thebigham Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 HITS: WEAKEND SALES FORECAST: It’s all about Island/IDJ’s Mariah Carey this week, as she notches her best-ever first week for L.A., Steve B. and company with a total that looks headed for around 500k, give or take, good enough for #1 by a wide margin over last week’s chart-topping debut by J/Syco’s Leona Lewis, who should do between 95-100k. Disney’s Hannah Montana Best of Both Worlds is next with 40-45k, the same projected total as Warner Bros. Nashville act Lady Antebellum’s bow. SBMG/ Commercial Music Group’s Now 27 and MCA Nashville’s George Strait follow at around 40k, trailed by Razor & Tie’s Alvin and the Chipmunks soundtrack (32k) and Big Machine/Universal Republic CMT winner Taylor Swift (28-30k), with WB’s R.E.M., Island/IDJ’s Rick Ross and WB Nashville’s James Otto all battling it out for the Top 10 at about 26-28k apiece.

GOD Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 yup.. I just calculated the ratio too. I think it would be close enough. 550,000 - 600,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest iMisto Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 The only possible way M can top that(prob. CAN't), is if she has big cardboard figures of herself in all places selling her album!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jamesshot Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 After doing AI and Oprah in one week( 2 AI shows) she should do better than 500k. Honestly. I think that is low for doing that kind of publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afrolito Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 500k is an amazing achievement for any artist, in this era of dwindling record sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jamesshot Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 500k is an amazing achievement for any artist, in this era of dwindling record sales. Under normal circumstances, yes. She is coming off her huge "comeback" CD plus appearances on hugely popular Oprah and 2 eppys of AI( with about 25 million viewers though I understand her shows were lower rated). Still, huge numbers of viewers. She should be able to do 650-700k with all that. I think she is on the decline again. Touch My discolored bunghole only made it to #1 due to a fan contest of downloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marsha Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Like Mariah or not, that's huge (I think it's unnecessary to add I don't like her, that's why I won't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bad Robot Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 500k is an amazing achievement for any artist, in this era of dwindling record sales. Agreed. I believe this would also be Mariah's highest opening week, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jamesshot Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Last time I felt it. I felt she was gonna be huge. This time? I feel like her last CD was her one comeback. Her shit sounds the same and I agree with others that say Leona will fill the void of someone who is better and newer. This new album will open big, as we all agree, but I don't think she will sustain it. I don't know anyone really, that likes her to much. I hear more and more comments that her songs sound the same. Her passing Elvis has been a blessing in disguise because all the diehard music fans( and critics) who have ignored her are starting to sharpen their claws at her expense.
