of the next single. I think the next one should be Low, DA, Backsliding, or TSTWUTMLT. Those would really give a feel for just how different this album is and could hopefully hook the streaming audience.

Because country artists don't tend to do very well (hip-hop artists stream very well) and I believe because she's not *really* popular in those countries (thus she could be No 1 on iTunes but not charting elsewhere). I think she's doing great on iTunes because it's dead and her (small) fanbases in those countries have not shrinked or moved on to streaming, just like what happened in the US (where she is, of course, popular).
We also have to remember the fact that this is a very youth-centric industry, and people of her age, whilst by any definition young, don't tend to stream very well due to their fanbases not consisting people who stream a lot. She's a veteran artist, so to speak.

It will be difficult for her to develop her streaming power without first getting a multi-format pop hit though. I think the first step is to try to create a viral video.

Carrie Underwood (Capitol Nashville) 220-230k total activity, 210-220k album
6BLACK (LVRN/Interscope) 60-70k, 17-20k
Tony Bennett & Diana Krall (Verve/Columbia) 25-28k, 24-27k
Tori Kelly (Capitol) 15-18k, 12-15k
Willie Nelson (Legacy) 9-10k, 8-9k
I think HDD just increased their predicted number for Cry Pretty. Imagine if she had been on GMA, Today Show, SNL or on the cover of Billboard, etc.

I'm assuming this means more people are actually buying it than as expected, as the redemptions should be quite steady. Perhaps the television promotion did work out for her. Certainly good to see that 200k is secured now.

Great numbers, especially as there are still lots of concert tickets available, which is not unusual for the beginning of her tour ticket sales.
