HITS':

VIVA LA WEAKEND CHART PREVIEW: Capitol’s Coldplay will run away with next week’s chart; the only question involves the final total, which at this point looks like it’ll be in the 700-725k range.

Universal Motown’s Lil Wayne will move another 290-315k in its second week, while Disney’s debuting Camp Rock soundtrack, featuring the Jonas Brothers, is headed toward 200-225k. From there on, the numbers revert to 2008 form. Capitol’s Now 28 should stay in six figures with 100-105k, with Usher (LaFace/ZLG) rounding out the Top 5 with 65-70k.

Plies (Slip-N-Slide/Atlantic) should land at #6 with 60-65k, followed by three more debuts: Capitol's Katy Perry is projecting an impressive 45-50k in sales, as is The Offspring (Columbia) and Rihanna’s deluxe edition, released this week on Def Jam/IDJ. Reprise’s Disturbed is in the same general range, with Columbia's Judas Priest just behind them at 40-45k. (6/20a)

And who says that album sales are not important anymore... :1251:

If you can have both (album sales and succesful tour) that sounds way better to me!

Shhh! Lets wait and see if Give it 2 Me kicks in and how the album does from there. If the song flops and the album continues to drop, THEN we can call it a flop. :lol:

Okay maybe not a flop....But a tiny little *plop*.

What surprises me is how underperforming it is doing in the UK and in Europe in general. There is no doubt she is underperforming here as well.

Even though I love Coldplay those fuckers are going to keep Madonna from having the best selling album around the world this year. Grrrrrrrrrrrr. :rant:

personally Coldplay's album deserves to be the biggest selling of the year worldwide. I bet it'll win some Grammys too

You must get out and buy it. It'll be worth it. A very good album and different from the last one too.

By the way, what's the biggest selling album worldwide so far this year?

Coldplay has outsold Madonna's two month total, with only 60% of their first week counted icon4.gif

it´s the first album after a megahit, so it´s normal.But I don´t think they´ll stay for a long time on top:I think they are going to suffer the same fate than usher´s album (big first week sales, and then great sales but not incredible ones)

^ ya, we all wish that, but Im FKIN thrilled she CAME back with some respect there at the end, during the last 30%. It looked reeeally bad for a second lol. While shes dropping each week, its not as severe as I thought it would by now, and shes kinda sorta maintaining semi decent/ better than AL #s LOL. Its really gonna come down to the next few weeks. By then, itll be apparant whether or not GI2Me is makin an impact. If it doesnt, than the real plummeting will begin.

The SS numbers last week were a little higher than HITS (and, HC was ranked 6 spots higher)- so if the SS # is close to HITS, the % drop will be >18%.

In its 8th week, AL had scanned 13,557- so, again, if the SS numbers hold, just about the same as AL. Only difference is- AL dropped from No. 72 to No. 93 in its 8th week on the BB 200.

Nah, I doubt many bought AL for "Hollywood"- not exactly a standout or mass-appeal track. Album sales were higher in 2003, mosti mportantly- why I noted that AL was down to No. 93 with similar sales to what HC is seeing.

Coldplay Cruises To No. 1 On The Billboard 200

June 25, 2008

by Katie Hasty, N.Y.

As expected, Coldplay tops The Billboard 200 with "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends," which shifted a whopping 721,000 first-week U.S. copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The Capitol effort sold nearly as many copies as the band's other chart-topper, 2005's "X&Y," which moved 737,000. Only one other rock band has had a 700,000-plus week since the release of that effort. Last November, the Eagles' "Long Road Out of Eden" began at No. 1 with 711,000.

With the million-plus debut of Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter III" last week, this marks only the second time the chart has seen back-to-back debuts of more than 700,000 since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking data in 1991. The first time it happened was way back in the summer of 2000, when Britney Spears' "Oops! I Did It Again" (1,319,000) was followed by Eminem's "The Marshall Mathers LP" (1,760,000).

Forty percent of "Viva La Vida" sales, 288,000 copies, were digital downloads, making it the biggest sales frame ever registered for a digital album. It surpasses the previous record, set earlier this year when Jack Johnson's "Sleep Through the Static" (139,000).

With a 69% sales decrease, "Tha Carter III" (Cash Money/Universal) slips 1-2 with 309,000 units.

The soundtrack to the Disney Channel film "Camp Rock," featuring the Jonas Brothers, debuts at No. 3 with 188,000. The movie premiered on June 20 and averaged 8.9 million total viewers according to Nielsen, making it the network's second-most-watched original movie after 2007's "High School Musical 2."

The multi-label "Now 28" compilation continues its decline 3-4 with 81,000 (39%), while Plies' "Definition of Real" (Big Gates/Slip-N-Slide) falls 2-5 with 68,000 (-68%). Selling 65,000, Usher's LaFace/Zomba set "Here I Stand" descends 5-6 with a 36% sales decrease.

Flying up the chart 124-7, Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad" (SRP/Def Jam) experiences a 930% sales jump to 63,000; a re-issue of the 2007 album hit shelves with three additional tracks. Disturbed's former chart-topping Warner Bros. set "Indestructible" declines 4-8 with 59,000 (-42%).

Capitol pop newcomer Katy Perry has a No. 9 start with her debut album, "One of the Boys," which sold 47,000. The single "I Kissed a Girl" has been climbing its way up the Hot 100 and sits currently at the No. 2 spot, behind Coldplay's "Viva La Vida."

The Offspring's first album in five years, "Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace" (Columbia), debuts at No. 10 with 46,000. The veteran rock act's 2003 album "Splinter" peaked at No. 30.

Metal mainstay Judas Priest's "Nostradamus" (Epic) begins at No. 11 with 42,000, the highest charting album of the band's career. Its previous best came with 2005's "Angel of Retribution" at No. 13.

Blood Raw's first album for Def Jam, "CTE Presents: My Life: The True Testimony," debuts at No. 30 with 17,000, and rapper 2 Pistols' debut "Death Before Dishonor" (J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League) bows at No. 33 with 16,000. Indie rock act Wolf Parade earns its highest chart position with "At Mount Zoomer" (Sub Pop), moving 13,000 to open at No. 46.

Album sales are down 10.6% from last week's sum at 8.30 million units, and are down 6.7% compared to the same week last year. With 196.98 million units sold this year so far, sales are down 10.9% overall compared to last year.
