Some recent-times compilations:

Celine Dion's sold 56,165 (58,110 including street-date violations) in early November 2008 (debuting at #8), and had scanned 325,651 through mid-June. 1cd and a 2cd release like Madonna's.

Christina Aguilera opened with 72,870 (#9) in mid-November 2008, and through mid-March, had scanned 260,525. It was a Target exclusive, and was a single CD (had a deluxe edition with a DVD).

its so obvious mariah pushed the album back to compete against madonna for the cheap, gauranteed publicity of knowing shell most likely beat her (ESP w/ Ms album being a greatest hits opposed to new material which most people wont look at!) - while in the rest of world mimi probably will barely chart! Mariah easily couldve released her album last week and beaten Pearl Jam!

At 1:00 a.m., the Deluxe Video Edition of CELEBRATION is #2 on iTunes! Note this is the most expensive version out there at $29.99, with the bonus of "It's So Cool." (Pearl Jam is presently #1.)

No sign of Mariah or Babs yet, surprisingly.

*edited to say this: ALSO, it's highly irritating that it looks like in the U.S. iTunes you can just purchase "It's So Cool" as a separate track by itself. No need to pre-order/buy the whole darn thing. I feel like that was a little misleading somehow. Since I'm buying the 1 CD, 2 CD, and DVD versions, I certainly wouldn't have pre-ordered the iTunes version just for the bonus track if I'd known I could buy it alone for $1.29. (I like to be legitimate/legal -- so don't laugh at my stupidity, please!)

Babs will not be #1. C'mon people. Think!

calm the fuck down. nobody said she was gonna be number 1 in the end. i merely stated she was 1 just now. why can't people come here to have fun and let their hair down without getting nonsense replies like this?

today is a glorious day......

(I should also note that while I was a pretty good predictor in the early 00s, I have sucked horribly on every prediction in the past year or so, so I could easily be way way way off.)

Not to mention the fact that Mariah's release is coming shortly after her previous one which was a flop

and that around the same time Madonna released an album that sold twice as much making it the 14th best selling

record of the year

QUESTION

Since C is a double CD doesnt it mean Warner will double the cert like EVITA

So if it sells 500K it will be certified PLATINUM?

But, it's also a 1cd album.

I've seen more 1cd albums in the stores today then the 2cd album.

250k 1cd = 250k

150k 2cd = 300k

550k = Gold certification

Celebration 75K

Mooriah 320k (Because lambs are an organized race, and they are on their way to purchase 10 copies each @ the low price of 5.66)

Babs 150k (mostly due to the appearance on Oprah)

I just hope that Madonna sold enough next week (USA+Japan+Canada) plus second weeks everywhere else, just to be on top of Worldwide Albums.

¿Where else is Marrana releasing her album? I guess Uk is until next month.
