Guest dicktracy Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Just because "Thriller 25" is selling decent doesn't mean his new album will sell. First off the album "Thriller" was hugely successful and still popular to this day, which is thanks in part to the video which is always in the top 10 on itunes and elsewhere so of course people want to know what all the hoopla is about. I'm talking about younger people here btw about who weren't around when Michaelmania was at it's peak and only know him for his sex abuse cases and plastic surgery and not for his music and talent. Rememer though, people like OLD MJ. They like the MJ from the 80's, who was seen as normal, not the FREAK he's turned himself into today. True Michael has a loyal fanbase, but they are not enough to help give him a major comeback that he surely wants. He must have the general public embrace him for him to be successful again, but considering the fact that he's recieved more negative press than just about ANY artist or celebrity in history, I don't see it happening. It will take a miracle for him to go platinum in the U.S. with his next release (whenver that's coming out). I'm guessing his new one sells anywhere from 2-3 million tops World Wide, if that much. His reputation is beyond tarnished and will NEVER recover, but he can still have some moderate success possibly. Michael is HUGE in Germany!!!!

Supernatural Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Thriller is played in Geico commercials that air a lot, that probably helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Thriller is played in Geico commercials that air a lot, that probably helps. I thought it was that silly Life Water stuff? In anycase the song should have NEVER been used for that. Sad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoko Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Strawberry is just mad because an old ass album from MJ outsold Janet's last 2 albums combined. Invincible sold that much while MJ was at war with the label. Anyone remember all that crazy shit? I think (as usual) people will be surprised how a proper MJ cd does with support from the artist and label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebigham Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 My freind Ed: Full trajectories below. "4 Minutes" loses its bullet on all charts except Adult Top 40 where it is an "Airpower" selection. "Give It 2 Me" no longer appears on any chart, but would seem poised for a return in the not too distant future.

thebigham Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 HITS: YOUR WEAKEND TOP 10 CHART PREVIEW: Next week’s Top 5 should all be north of 100k for the first time this year and with much less stratum than in previous weeks. Six of our projected Top 10 entries are debuts, and a seventh, Chris Brown, is resurging thanks to his deluxe edition hitting the streets. Topping next week’s chart will be the debuting Disturbed (Reprise) with 235-250k, followed by two more bows in DGC/Geffen’s Weezer at 150-160k and Capitol’s Now 28 at 145-155k. Usher appears headed for #4 with 140-150k, with Journey’s Wal-Mart exclusive locking down the fifth slot on 100-110k. The projected second five are Ashanti (Universal Motown) with 75-85k, Sex and the City (New Line) with 55-60k, second-week entry 3 Doors Down (Universal Republic)45-50k, Jewel (Valory) with 45-50k and Chris Brown (Jive) with 35-40k.

I think (as usual) people will be surprised how a proper MJ cd does with support from the artist and label. Excuse me, but how is 3.5 million less than 1.5 Million? Because that's exactly what Janet's last two albums sold together combined and that's much more than the 1.5 million that the s*itty re-re-re-re-re-re-release of "Thriller" sold. At least Janet is still releasing NEW material and touring, unlike Jacko who seems content living in the past and re-releasing old albums. You don't see Janet re-releasing "Rhythm Nation" or "Control" like her crazed brother now do you? Right because Janet is not that sad and pathetic. She doesn't live in the past and keeps giving her fans new and fresh material. She is the only Jackson keeping the music legacy alive and is the only relevant one in the entire family . "Little Sister" has surpassed big bro and has lasted longer in the music business too, . I love it! GO JANET! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest socalboy1984 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Janet hasn't been relevant since her boob popped out at Superbowl! Amen. I'm digging that "Feedback" song but calling Janet relevant? Let's be realistic here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intervention_78 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Janet is hardly relevant outside your bedroom. I think Janet might be down but not out. All she's gotta do is come out with a good album. The good thing about Janet is that at least she's taken more risk with her career than Mariah ever will....anyways has she even taken any risks or always play on the safe side because of being afraid not to get a #1? I'm pretty sure you would know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexz Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 If Mariah takes risks or not, that doesn't matter. We're discussing Janet, and serioysly, I see no risks in releasing Feedback at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intervention_78 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Yeah you're right Mariah wouldn't know anything about taking risks. I didn't say Janet took any risks in releasing Feedback, that was just a crappy song and I really don't know much about the ablum because I didn't bother to buy it. Her music hasn't really interst me since AFU. Prior to that, youcan definately say that she took a big risks in releasing GTIG (from the VR) and even Scream...back then she was on top of her game compare to now. And also this isn't just a Janet thread that's why I brought in Mariah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
