Guest dicktracy Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I agree that somewhere around 100K, either higher or lower by 20K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigham Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I think it will sell about 72K on its first week in the US but I think it will have legs and stay in the Billboard 200 charts for 20 weeks or so. I'm expecting something like this week 1: 72K week 2: 30K week 3: 22K week 4: 19K week 5: 16K week 6: 17K week 7: 30K week 8: 40K week 9: 30K week 10: 25K week 11: 50K week 12: 50K week 13: 18K and then go down from there I would love for the first week sales to be above 100K but I'm doubting it this time around That's 419k.

fak Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Its funny but Music sold just under twice as much more in the USA at the end. Taking into account the fact that USA population is 5 times more. It sold 175% more in the USA first week sales but just under 100% less at the end - what went wrong? WOW - AL has the more reflective figures of the difference between USA and UK population but at the end it sold just over 100% more in the USA COADF's experienced the least drop in % but has very close UK-US sales. Music USA: 420,000 UKL 152,000 **Sold roughly 175% more in the USA than UK in the first week. GHV2 USA: 150,000 UK: 88,000(?) **Sold roughly 70% more in USA than UK in first week American Life USA: 241,000 UK: 65,000(?) ** Sold roughly 270% more in the USA than UK in first week Confessions on a Dance Floor USA: 350,000 UK: 217,000 **Sold roughly 61% more in USA than UK in first week Hard Candy USA: 280,000 UK: 94,000(?) **Sold roughly 198% more in USA than UK in first week So, let's say the USA figure ends up 65% higher than in the UK- if it sells 60K in the UK, that would be 99,000. Keep in mind that "Celebration" is a hit single in the UK, but we don't really know what impact that has on a compilation, though. If it's lucky, the ratio will be a little higher.. COADF's UK debut was astounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fak Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I wont be surprised if it will be closer to 150k afterall its a career spanner but with so little promo. It very hard to predict where this will end up but Im expecting/hoping more than 100,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 ...Yeah i remember Confessions' opening week, i was totally blown away! I think its her second best opener before IMC which did much higher in 1990. In the UK i reckon Celebration will debut at #1 with 75k sold In the US, hopefully around 120k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Qbanito21 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I hope she has a top 10 debut though! I mean a 75K will be good enough for top 10 right? all her albums have gone top 10 right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 All of her major releases have hit the top 10. Thse have not: You Can Dance: No. 14 Evita (single-disc): No. 167 Remixed and Revisited EP: No. 115 I'm Going to tell You a Secret: No. 33 The Confessions Tour: No. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightshade Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 If the Aguilera virus can move 74,000 copies of her "greatest hits" last fall (and only available at the Target chain to boot), surely Madonna can do equal to or better, yes?

HolidayGuy Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 ^She had a single that fared better than "Celebration," but, yeah, I would think so. The album's going to open near 70K in the UK- the album SHOULD sell comfortably more in the USA, just going by past trends. If it were to sell less in the USA than the UK, that would be a big story for the press, as that has never happened (at least in the era of actual sales tracking).

Candylipsgirl Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 IM more concerned with continous sales for long periods to come. Celebration will kill TIC and STR future sales and hopefully become a must have for music lovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherish Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 She'll be outsold by Barbara and Mariah, so probably a debut at #3 or #4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're mistaken. On itunes - Barbra is at 52; Mariah is at 67 and Madonna is at 115 On amazon - Barbra is at 1 and 6; Madonna is at around 14 and Mariah is at around 17.

HolidayGuy Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 iTunes pre-order rankings are odd- when first available for preorder, an album climbs up the chart. It then eases down, and it can be way down the chart, and then once Tuesday hits, it instantly appear in the top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knocka Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Probably a safe bet that Babs and Mariah will both beat her. I do think M can pull in around 100k though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madonna-Greece Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I really hope that Barbra Streisand will be #1 next week! That will teach Mariblah a lesson because full of herself she moved the release of her new album to September 29th just to deprive her biggest US rivals(Barbra and Madonna) of another #1!

jink Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I thought around 50k originally, but considering its UK sales... anything less than 80k would be a pretty big shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
