Guest Bad Robot Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Yay for Katy Perry! It'll be #1 on the Hot 100 for sure (BB's article is referencing last week's Hot 100). Interesting how it used to be that lead singles saw a climb the week of an album release, and now they tend to see a steep fall. Wonder why that shifted?

JR! Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 June 25, 2008 Coldplay’s Strong Sales Buck Industry Trend By BEN SISARIO Near the beginning of Coldplay’s free concert at Madison Square Garden on Monday night to promote its new album, “Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends,” Chris Martin, the lead singer, joked with the crowd: “I understand there have been some complaints about the ticket price.” The roar of 11,500 fans suggested they were quite happy. The band and its label, Capitol, also had plenty to be happy about. “Viva la Vida” sold 316,000 copies in the United States on June 17, its first day of release, and is expected to reach No. 1 this week with sales in excess of 700,000, industry executives say. (Final figures will be released by Nielsen SoundScan on Wednesday.) Despite the steep drop in overall album sales in recent years and tumult within Capitol’s parent company, EMI, the opening-week numbers for “Viva la Vida” are roughly equivalent to those of Coldplay’s last album, “X&Y,” which sold 737,000 copies in its first week three years ago and went on to sell three million. Apple, the dominant online seller, said “Viva la Vida” had the best advance and first-week sales of any album in the five-year history of iTunes. The success of “Viva la Vida” comes a week after Lil Wayne’s “Tha Carter III” (Cash Money/Universal) became the first album in three years to sell more than a million copies in a week. But with album sales down 11 percent from this time last year (and 2007 sales down 15 percent from 2006), people in the industry greeted the news of Coldplay’s success with caution. “The music industry has held up better this year than we had feared,” said Richard Greenfield, who is a media analyst at Pali Research. “We’ve seen a moderation in CD sales declines instead of an acceleration.” The success of “Viva la Vida” affirms Coldplay’s stature as a superstar act and underlines the importance of nontraditional marketing. In late April the band made its song “Violet Hill” available as a free download for a week, and the show at Madison Square Garden, which drew a capacity crowd, followed free concerts in London and Barcelona last week. The band was also featured in a prominent television commercial for iTunes. “You have to try and be more creative these days to get people’s attention,” said Dave Holmes, Coldplay’s manager. “You can’t rely as much on the traditional methods.” Radio has also played a big role in the album’s success. In an aggressive but unusual strategy, the band sent two singles to stations in advance of its release, and this week the title song is No. 1 on the Billboard singles chart. The more novel aspects of Coldplay’s campaign attracted attention from the news media and helped build broad excitement that contributed to radio demand, said Kevin Weatherly, the program director of KROQ-FM in Los Angeles, on which “Viva la Vida” has been the most-played song since it was put into rotation at the end of May. “This is one of those pop-culture events that we want to be all over,” he said. “We need big rock bands that can deliver, and we want to do everything we can on our end to support that.” About a third of the sales for “Vida la Vida” were for digital downloads. Lil Wayne’s album, on the other hand, sold about 10 percent digitally, which made it a blockbuster at brick-and-mortar stores, said Ish Cuebas, the vice president for music at Trans World Entertainment, which operates more than 800 stores, including FYE and Coconuts. “That drove a lot of traffic into retail,” he said. Analysts and industry executives say that the sales spike these last few weeks has been badly needed, but that two albums alone cannot offset broader losses, and that no clear blockbuster is likely in the near future. “Unit sales do not equal profitability,” Mr. Greenfield said. “The weakness in the industry has moderated a bit, and it appears that the strength of the release schedule is the primary driver of that. How sustainable that is for the remainder of the year remains a big question mark.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if she had waited 1.5 month like Mariah! It' so unfair. Mariah now can hit no1 only with her lead singles. And by waiting many weeks to release it on i-tunes.

Guest jamesshot Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Yes. But you said it yourself, you shouldn't be laughing. Madonna would be lucky to get a #1 single these days or even a Top 20 second single. *And* also, Mariah is actually selling albums. Yeah, funny how that #1 song is being way outsold on I-Tunes by 4M. That kinda tells you which song was really more popular. If not for radio support 3 times as much as Madonna and her contest to download it the most( snicker) would her song have been liked enough to still get 200,000+ downloads? I think not. And worldwide, you know every other place besides the US, Mariah is doing very pathetic. Though to be fair Madonna is underperforming WW. But Madonna's underperforming WW would be Mariah's wet dream.
