HolidayGuy Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Digital sales indeed do get applied toward certifications. HC's digital sales dropped big after it scanned 73K in its debut week (to like 13K or so if I remember). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boytoyville Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 ^ I can't believe it was just edged out of the top ten! Oh well, it's decline was too bad this week. Seems to be holding up position wise very well compared to some past albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HC's digital sales dropped big after it scanned 73K in its debut week (to like 13K or so if I remember). Good. Someone the other day, on this forum, was saying COADF didn't have a chance at a 2M cert because while it scanned 1.67ish its physical sales were only around 1.5M. I guess there isn't a chance that it has close to 500,000 copies on shelves still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 COADF's physical sales are around 1.55 million, while its digital is around 121,000. So, it needs to have shipped roughly 1.88 million physical copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightshade Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 If anyone is interested, Hard Candy is about 36,000 copies AHEAD of where 20 Y.O. was in its 5th week (in terms of U.S. Soundscan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyHigh76 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 (edited) oh that's really a mess... I doubt Janet will ever have a success album again... I think 3 flops in a row is just too much strange how she still can keep a record deal I predict that Janet will get dropped by her current label if her next CD isn't a hit.They're not gonna keep taking a chance on her,spending lots of money to promote her if she doesn't sell CDs.Thank God that Madonna isn't in this situation. I also doubt that Janet's upcoming tour will be a massive success.She'll have trouble selling out in some places.Some dates will be cancelled,or moved to smaller venues.Of course,she will try to say it was cancelled for "other reasons" but we all know the truth,lol.

Cherish Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Great news! It'll sell more than AMERICAN LIFE, perhaps with radio getting behind GITM and subsequent singles, it'll do better than COADF in the U.S? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolidayGuy Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Cool- it sold just enough to get past 525,000. This takes it 56,600 and change more than where AL was after 6 weeks. In week 7, AL dropped 51-72, scanning 15,764. HC's weekly sales aren't far off from where AL was after 6 weeks (almost 6,500 higher), but it's definitely performing better when looking at sales climates (as we can tell by its ranking).
