Guest jamesshot Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I am glad you posted this one... ignore Alexz Jay... Yes, since they have albums out at the same time, it is natural to compare them. And they are both in a league of their own as music stars so its natural. Relax Alexz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tir69 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Next week 4 Minutes for sure will be again nr 1 but on the album chart I think there's a challenge between Hard Candy and Duffy. HC in my opinion has 40% chance to stay for a 4th week at 1 and Duffy 60%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest traherne Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) Mariah (5 weeks) US (YTD): 886,020 WW (YTD): 1,320,214 Madonna (3 weeks) US (YTD): 427,001 WW (YTD): 1,384,000 I have NOTHING against Mariah, but someone needs to send this to Roger Friedman. That said, album sales really are in the sh**ter. Will HC cross the 5-million mark? Edited May 25, 2008 by traherne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexz Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 The Euro chart is based on points not sales. Madonna could be #1 in Latvia, Bulgaria and Chipre and Duffy #1 in the UK yet Madonna would have more points but not more sales. Did I made this clear?

Guest Hafo Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Alexz: Eurochart covers mostly Western Europe, but as you say it's point based, with the big 3 (UK, FR, DE) getting a bigger percentage. From MediaTraffic main chart: MADONNA'S 'HARD CANDY' OCCUPIES THE TOP SPOT A FOURTH CONSECUTIVE WEEK AND SOLD ANOTHER 200.000 COPIES... ... AND ON THE TRACK CHART HER '4 MINUTES' SHINES HIGH ABOVE THE COMPETITION FOR A SEVENTH WEEK IN A ROW. Now the album page is updated. It sold 198.000, for a total of 1.582.000. Usher will be #1 next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest aaronj Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 4 to 5 more weeks with 450.000 points and above per week and 4 Minutes will be in the Top Achievement chart. And I think Apologize will over take Believe as the #1 Top Achievement soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightshade Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 The Media Traffic numbers this week seem a tad high. There is a meltdown going on over at UKMix about them.

I saw the topic on ukmix , as always Mj Dangerous isn't agree if the sales are good for some artists, he's happy only when he can talk about a flop. This happen with Mariah, Madonna,Celine etc.. anyway , Mediatraffic isn't an official source and in my opinion they wrong sometimes , they didn't count the sales if the album isn't in their top 40 and this is a huge mistakes. For examples if an artist stay at nr 41 for 10 weeks these weeks aren't added to the numbers reaches when the album was on the top 40, this is insane cause they compile an album chart of all time without a lot of sales date.

Guest Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 That Michael Jackson freak fan on UKmix (MJDangerous) is bitching around because he knows that Madonna will outsell Michael Jackson during the next years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hafo Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Nobody has claimed those sales to be accurate, but it's the same methodology they use for all albums: known sales for the biggest markets, then an approximation based on chart position and market size for the rest. So not sure why people complain that much. The only known, factual sales we know of HC are the 2.5 million copies shipped by Warners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
