YOUR WEAKEND TOP 10(ISH) CHART PREVIEW:
Mariah Carey (Island/IDJ) 55-60k
Ouch! From 168k to less than 60k!! We're looking at over 65% drop. Will this album even make 400k at the end of it's run?
-
Well they spent all their money buying her shit on the first week. i hope Mimi drops out of top 10. prolly not. let's say top 7.
I willbe celebrating if it did drop out of the top 10 next week and sells less than 50k.
-
OMG. Surely Mimi couldn't have dropped that much! Where are all the lambs? Well, I suppose most of them would have killed themselves after the album only reached No.3 and with such poor numbers too. And since they're gone, there's less lambs available to buy more copies! LOL
-
I'd love to know the Soundscan numbers for all Mariah's albums, cause she's been very overcertified hasn't she?
oh, she most certainly is!
I'd love to know how she's gonna pull off a platinum certification for her new album. It'll be lucky to scan 500k at the rate it's going.
-
Janet is bigger internationally so yes, Janet will have the last laugh at Mariah.
Actually, Mimi is bigger internationally, which is why Janet will have the last laugh when MOAIA doesn't end up selling as much as Discipline.
-
Poor Mimi. She didn't get a top 5 single for Obesed and she couldn't even reach the top 2 with Memoirs of an overly bloated angel.
The lambs must be complete meltdown by now. Janet will be laughing her head off if Mimi's album sells than Discipline! LOL
-
Billboard has just announced that Barbra Streisand's album Love is the Answer debuts at #1 on the US charts. More information to follow.
from: The Official Barbra Streisand Site
Oh no...Babs now pulls ahead by 2 for most No.1 albums by a female artist.
Let's hope that Paramore are No.2 and Mimi is at No.3 (or even lower...muah ha ha).
-
Yes, if 4M were a hit in fall instead of spring and she released Hard Candy in the fall, it would have topped 1M no doubt.
HC sold 3.5-4 million worldwide. If Mimi's numbers in the US are really as bad as it's looking so far, she may struggle to pass 1 million worldwide (just like Janet's last album!).
-
i would dearly love to see "Celebration" reclaim the top spot. She was so close last week. A little bit of promo on behalf of Madonna and a bit more from WBR would have been enough for No.1 last week.
-
Charmbracelet opened and peaked at No 3 .. but noone really remembers (or everyone wants to forget) that CD. LOL!
I forgot about that one! It scanned something like 1.1-1.2 million in the US. Is it certified for 3xplatinum yet?
-
those broken plates are looking very attractive right now...
-
I really do hope that Mimi ends up at No.3 for her new album. It will be her lowest charting for a studio album since "Emotions" back in 1991 (not counting "Glitter", of course). The lambs must be in complete meltdown. Mimi's new, lead single missing the top 5 and her new album missing the top 2! LOL!!
I hope Madonna ends up at No.7 or higher. It's a goood showing considering the poor performance of the Celebration single, little promotion and the fact that it's a double disc greatest hits package.
-
Celebration is a nice enough song but not ground-breaking or anything exciting like her new single releases in the past. It really doesn't deserve to be No.1 on the charts. It is her lowest charting lead-off single for an album in the US, so that kinda says it all really.
-
-
Mimi and her record company are famous for using any tactics (including underhanded ones) to get a higher chart placing. She really is the queen of chart manipulation! Unfortunately for Mimi, it only really works on the US charts. That's why she can't emulate the same level of success anywhere else in the world!! LOL!!!
-
Mariah or not, quite an irrelevant thing to say, considering how album sales are dropping. Mariah would have to release like 8-10 studio albums in the next decade to reach that!
Oh, I realise that but my comments were purely aimed at the lambs and how they love to twist facts to make her look better with her chart facts.
-
Thanks, HG. 10.5-11 million into her 3rd decade of her career is pretty good. I'd like to see Mimi try to achieve that next decade.
What would be really interesting to see is biggest sellers worldwide decade by decade. Madonna would certainly be featuring quite prominently in all 3 decades!
-
Madonna must have sold about 8 million albums in the US since January 2000, right?
-
Mimi just turned 40, so we'll see how she fares. She still may be able to rack up some decent play, though, cosnidering she crafts music for mass radio consumption. But it won't be as sure a thing, I'd think.
It clearly is no longer a sure thing for Mimi. Just look at how the singles from her last album fared on the radio.
-
Maybe the Get Stupid vidoe/remix was aimed at WBR then?
-
I hope it's good and it gets released. It might help keep HC moving along.
-
Agreed! I don't understand what possessed WBR to not release Miles Away during the tour.
-
That's true but the GH will probably come after the Grammys and the release of the tour DVD.
-
We also won't have a new Madonna studio album this year, which often gives a nice boost for the preceding album. All we'll have is the tour DVD (I hope) and new GH, which isn't much really. Maybe a Grammy win of some sort and the tour being televised are the only other things I can think of that may help HC this year.

Maybe for singles but not for albums really. Mimi and her record company(s) will be the first to re-certify her and then she will claim to have the most platinum albums. You just know she's gonna do that.
