Guest danielal Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 So the sales uncounted by CCA will still count to madonna overall sales won't they? I mean they will not be lost in space...no?
franxisco66 Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 So the sales uncounted by CCA will still count to madonna overall sales won't they? I mean they will not be lost in space...no? Bloody Tesco.... I hope they withdraw that offer soon, otherwise it will kill catalogue sales
Guest Hafo Posted May 6, 2008 Posted May 6, 2008 They still count for shipments, which is the important tally at the end of the day.
Dickens Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Oh dear. I think Kylie's "X" is turning out to be the UK equivalent of Janet's "Discipline" in the US. Except that at least Kylie can sing.
Guest boytoyville Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 That sucks. I guess it's good for Warners though as Tesco is buying the albums form them & selling them at a loss all on their own.
Guest boytoyville Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 So they aren't counting the catalogue sales for the chart but they are still counting Hard Candy sales right? Hard Candy should still have all it's sales count & tope the chart for second week?
Alexz Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 That sucks. I guess it's good for Warners though as Tesco is buying the albums form them & selling them at a loss all on their own. It's not a loss for Tesco. Buyers will now buy more CDs from them knowing they have such offers once in a while. Madonna's back catalogue is at 4.99 £ on iTunes as well.
Guest Hafo Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 We hope so. Tomorrow's midweeks may give a better idea of HC's performance, it's expected that all missing sales from Sun/Mon will be added. James Masterson's commentary this week: Well this shouldn't take long. All the chart headlines this week belong to Madonna who not only retains top place on the singles chart but also sees long awaited parent album 'Hard Candy' shoulder all competition neatly out of the way on the album chart. In doing so she sets yet another benchmark, becoming only the fourth act in the history of the UK charts (and the first woman naturally) to land herself ten Number One albums. At least that is the statistic you will read everywhere this week anyway. Some would dispute the exact total given that one of those albums was the Original Cast Recording of the movie version of 'Evita' which had a week at the top in early 1997, and whilst Madonna was one of the lead performers on the album she by no means had solo billing. Argue amongst yourselves as to whether that actually counts. Incidentally, the other acts with over ten Number One albums to their name? The Beatles and Elvis naturally, but also unusually for these records, the Rolling Stones who had their tenth chart-topper with 'Voodoo Lounge' back in 1994.
Guest powerofgoodbye Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Another week to continue at #1? Now 4 minutes at #1 & #54 in Itunes now. GI2M @ #103 Black & Gold @ #3, #23 & #86.
franxisco66 Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Great. I want another week at number 1. With all the forthcoming promo in the UK, I hope it sells very well. Lets hope for well-crafted videos though, not like GT or Jump....
promise to try Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Violet Hill #11 on iTunes. I´m really surprised, I thought everybody was going to buy it in a rush!!! well, wasn´t it for free last week???
promise to try Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Oh dear. I think Kylie's "X" is turning out to be the UK equivalent of Janet's "Discipline" in the US. No it´s not: Kylie´s album is underperforming.Janet´s album is a big flop
Queen Bitch Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 I wonder if Warners offloading stock of the back catalogue means we'll soon be getting some repackaged/remastered versions.

markm Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 6 In My Arms mixes for a total of £1.79!! HOW DEPSERATE. http://www.7digital.com/artists/kylie/in-m...utm_medium=site
eroticromance Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Another week to continue at #1? Now 4 minutes at #1 & #54 in Itunes now. GI2M @ #103 Black & Gold @ #3, #23 & #86. Difficult to say it now. The gap on itunes is very small. All depends on physical sales and on the forthcoming promotion.
Queen Bitch Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Warners will do it once she's left them - they'll drip feed us though, as all labels do.

Guest ercos Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 wohoo! double #1 for Madge. Same for Untied World Chart for sure... Madge rules the world!!!!
Queen Bitch Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 When is madonna on R1 then QB? Saturday night with highlights being repeated next Tuesday - neither are prime slots but I'm sure R1 will be plugging it loads.
Guest Hafo Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 HC sales are appallingly low for a second week. Hope the midweek numbers are still missing info! Otherwise we're looking at 30K sold this week
Hard Caramelo Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Hope the midweek numbers are still missing info! Otherwise we're looking at 30K sold this week Hope so too. Don´t wanna see this album selling less than COADF.
BullaBarbie Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 I doubt HC will sell a million or any close to it. Maybe 500.000?
Queen Bitch Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 HC sales are appallingly low for a second week. Hope the midweek numbers are still missing info! Otherwise we're looking at 30K sold this week I agree but if it's number 1 then so is the trend. If they get their strategy right and do a big push for the festive market then it should do one million by the year end. However, if they fuck it up and abandon things after single number 2 then it'll be lucky to do 500,000.
