thebigham Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 HITS: THANK GOD IT'S BLACK FRIDAY Susan Boyle Climbs Past 625k, Approaches 675k, Lambert #2, Lady Gaga Two in Top 10 November 27, 2009 Steve Barnett's Columbia Records and Susan Boyle have a lot to be thankful for this weekend. And that goes for you two, Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga. Going into the weekend, Simon Cowell's gal Boyle is a runaway for #1 on next Tuesday's HITS Album Sales chart, with a total almost three times her closest competitor, 19/RCA/ RMG's Idol runner-up Adam Lambert. Boyle's I Dreamed a Dream is on target for between 625-675k in sales, which would be the year's biggest debut, besting Eminem's 608k for his Relapse album. Lambert's For Your Entertainment looks like a lock for #2 with between 210-230k. The week's other big story is Interscope's Lady Gaga, whose seven-song Fame Monster EP will sell between 190-210k, good enough for #3, while her just-released two-disc Fame Monster deluxe edition should add another 130-150k to that album's total. Decca's Andrea Bocelli is the lone Top 5 holdover at 180-200k, where he's running neck-and-neck with Def Jam/IDJ diva Rihanna's critically acclaimed Rated R with the same estimated total. The rest of the chart looks a little something like this, pending weekend traffic: Carrie Underwood (19/Arista Nashville) 100-120k John Mayer (Columbia) 90-110k * Shakira (Columbia) 85-100k 50 Cent (Shady/Aftermath/Interscope) 85-100k Twilight Saga: New Moon (Chop Shop/Atlantic) 85-100k Norah Jones (Blue Note/EMI) 85-100k Taylor Swift Fearless (Big Machine) 85-100k Michael Jackson's This Is It (Epic) 75-90k Casting Crowns Peace on Earth (Provident/Reunion) 75-90k Taylor Swift Holiday Collection (Big Machine) 75-90k *indicates debut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest boytoyville Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 So happy for Susan Boyle as she is a sweet lady and her voice is wonderful. The song selections also are great for her album. Norah Jones album is her best one yet. It's uptempo and fantastic. Hope she can keep her sales consistant. Finally a big YAY for Adam Lambert haveing a respectable debut!

Miley's a Wally World exclusive, so they probably already received all reports from Wal-Mart stores. This was the case several weeks back when KISS released their Wal-Mart exclusive. 90% of the sales were reported in the first 20% of Hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawberryBounce12 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Oh Ms. Susan Boyle is killin' it on the charts! Her sales are far ahead of all these young artists. Wow, good for her. Her music really isn't my thing, but she is talented and seems sweet. Happy for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She released a regular and "deluxe" edition at the same time last year, then she did the Platinum edition in the UK with a bonus DVD (in the US the DVD was instead packaged with a disc of dance mixes as a Wal-Mart exclusive... I picked it up for $5)... now she's releasing a single disc edition of the deluxe edition with three bonus tracks. So much fan milkage and I've seen fans say they will not buy her next album during it's original release because they know what's going to happen in six months. Because she did the same thing with B.

HolidayGuy Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 So much for Thanksgiving week automatically softening second-week declines- Norah Jones and Justin Bieber held up well, but ouch for 50 Cent, Kris Allen, Casting Crowns and Leona Lewis. I like some rationalizeations that Rihanna went "dark" for this album- is this her Erotica? It may not be as happy and peppy as her other fare, but it's not like she went Bjork. (same with Kelly Clarkson, when she released My December). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nothingfails0603 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 releasing a re-release of a greatest hits album seems to be overdoing it. Sony has actually done just that with a number of their "The Essential" releases for MJ, Billy Joel, Heart and a few others, expanding them from 2 to 3 discs.

First all of many people including myeself appreciate Susans magical voice. It's wondeful and her renditions of the songs on her album are unique and beautifully arranged. Susan is really nice in all her interviews and she is from a town in Scottland. What is there to lie about that? It's all about Susan Boyle right now!
