Kyoko Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Leona is starting to close in on Madonna. Hopefully Madge can fend her off all week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtzlplk Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Leona is starting to close in on Madonna. Hopefully Madge can fend her off all week. tough task, she was promoting last week, then her album will be released this week... but I am really amazed by 4 Minutes strong showing in downloads... who would've thought she'll outlast MC in just a week... and she even beats current up and coming artist like LEONA ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- popularity bars for SUNDAY US ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LEONA is surging ahead... it's not that 4M is declining, the other songs aren't gaining in length, it's just that BLEEDING LOVE is gaining fast... oh please let MADONNA eke out a week at #1...

franxisco66 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Vow at bloody Leona, she may go number one again as both airplay and sales are increasing fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullaBarbie Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Leona will be nr 1 for sure in the beginning week. Then a week after that Mimis promo will start. As for last week, Madonna has a small chance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveProfusion Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I don't think M will sell 280.000 I think just above 200.000 is more realistic. She didn't have any promo besides airplay. She will have a better chance when remixes are out, the maxisingle, the video...it will be interesting and we'll see. I think the album will open bigger then COADF which was more European oriented.

eroticromance Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Maybe 4 Minutes can resist at #1, now the video is out. In Uk there are already good effects on downloads. We will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two weeks ago Leona's downloads were 186.928 and last week she seems to be stronger in popularity and in airplay. So probably she is around 220k. This would mean Madge is around 260-280k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebigham Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Ask Billboard at Billboard.com: '4 MINUTES' OF FAME Hi Keith, Madonna's new video "4 Minutes" made its world premiere April 3 on iTunes, amidst lots of hype at the online digital store. This begs the question: do music video sales at iTunes (or any other digital retailer) count toward the charts, specifically the Hot 100? At first, I didn't think so, but then I realized that video streams, along with their audio counterpart, count toward the Hot 100. Furthermore, video/DVD singles count toward the chart, so why not music video sales at digital sites? On the flip side, though, music video airplay (on TV networks) does not count toward the Hot 100. So, I'd appreciate it if you could clear this one up for the avid chart fans out there. Thanks. Jim Radenhausen Stroudsburg, Penn. Hi Jim, Silvio Pietrolungo, who manages the Billboard Hot 100, responds: "It has been discussed. At the moment, since iTunes is the sole digital retailer (or at the very least the primary vendor) of video downloads, they have been reluctant to provide us that information since it would reveal sales numbers for only their company. And the feeling was mutual on our end as we do not utilize any data streams which come solely from one retailer." So, hopefully that clears it up for you Jim! Now, if only other retailers started selling video downloads, then maybe music video clip sales could be factored into the Hot 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carta Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Remixes and maxi-single dont mean a shit and the video is out. Remixes and maxi-single = more sales. Even if the maxi only sells 10k and the remixes 15k between them all, that's 25k in additional sales. Would you want to throw away 25k sales, especially when a #1 single is at stake? Remember, TUTBMP got to #1 by just 3 chart points....THREE! That's the difference between a dozen people choosing to buy one single over another, or a small radio station spinning one track over another just one more time (OK, so I'm guessing here, but you get the point!).

sniper Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 This popularity bar is for 24h of downloads for sure since sunday 12PM till monday 12PM Mariah was #1 last monday and tuesday. So difference between TMB and 4M on weekly chart of downloads will be 3/4 (TMB = 75% of 4M, not 65% like it looks on last bar) my predictions 280K for 4M 210K (75%) for TMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 my predictions 280K for 4M 210K (75%) for TMB Factor in downloads from other outlets and streaming and if this prediction is correct, we have ourselves on fuckin close battle for #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horn Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I believe BL's download will peak within 2 weeks since her album has just been released and dun be surprise if it overtakes 4M on iTunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOD Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 If this continues BL would be #1 and 4M might remain at #3-4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horn Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 If this continues BL would be #1 and 4M might remain at #3-4? Downloads normally peak during the release of the new album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 If this continues BL would be #1 and 4M might remain at #3-4? No. Madonna should be at #2 or #1 on Billboard this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtzlplk Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 No. Madonna should be at #2 or #1 on Billboard this week. yeah... it's either #1 or #2 for MADONNA on wednesday... *much excite* as for this coming week, if the MARIAH appearance on IDOL GIVES BACK don't slow down the TMB freefall, MADONNA's competition will be only LEONA and possibly USHER, he also debuts his video this week... a minor sales uptick from USHER and he's back in #1...

Guest Qbanito21 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 so is 4 minutes going to be #1 on the digital chart? i think its a safe bet to say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bad Robot Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 It's 99% certain 4M will be #1 on Digital Songs. Where will it be on the Hot 100? I'm not as optimistic for #1 as some are here but I'm not entirely unbelieving. Usher/Mariah/Madonna/Leona are all in a tight race I think.

Guest Bad Robot Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 We need to have group therapy here. Watching the charts is a lot more fun when you don't get so emotionally invested in it! I'm happy to see her do well but frankly everything is icing on the cake at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
