thebigham Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 HITS: YOUR WEAKEND TOP 10: Break out the champagne—there will be two albums in six figures next week. Woo-hoo! Topping the chart will be the debuting Janet Jackson, whose first album for Def Jam/IDJ is moving toward 170-180k. She’ll be followed by Universal Motown left-of-center diva Erykah Badu, who should bow with 125-135k. Jack Johnson (Brushfire/Universal Republic), who spent the last three weeks at #1, will likely fall two places while chalking up a still-robust 85-90k. A third debut is next, as Webbie (Trill/Atlantic) trends toward 60-65k. Chart perennial Alicia Keys (J/RMG) will fight it out for #5 with the similarly leggy Hannah Montana 2 (Disney) in the 55-60k region, followed closely by the Oscar-fueled Once (Canvasback/Columbia) with a projected 55-60k. Michael Jackson’s Thriller (Sony/Legacy) and Juno (Rhino) are on a collision course toward 40-45k, which brings us to the #9-13 slots. The order of their finish is presently too close to call, as Amy Winehouse (Universal Republic), the debuting Shawty Lo (Asylum), the surging Sara Bareilles (Epic), Mary J. Blige (Geffen) and Step Up 2 (Atlantic) all occupy the 30-35k hood. So that’s four soundtracks in the first 13 slots, for what it’s worth.

StrawberryBounce12 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 YESSSSSSSSSSSS JANET! PUNCH THOSE HATERS IN THE EYE! There was never any doubt in my mind whatsoever that the album wouldn't debut at #1 in the U.S. though. I am very happy for Janet, this is her first #1 album since "All For You"!

Lucy Goosie Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Her sales are going to be piss poor. The Velvet Rope sold 202,000 in it's first week but went on to sell over 3 million copies. This album will struggle to sell even half a million. But kudos to her label for releasing it at this time of the year, it would have been embarrasing to do these numbers in November or December.

doctorjosh Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 At least Madonna haters can't use the 240k to get to No.1 for AL anymore. Janet has set a new low for the divas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolidayGuy Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Usher's album doesn't have a release date yet- remember, his second-week numbers kept Janet's Damita Jo from No. 1! So, we'll see if Madge has to contend with his album. I don't know if Hard Candy can do as highas 350K in this climate- should be interestin'... And, without question, Janet's numbers will be disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldtooth Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 At least Madonna haters can't use the 240k to get to No.1 for AL anymore. Janet has set a new low for the divas! Glitter debuted at #7 with 116,000 copies sold. Just Whitney debuted at #9 with 205,000 copies sold (but ended up outselling American Life due to the holiday season).

mtzlplk Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 uhm, is Usher from IDJ? So Dupri is trying to know when it'll be released huh? I guess he's also trying to sway away from USHER... to help JANET or MC maybe? ------------------------------------------------------- Usher Readies New Album As of now, R&B sensation, Usher, hasn’t officially announced an album title or release date for his follow-up to his 2004 mega-smash hit, Confessions, but the word is that the wait won’t be too much longer. “I was speaking to him the other day, asking him when he was gonna start putting singles out,” Jermaine Dupri tells MTV News late last week. “He said, ‘Soon.’ So, it’s coming.” Dupri, a longtime friend and collaborator of Usher’s, is slated to contribute to the singer’s next offering. It looks as if Dupri’s words are a prophecy fulfilled because since last speaking with MTV News, two new Usher records have surfaced. “In The Club,” produced by Polow Da Don is getting play, currently, on Atlanta radio stations. Young Jeezy is featured on the bass heavy, mid-tempo club ready banger. “I wanna make love in this club,” Usher sings on the chorus. The second record, which is already floating around on the Internet, is called “Moving Mountains” and is said to be produced by Timbaland. As for the rest of the album, Philadelphia producers, Dre & Vidal have contributed several songs, while Lil Jon is waiting for the right record to add to Usher’s musical concoction. The King of Crunk, having already given three smashes to Usher with “Yeah!,” “Red Light” and “Lovers and Friends,” isn’t trying to force anything. “I’m trying to find a new sound. I don’t wanna come and have the same old, same old. I’m trying to give Usher that stadium record again. I don’t wanna give him no bullshit. I wanna give him another ‘Yeah!,’ another record that sets the tone for his entire album," said Jon. There is no word as to whether “In The Club” or “Moving Mountains” are official singles or if they will even make the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone even said 500000 first week LOLOLOOLLLLLLLLL!!! I wouldnt be suprised if she pull numbers like AL, i mean she was promoting like hell then and couldnt get any more.

Laprol Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 ^ But AL had a dud first single. It doesnt matter how crazy you get with the promotion, if people aren't digging it they wont buy it. Look at Janet as another example. She went on so many tv shows, yet only managed less than 180k. Its the hype that sells the album mostly (first week), and Madonna has always been good at creating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
