Guest gone_27 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 can anyone post a YTD list album 2008 in USA please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encore Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 she just shouldnt care what will sell in america and make the music she loves. i hope she continues to make avant-garde sounding albums with new producers in the future. it would be great if she works with lenny kravitz and patrick leonard again. kissing american ass didnt matter album sales at all..

HolidayGuy Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 promise, yah, of course Billboard is sold. If you're looking for it, call local bookstores, newsstands, those types of things. As a note, COADF logged 37 weeks total on the Billboard 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ercos Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 ive always expected that Hc would sell better than COADF... what a letdown!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promise to try Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 ive always expected that Hc would sell better than COADF... what a letdown!! me too! I was expecting that this album would be a 2 million seller in the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eroticromance Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 me too! I was expecting that this album would be a 2 million seller in the US Coadf didn't reach 2 millions after 3 years (and it was released 6 weeks before Xmas time), so how do u expect HC to outsell it in just 3 months?! At least wait for the forth single!! You really need to be spanked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eroticromance Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Thanks for the list. In my opinion she has good chances to be in the top10 for the end of the year, but she cannot go too far without performing on tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LoveAngelMusicBaby Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 So then what's everyone b9tching about, isn't this album pretty much a moderate hit? I mean it's not this utter flop everyone said it was. By today's standards, the declining album sales overall in the industry etc, can this album be considered a moderate success?

boy skeffington Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 In today's market, it's doing great. If it actually reaches 1 million sales, it will be a HUGE hit in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FedFed Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Thanks for the list. In my opinion she has good chances to be in the top10 for the end of the year, but she cannot go too far without performing on tv. well... i don;t think so, new releases, especially the one around Oct, Nov will pass HC in less than two months. but wait and hope for a new and different strategy from Warner, different single around the world will be the right one.

Guest Nichu94 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 well... i don;t think so, new releases, especially the one around Oct, Nov will pass HC in less than two months. but wait and hope for a new and different strategy from Warner, different single around the world will be the right one. Miles Away europe and Japan Beat Usa It could be a good strategy... Anyway I don't think Madonna or WB is gonna use it... I think they don't want 2 singles in the worldwide charts at the same time... BGO IMO could be a hit in Europe too... right choice as a 3rd single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franxisco66 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Yes BGO is a better choice for Europe than Miles away, should be released once the tour kicks off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LoveAngelMusicBaby Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Was this her shortest era ever, or does that go to American Life? Hey at least 4 minutes was a huge hit. NO one expected that. I don't want to say that the Hard Candy era is over, it wouldn't be fair, but....god it had so much potential. It's as if she didn't even care. She's lucky 4 minutes succeeded like it did.

promise to try Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 and I also think BGO can work in Europe, but I also thought that about GI2M, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nichu94 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 The era is not over I just wanna say a thing: let's wait! Everything could happen at this point. Maybe GI2M could become a hit in Europe, or maybe next week it will be already out the euro top ten, maybe BGO could help a lot in USA and flop in EU, or maybe she won't release it, or maybe she's gonna release 5 singles and the album will have longevity... I mean WHO KNOWS? Everything could happen... we only have to wait... maybe at the end of the year we will be very surprised I'm sure of 1 thing: Madonna is not stupid and after 25 years she knows how to be THE QUEEN!

Guest demitri Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 There's no way HC can be considered a flop. Selling over 0.5million albums now is probably like selling a little over a million in 1990. That's like saying Erotica was a flop. You have to take into consideration that albums these days dont sell like they did 2 decades ago. And besides its lead single was a huge hit, that qualifies it for something. btw, am I the only one who hates the HC cover? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franxisco66 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 It is not a complete flop, but c'mon, we cant say it is a moderate success either. Selling a million would be acceptable for today's sales, but not less than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling a million would be acceptable for today's sales, but not less than that. Selling one million in the US today (especially if the album is not released in Nov/Dec) is HUGE...only a handful of albums do it per year. She's sold more than almost anyone else worldwide this year. This album is not a flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 So, Mimi scanning 1.1m is acceptable for her? It's all situation-based, can't really use a general rule of thumb. Mimi's last album did 5.85m+, Madge's 1.67m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boy skeffington Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Anyone expecting E=KFC to get anywhere near the numbers MIMI is crazy. Had MIMI not done those numbers, her numbers would be more impressive. She's just such a shameless whore about chart positions, it's almost pleasurable to see her balloon deflated a bit.
