Ciccone's Cheeks Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 i think itll def. "ship" 1 million, and be certified 1x plat. but true are sales are the facts here. in reality, for her to sell 1million would be actually respectable in mid 2008. never ever thought thered be a day when that would be a decent hit in the US, but their #s/sales are comparible to Europe #s now LOL. (even with waaaay larger ppopulation). A smash hit album in the States is like around 3x-5x (if even that high) platinum, which is like the new 8-10x plat from 1998-99 lol. seriously. its unbelievable to many yet true! Again, if GI2ME, which is a *quality* across the board, catchy club bangin song (unlike Hollywood and even Sorry), regardless of what US radio plays, somehow crosses over (like Rihannas DSTM etc..) for even a few months ,will give this album an opportunity to end up w/ decent 2008 US Soundscan #s.

Guest nothingfails0603 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 The tour will have negligible impact on sales. None of her past tours have done much for sales, not sure why folks would think this one will be different. I think this is different than her past tours. Albums like Music, COADF and Erotica were almost a year old, and American Life had been off the chart for about 10 months by the time those tours started. With this tour, Madonna has a faster release-to-tour ratio, so there's a possibility the album will have some legs that AL and COADF didn't (I do believe Girlie and DWT did help those respective albums stay on the chart a little bit longer than they would've otherwise). Unless HC plummets down the chart like AL, there's a chance the tour should be able to keep it selling steady during the time it's out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candylipsgirl Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Im NOT yet dismissing the fact...there is a possibility for sales of HC to increase- Later.... This tour is set to break C/Tour sales record! Live Nation press release mentions 'special stage' www.madonnalicious.com thanks to david: may 27, 2008 Ticket sales for Madonna's highly anticipated Sticky & Sweet Tour continued to explode throughout Europe and North America, it was confirmed by the tour's producer, Live Nation. The demand for tickets in Paris for Madonna's scheduled September 20th performance was so staggering that a second and final performance has just been announced for September 21st. The Sticky & Sweet Zurich show at the Military Airfield Dubendorf scheduled for August 30th has just glided past the 70,000 mark as Madonna fans buy tickets in record breaking numbers for that show as well as in Vancouver, where Madonna's October 30th performance sold 50,000 tickets in a record breaking 29 minutes. In addition, due to instant sellouts in Toronto at Air Canada Centre on October 18th and Montreal at the Bell Centre on October 22nd, second shows in both markets have been added - October 19th in Toronto at the Air Canada Centre and October 23 at Montreal’s Bell Centre. These new sellout performances add to a list of sellouts that already include three sold out Madison Square Garden shows in New York City on October 6, 7 and 11 and sellouts in Boston and Chicago where a second show October 27th at the United Center will go on sale on June 2nd. Additional Madonna shows on sale this weekend include: Los Angeles, San Diego, Houston, Miami, Las Vegas, Denver, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Atlantic City. The Sticky & Sweet Tour, where Madonna once again joins creative forces with director Jamie King, is expected to surpass her previous sold out Confessions Tour in terms of production, visual enhancement, technology, dancing, singing, costumes and nonstop entertainment. A special stage is being created to showcase Madonna, her band, and a stunning troop of dancers, all of which will give fans a breathtaking never before seen or heard once-in-a-lifetime experience. The Sticky & Sweet Tour is being produced by Live Nation. For complete tour information, news, contests, and more, visit: www.madonna.com or www.livenation.com Thanks to David Portuguese Madonna fans, we are happy to confirm that the 'Sticky & Sweet' Tour will stop at the Parque Bela Vista in Lisbon on September 14, 2008. Tickets for the show will go on sale May 31. If you are an Icon member, please note that the devoted presale will start on Thursday May 29, at 10am LOCAL TIME for legacy members and at Noon Local Time for Platinum members.

Id rather have RECORD breakin and after record breaking WW Tours (being *publicized* all over the media) than 2x plat vs 1x plat records lol, which barely impress a small select few. Let Mimi and her obsession w/the OUTDATED relevance of record sales continue. W/ M if she gets 1x+ plat records itll just be a bonus at this point, not a main priority (like it shoulve been pre early 00s) when hard record sales were what it was ALL about.

Guest jamesshot Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 4M is holding this album up. Radio play is decreasing now, so I expect the album to start seeing bigger decreases. At this point, will it surpass AL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I'm sure it will eventually reach Platinum by the end of the year. I will maybe reach 1 million in shipments, but will WBR bother? I absolutly believe it will outsell AL. I think it will reach 800k at the end of 2008 in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zezwer Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I am sure it'll be at least 1x platinum... why is everyone so upset?? yes... Warner chose to buy a Gold cert for it... because it has SOLD Gold?? so what's the deal?? I know cert are for shipments... but usually they won't bother to get a Gold cert even though it has shipped/sold Gold... and the album has actually sold Gold in the states... so I don't see why everyone is whining... you would all whine if it wouldn't get a cert. even if it was able to... and now you whine because it's not 1million when it's not even there... YET I am sure it'll get a platinum cert later this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact most of the thread is based on debate and various opinions from fans re: SALES OF HC Afterall, this forum is designed for this type of civil discussion-even if some dont believe it sounds logical.

Yes, the fact that WBR rushed to certify it Gold may mean they don't believe in its potential to become Platinum but this is only a speculation. There maybe other reasons they did so. It's not like WBR doesn't have anything else to do than sitting around and accessing Madona's certifications. The certification may mean exactly what it is. It reached 500K sales and it's gold. Simple as that. Regardless the certifications, people and media look at the actual numbers also. HC will not be the lowest seller of her career if it actually sells more than AL. No matter what the certifications say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candylipsgirl Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 it will reach the million copies sold, but I don´t know if warner is going to bother certifiying it... One can only say "NO". Why? If we extrapulate data from the past re: certs and re-certs, we clearly notice WBR being at best lethargic and uninterested in updating Ms back catalog. In recent memory, I dont recall any M cd that received a cert and a re-cert while being on BB200.? Music and Confessions received a 1 time cert during their stay on BB200. It took 5 yrs later to re-cert Music to 3x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If HC scans 1M they will certify it platinum, maybe not at once but eventually. Ok, we can assume that they won't certify it for less, like they did with American Life. And it is too early to consider 1M completely improbable. With one more at least moderate hit (like Top 40 in airplay) it could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
