thebigham Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 HITS: YOUR WEAKEND TOP 10 CHART PREVIEW: As the work week winds down, it's still a tight race for #1 next week, but our crack numbers crunchers are giving a slight edge to Big Machine’s Taylor Swift (190-200k) over Jive/ZLG’s Britney Spears (180-190k). With only two weekends left until Christmas, they’re expecting strong sales on the skyrocketing country star at the big-box accounts, and while Britney could still take the top spot, she'll have to buck the trend of big second-week drops in order to do so. As for the rest of next week’s leader board, it’ll be composed of the usual suspects: #3 Beyonce (Music World/Columbia), 140-150k; #4 Nickelback (Roadrunner), 130-140k; #5 Kanye West (Roc-A-Fella/IDJ), 120-130k; #6 Now 29 (UMe) 110-120k; #7 High School Musical 3 (Walt Disney) or Twilight (Chop Shop/Atlantic), both trending toward 100-110k; #9 David Cook (19/RCA/RMG) 95-100k; and finally, at #10, the week’s lone debut, Musiq Soulchild (Atlantic), with 90-95k.

Guest nothingfails0603 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 #1 isn't exactly huge for this time of year, but at least it's nice to see other albums selling for a change. #50 with 27k, usually #50 is struggling to barely pass up 10-11k. Sucks that Killers are flopping so hard, but I guess like Madonna, at least they have the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nothingfails0603 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Mamma Mia soundtrack looks to be doing great, was the DVD released this week in America? yes, the DVD just came out today, so expect some huge gains next week. Unlike a lot of movie soundtracks which plunge down the chart when the movie's out of theaters but the DVD isn't out yet, the MM soundtrack hasn't really stopped selling and has been hanging around the top 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 It seems like the only chance you have at selling albums these days is to appeal to an older crowd who are not tech savy or make country music and appeal to backwoods hicks who probably just discovered the CD.

Ciccone's Cheeks Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 "Mama Mia" CD= w/in 1-2 yrs will be in the top 10 of all time- for most used CDs sold to a mom and pop used book/ music store etc lol ...will be right up there with how valuable the "Titantic" soundtrack became by around 2000 lol. Fun, escapism movie for its time, overall though- garbage movie w/ an even worse, disposable, fly-by night, vapid soundtrack! Think about it, once the movie has aged a bit, wholl want to hear Meryl and cast sing Abba songs, compared to spending money on "Gold" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroco Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 It has probably been said but sales for the top albums in the UK are not far off the US now! In fact Take That sell more to be number 1 at the moment (although that is generally rare). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fak Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 the whole point of a mainstream pop act releasing an album is to promote it and sell it. its amazing that britney is selling a small fraction less to when ITZ debuted 5 years ago considering overall sales are much lower. Sadly, yes. Although Britters has the holidays and some decent promotion on her side too. Madonna had neither, and even if she did, I doubt she'd have these kinds of numbers anyway.

thebigham Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Billboard.com: Taylor Swift Reclaims Billboard 200 Throne December 17, 2008 10:48 AM ET by Katie Hasty, N.Y. In a week without a top 10 debut, Taylor Swift's "Fearless" reclaims the top spot on The Billboard 200, inching up 2-1 thanks to a 29% sales increase to 249,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. "Fearless" debuted at No. 1 five weeks ago with 592,000 and has shifted 1.5 million so far. Last week's chart-topper, Britney Spears' Jive set "Circus," falls to No. 2 with 200,000 (-60%). Beyonce's "I Am ... Sasha Fierce" (Music World/Columbia) holds tight at No. 3 for a second week on a 4% increase to 159,000. With a 17% increase to 156,000, Nickelback's "Dark Horse" (Roadrunner) ascends 5-4. The Chop Shop/Atlantic soundtrack to "Twilight" climbs 6-5 with 132,000 (-1%) as Kanye West's "808s & Heartbreak" (Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam) slips 4-6 with 127,000 (-10%). Rebounding 9-7 on a 27% sales boost, the multi-label hits compilation "Now 29" moves 114,000 units. AC/DC's Wal-mart exclusive album "Black Ice" (Columbia) re-enters the top tier 11-8 on a 30% sales increase to 110,000. The soundtrack to Disney's "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" falls 8-9 despite an 18% sales boost to 107,000. David Cook's self-titled 19 Recordings/RCA debut rounds out the top 10, staying put at No. 10 with 104,000 (+19%). Music Soulchild's "onmyradio" (Atlantic) debuts at No. 11 with 91,000 copies. The soul/R&B singer has two prior No. 1s, including 2007's "Luvanmusiq." Entering at No. 12 is Common's "Universal Mind Control" with 82,000. The G.O.O.D./Geffen set comes on the heels of the rapper's 2007 album "Finding Forever," which peaked at No. 1. Other debuts this week include Brandy's Koch/Epic set "Human" at No. 15 with 73,000 and Avant's fifth, self-titled album from Capitol at No. 26 with 52,000.

HolidayGuy Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Why would you hate how radio influences the chart? It's been part of the Hot 100 since its inception in 1958. Is that because, then, a certain track would be No. 1 without airplay in the mix? Come on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
