Taylor Swift Reigns Again On Billboard 200
December 31, 2008 11:55 AM ET
Katie Hasty, N.Y.
Taylor Swift's sophomore Big Machine album "Fearless" tops The Billboard 200 for a fourth non-consecutive week after selling 262,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan, a 21% sales decline from last week.
With the continued success of her track "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", Beyonce's "I Am ... Sasha Fierce" (Music World/Columbia) leaps up 5-2 on a 7% sales boost to 211,000. Britney Spears' Jive set "Circus" rebounds 4-3 with 203,000 (+4%), while Nickelback's "Dark Horse" (Roadrunner) climbs 6-4 with 177,000 (-9%).
Re-entering the top tier with an 11-5 move is Kanye West's "808s and Heartbreak" (Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam), on a 16% jump in sales to 165,000 units. The Chop Shop/Atlantic soundtrack to "Twilight" moves 148,000 copies (-5%) and ascends a notch 7-6.
After a No. 2 debut last week, Keyshia Cole's "A Different Me" (Geffen) takes a 61% sales plunge to 127,000, moving the set down to No. 7. Similarly, Jamie Foxx's "Intuition" (J) experiences the same decline in its second week to 105,000 and slips 3-9.
The 29th volume of the multi-label "Now!" hits compilation climbs 10-8 on a 12% decline to 122,000. David Cook rounds out the top 10 with his self-titled 19 Recordings/RCA debut, ascending 13-10 with 101,000 (-22%).
In this last chart week of 2008, sales totaled 17.02 million, up 17% compared to the final week of 2007. However, the week ending Dec. 28, 2008 included three full days of pre-Christmas shopping. The final week of 2007 ended on Dec. 30, and only contained one day of last minute holiday shopping.)
There were 428.4 million albums sold this year, down 14.4% compared to 2007's 500.5 million. Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter III" (Cash Money/Universal) was the top seller of the year with 2.88 million copies.

Amazing #s! And HAHA @ the foolish fans here and on other forums who said awhile ago that it wouldn't be worthwhile for her to tour in "3rd world" Latin America!
Can't wait for Brazil's stats!WHO said that?

Digital Tracks Set New Weekly Record
December 30, 2008 - Digital and Mobile | Retail
By Ayala Ben-Yehuda, L.A. and Silvio Pietroluongo, N.Y.
Weekly digital track sales have set a new record, with 47.7 million sold in the U.S. between Dec. 22 – Dec. 28, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
That figure for Christmas week represents a 126% spike from the week prior, a likely reflection of consumers redeeming download gift cards or receiving MP3 players as gifts. The week’s top-selling digital song was Interscope artist Lady GaGa’s “Just Dance,” with 419,000 downloads.
Total digital track sales this year were 1,070,000,000 – up 27% from 2007, based on full year-end data.
All but two songs on Billboard’s Hot Digital Songs chart increased their sales by triple-digit percentages last week. During the corresponding week last year, ten songs on that chart sold more than 200,000 downloads; this Christmas week, 15 songs did so.

That's great! Well, not the sales levels but I always love it when she hits #1 somewhere in Billboard.
Thanks for posting!

I've never heard of a city named Scotland? Where is it?
Varsovie also sounds very interesting... did you mean Warsaw?
You know exactly what he meant.
-
Who's big in Japan now?
Do you remember that guy that had a "Mariah 6 shows in Japan, Madonna 4 shows, who's the Queen?" signature?
-
How is Miles Away "dance" anyway, did they send a Dance Mix or something?
-
Shows in Brazil were filmed too, no?
-
It did on the sales chart. #3 Hot 100.
-
Why would you hate how radio influences the chart? It's been part of the Hot 100 since its inception in 1958. Is that because, then, a certain track would be No. 1 without airplay in the mix? Come on now.
We all want "certain" tracks to go #1 sometimes... something like 4 Minutes or Circus that were DENIED from #1.

Oh, HITS underestimated.
-
I hate that radio influences the chart.

Britney's total should be around 697,000 ^_^

The journalist Sonia Racy, from the brazilian Estadão.com.br news website, said that during the W Magazine photoshoot (next wednesday) Madonna will share the set with some popular soap opera brazilian actors, especially Reynaldo Gianecchini, Rodrigo Hilbert and Cauã Reymond. For those who don't know them, here are some pictures:

Poor brave 3 hit wonder Leona
* 1 hit wonder in other continents.

LMAO at the record being broken every 7 days

No sales info yet?

True, but it could have been the language barrier. People who don't speak English are more likely to know the words to the classic songs since they've heard them so often. Sorry isn't a classic song...
Sorry IS a classic, thankyouverymuch. Everybody knows the words.
BOXSCORE: S&S grossed $407.7 million!!! Attended by 3.5 million people!

PROVED WRONG I SEE :vanitybonet:
