iasonas Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Look at Coldplay's digital sales and they have NO airplay!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camacho Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 That iTunes commercial airs A LOT. More than Madonna's Sunsilk ad was getting. Coldplay are probably getting more exposure through that commercial than whatever is the #1 airplay song this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Coldplay has around 11m-12m audience for both of its singles- not great, but it goes along with the ads exposure. Nice hold for HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Looking at Mediabase numbers and digital sales, 4M looks like it will end up at No. 11 on the Hot 100- it will be jumped by "Pocketful of Sunshine" and most likely Chris Brown's "Forever."

Guest jamesshot Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'd like to point out to nothingfails0603 that Lil Wayne is predicted to sell 850-950k for the biggest opening week of the year, harshly countering his stance that the Hot 100 doesn't reflect what people want. The HOT 100 is not all that reflective of what people want. However, Airplay creates demand as well. If you don't hear it, how you going to know you like it and go buy it? Sometimes what they play, the people like it and go buy it. Obviously, they do Lil Wayne. Whoop-de-doo. I have seen teens being exposed to different genres besides hip hop( when that was all they listened to) like on Houston's 95.7 where they play everything but it has a hip hop slant. Suddenly, all the teens like Finger Eleven's Paralyzer. First time they heard it was when 95.7 switched formats and they thought it was mostly a hip hop station( which it is) but they play a variety( even Miley Cyrus). AND they like Madonna because they play her song and they like that song. Its about exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebigham Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 HITS: New Lil Wayne Album Will be Year’s Biggest Debut, Targeted for 900k+ June 11, 2008 In Weezy we trust. The music industry finally has something to shout about. Thanks to an unprecedented pre-release blitz and the smash single, "Lollipop," Lil Wayne’s eagerly awaited Universal Motown release Tha Carter III is on target to sell more than 900k albums this week, almost twice as much as the previous record-holder, Mariah Carey’s E=MC2, which debuted with 475k last April. That’s based on one-day sales reports from beleaguered music retailers grateful for a little hot fun in the summertime. If there’s brisk foot traffic across the country this Father’s Day weekend, Tha Carter III could even challenge Kanye West’s Graduation, which bowed with 957k last September. Not bad for an album which leaked all over the web last week. It’s the biggest debut week ever for Sylvia Rhone’s Universal Motown, topping Nelly’s total of 714k back in June ’02. Slip N Slide/Atlantic Tampa rapper Plies’ Definition of Real, which includes guest appearances from Ne-Yo, J. Holiday, Keyshia Cole, Trey Songz, Jamie Foxx and The-Dream, looks to be in the 225-250k area. The prolific hip-hop artist is reportedly about to drop a second disc by the end of the year. Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo’s band alter ego (with Shay Haley) N.E.R.D. come out with Seeing Sounds, their first album for Interscope, which will sell about 90k, give or take. Rock crit and Louisville jam band acolytes My Morning Jacket are receiving big buzz for their latest on ATO, Evil Urges, which could do as much as 50k in first-week sales. Alanis Morissette gets over the loss of boyfriend Ryan Reynolds to Scarlett Johansson with her new Maverick/Reprise album, Flavors of Entanglement, by consoling herself with 45-50k in sales. Hitting retail on Tuesday is Coldplay’s Viva La Vida on Capitol, with EMI’s immediate future banking on its success. Don’t feel too much pressure on yourself, Chris Martin. The market was up 5% vs last week, down 14% vs same week last year and now down 11% year-to-date. We now return you to your regularly scheduled web-surfing for porn.

Alexz Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 The UK is not the whole Europe. And American imports usually have huge budgets to launch a career outside. I'm gonna predict Europeans will fall for his crap sooner or later. BUAHAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUAHAHA UK is the biggest european market for urban music (and in general embraces more easily every american hit rather than any other country)...if UK doesnt embrace it , no other european country will...for example 'Low' which was huge in USA and quite big in UK was never a big hit in the rest of Europe..

DreamTheater Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I for one am happy for any sign that the music industry is still alive and people still care about buying albums. Coldplay should follow next week and they will be huge globally. Also very happy about HC's performance. Any questions about it outselling American Life are now pointless.

HolidayGuy Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Billboard.com Lil Wayne A Lock To Top Next Week's Album Chart June 11, 2008, 3:10 PM ET Keith Caulfield, L.A. It's all about Lil Wayne this week as The Billboard 200 prepares for the arrival of "Tha Carter III." The rapper's new Cash Money/Universal album will easily bow at No. 1 next week, as it leads Nielsen SoundScan's Building Chart, to be released this afternoon (June 11) at 5 p.m. ET. Unweighted first-day sales of "Tha Carter III" at nine leading accounts through the close of business yesterday (June 10), stood at 423,000. Sources close to the album project "Carter" could shift between 850,000-950,000 in its first full week. That would easily give Wayne the biggest sales week of the year, and the best since Kanye West's "Graduation" started with 957,000 last year. To compare, "Graduation" saw a first-day Building number of 437,000 from eight accounts, about 3% more than that posted by "Carter." Billboard estimates the nine merchants who report to Nielsen SoundScan's Building chart -- Trans World Entertainment, Best Buy, Circuit City, iTunes, Starbucks, Borders, Target, Anderson Merchandisers and Handleman Co. -- comprise about 80% of all U.S. album sales. Starbucks was not part of the Building Chart panel when West's title came to market last Sept. 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candylipsgirl Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I doubt the general public, most of them, would visit RIAA or care about certifications... It's only hardcore fans and chart freaks... The average Joe would be less inclined to care. I also stated "MEDIA" info and that includes BillBoard Chart records. Only Barbara Streisand has more sales than M in America, MC is creeping close to 2nd! So for those who DONT care re: HC sales . Then turn a deaf ear when the Media is reporting Barbra Streisand the best selling female in America. Yes, I am a chart freak. And as a hardcore fan, I want M to receive that title! And if HC remains GOLD it will be her lowest CD-even if it sells 100k more than AL. PERIOD> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 the Lil' Wayne album is GOOD... best rap album of the year so far he also has MANY editions out right now so I'm sure the fans are snapping up all of them Best Buy has the regular, special edition and the Best Buy special edition Target (I think.. it might be K-Mart) has their own edition with 2 bonus tracks there's bonus tracks for the iTunes versions as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest missy bi_tch Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 anyone has any idea why radiohead's best of album charts in two positions...
