Hard Candy around the worldwide charts


Guest Hafo

Recommended Posts

Down to #20 in Mexico. Hasn't left the Top 40 at all!

Back into the Top 20 Argentina's biweekly retail chart at #7.

Up to #86 in Germany.

It could be argued that she hasn't left the Argentina Top 20 (on the public sales chart anyway) since release. Yes?

I am still a little happy she's holding on in Germany. I wonder if double-platinum is a realistic possibility there soon.

Nov 15-30 biweekly chart in Argentina was not released to the public. HC was on its way down the charts, but technically yes, since we don't know the position we can only assume it hasn't left the chart.

WorldwideAlbums.Net (not UWC) has HC at #9, yes...

  1. Coldplay Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends 6.376.000
  2. Amy Winehouse Back To Black 4.754.000
  3. AC/DC Black Ice 4.627.000
  4. Duffy Rockferry 4.296.000
  5. Leona Lewis Spirit 4.045.000
  6. Soundtrack Mamma Mia! 3.694.000
  7. Metallica Death Magnetic 3.477.000
  8. Rihanna Good Girl Gone Bad 3.420.000
  9. Madonna Hard Candy 3.228.000
  10. Lil Wayne Tha Carter III 3.115.000

However, the year isn't over for another week - although I doubt much will change with HC. I don't know how well Tha Carter III is selling or if it could even overtake HC in one more week.

are mediatraffic numbers higher?

Not for HC they won't be. MediaTraffic only counts the numbers registered while the album was in their Top 40 chart. The one above continues to track and estimate HC sales since its release. MediaTraffic will have it at 3.06 million or something. I don't remember the exact total when it left their chart. It had JUST crossed 3 million though.

Yes.

This list is obviously not entirely accurate though as the IFPI list for 2001 has the Japanese act Utada in the Top 15 and this one doesn't.

Nightsahde, could you please do a comprehensive sales list with all figures known from each country?

Like...

USA - 700,000

France - 220,000

UK - 300,000

Japan - 252,000

etc, etc... I'd love to have that information.

Sure thing...I will list what I have information for (perhaps Hafo or someone else could correct me if I am off)...

U.S.A. - 699,000

UK - 320,000

France - 230,000 (260,000 reportedly shipped)

Japan - 252,520

Germany - 204,000 (fairly higher now most likely)

Canada - 170,000

Australia - 70,000

Brazil - 64,000

Italy - 196,304

Spain - 50,000

Netherlands - 88,484

Mexico - 80,000

Belgium - 30,000

Switzerland - 55,000

Austria - 20,000

Sweden - 20,000

Russia - 60,000

Taiwan - 7,000 (rumored to be)

Argentina - 40,000

Denmark - 30,000

Portugal - 10,000

Finland - 19,548

Greece - 15,000

Czech Republic - 10,850 (rumored)

Cyprus - 6,000 (rumored)

South Korea - 4,525

Singapore - 12,000

Israel - 8,000

The Philippines - 10,000 (rumored)

Chile - 7,500

Ukraine - 25,000

* Obviously some of these may be incorrect since the rumored ones were taken from UKMix as reported by people in those countries or who claim to have the data. Also, many of these numbers were last reported in the mid-summer and as such, may be a little higher (Germany, Mexico, Canada).

Hope that helps you. :)

Thanks very much Nightshade.

according to your numbers, HC's sold around 2.8 to 2.9 mils, so shipping figure must be higher than that.
