mtzlplk Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 uh oh... so it's only on track for 225k to 250k now? :dramatic:
Catboy Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 uh oh... so it's only on track for 225k to 250k now? :dramatic: and Janet managed 181k with a flop single
mtzlplk Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 i estimated 250K. its better to be surprised than disappointed, huh? well, we can overestimate and still not feel disappointed... it's just the same as underestimating just for the sake of not being disappointed... the real moral of the story is for WBR and MADONNA: FROM NOW ON, RELEASE NEW ALBUMS ONLY DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON... and dare i say it? MADONNA deserves this sales debut...
StrawberryBounce12 Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 and Janet managed 181k with a flop single Feedback did not flop.....
Catboy Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 NO HE IS NOT THAT TITLE BELONG TO U BRAINDEAD FYCKERS AROUND HERE :lmao:
mtzlplk Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 NO HE IS NOT THAT TITLE BELONG TO U BRAINDEAD FYCKERS AROUND HERE :rotfl:
mtzlplk Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 well, i was predicting 600,000... so this is a real disappointment. and also an understatement i bet
Alexz Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 well, i was predicting 600,000... so this is a real disappointment. WHY did you predict 600k anyway? WHY OH WHY?
mtzlplk Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 yeah. i don't get it either. i would've expected a bigger opening than COADF. did she promote COADF more? for the US, she appeared in David Letterman, a commercial and some radio promo... an exposure at CSI: Miami... and of course the EMAs made news worldwide, the first time the infamous leotard was seen LIVE...
Skin Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 for the US, she appeared in David Letterman, a commercial and some radio promo... an exposure at CSI: Miami... and of course the EMAs made news worldwide, the first time the infamous leotard was seen LIVE... And she did TRL right before it hit right? And one of those Dateline type shows. And a few morning shows. And did she do Regis?
mtzlplk Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 And she did TRL right before it hit right? And one of those Dateline type shows. And a few morning shows. And did she do Regis? Yeah, i forgot about TRL... all i can vividly remember is that after appearing on Letterman, she immediately went to Europe for the EVMA early November... she was at Letterman around Oct 20-21 i think, when the HU single was released Oct 17... I can't remember if she went back to US after EVMAs... if we are to compare the amount of promo she did for COADF and HC, we can say that HC had a lot more... yes HC had more compared to COADF but the problem is her HC promos are for niche audience (magazine covers, dozen radio interviews, today show don't count) unlike COADF promos which may be few but reaches a wider audience... (Letterman, TRL, CSI:Miami, EVMAs and TV ad announcing the album's arrival)... those are few but very well-targetted promos...
Dindi Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 To be honest, I think the amount of promo isn't all that different. I really don't think her appearances on Letterman really drive album sales. Maybe, just maybe, it really is the overall poor sales climate. I was hoping with a huge lead single she was going to be able to overcome it. I guess not. It's not the end of the world and at least it's yet another #1 album. I'm hoping like everyone else this album will have better legs and not suffer the all too common 60-70% sales dive during the second week.
mtzlplk Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 I'm hoping like everyone else this album will have better legs and not suffer the all too common 60-70% sales dive during the second week. but let's brace ourselves for it... she's not going to do any US promo next week...
Dindi Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 but let's brace ourselves for it... she's not going to do any US promo next week... True. At this point expect the worst.
mtzlplk Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 True. At this point expect the worst. just want to mention this... MARIAH has an extensive 2nd week promo... GMA performances and that Empire State Building thingy and still fell 61%... so a lot worse may happen when you do no promo for the 2nd week we'll lean of the good "word of mouth" promo when the buyers hear how good this album really is... because it is really good...
Kyoko Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Mariah was also on Gayle King's XM radio show today. This woman leaves no stone unturned.
mtzlplk Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Mariah was also on Gayle King's XM radio show today. This woman leaves no stone unturned. and so she deserves reaping her big album sales in the US as rightful rewards for the hard work she's doing...
MLVC82 Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 something doesn't seem right...she has the #1 album on I-Tunes and AMAZON......plus all those sales (the physicalone's) and they are only predicting maybe 300? anybody want to chime in here?
Kyoko Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Seems odd to me too but remember internet album sales are low regardless. That's why some weird ass albums are sometimes Top 10 at iTunes but barely anywhere on the BB album chart.
Kyoko Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 and so she deserves reaping her big album sales in the US as rightful rewards for the hard work she's doing... 4 Minutes is promoting this album right now, which isn't a bad idea but a little more interest in the project from M would sell some more.
Guest missy bi_tch Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 forget it...swan song or not, madonna isn't gonna care... she put out her last studio LP for warner bros. she couldn't wait to leave...
Zezwer Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 just want to mention this... MARIAH has an extensive 2nd week promo... GMA performances and that Empire State Building thingy and still fell 61%... so a lot worse may happen when you do no promo for the 2nd week we'll lean of the good "word of mouth" promo when the buyers hear how good this album really is... because it is really good... Mariah freaking made a fool out of herself on GMA... after that mess of performance and attititude sales should have been dropping 100%!
Zezwer Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 NO HE IS NOT THAT TITLE BELONG TO U BRAINDEAD FYCKERS AROUND HERE
Zezwer Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Does the show at ROSELAND can make her sales higher ? nope only some deluded people on here think so... if it would have been shown on TV... then maybe... now it's just a fan-affair...
nahedum Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 nope only some deluded people on here think so... if it would have been shown on TV... then maybe... now it's just a fan-affair... Now my only hope is the second week sale not decrese more than 50%
SkyHigh76 Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Feedback did not flop..... :Feedback" didn't even reach the Top 10.I think it peaked at Number 19?
SexPistol Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 well, we can overestimate and still not feel disappointed... it's just the same as underestimating just for the sake of not being disappointed... the real moral of the story is for WBR and MADONNA: FROM NOW ON, RELEASE NEW ALBUMS ONLY DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON... and dare i say it? MADONNA deserves this sales debut... you're saying madonna should schedule her albums around the christmas holiday? that's just plain silly.
notsomuch Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 No one knows if the Internet broadcast will increase sales or not. Who knows how many people watched it?
