Hahaha. Very funny.

And hopefully they will do it again and again and again!!!
Really weel done, and very well deserved

It’s the biggest rock release since Avril Lavigne’s Arista/RMG album, Best Damn Thing, which bowed with 289k in sales last month.---->If Avril represents rock, then something is wrong with the industry.

....wow at LP....
yay..for AVril ...hope it goes platinum soon...

any1 has the full billboard 200 album??

First of all, Avril in no shape or form could be considered rock. Second of all, you don't have your facts straight. "Minutes to Midnight"'s debut is the biggest first-week sales for a rock album since U2 debuted with 840,000 back in 2004 with "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb". Oh yeah and that reminds me, just to mention a few rock albms that have debuted higher than Avril lately are from Evanescence, Tool, and Nickelback. I like Avril and all, but don't mistake her "rock" pretense for the real thing. she is pure pop with a little extra punky guitars thrown in here and there.

do you think I WROTE THAT? No, hits does.

Hits Daily Double: 1 Day Sales:

Ozzy’s Latest Will Top 100k, Young Jeezy, The Used, the Bravery Up Next

May 23, 2007

Guess the wait was worth it.

Adam Levine not only has the girls, he’s got everyone. Maroon 5’s A&M/Octone bow, It Won’t Be Soon Before Long, delivers on the promise of the band’s 2002 debut Songs About Jane, which sold more than 10 million worldwide on J/Octone.

According to one-day reports from those record retailers still left out there. the album appears poised to approach the 400k mark, thanks to a robust week at iTunes that could even beat last week’s record 80k in digital album sales by Linkin Park. Looks like UMG’s reported $35 million investment in the band and James Diener’s label is already paying dividends, with what appears a likely #1 debut, thanks to saturation radio airplay on the single, “Makes Me Wonder.” Call Levine and company’s first week, “Wonder”-ful.

Ozzy Osbourne’s Black Rain on Epic, his first solo album in six years, looks poised to flirt with 125k, thanks to a giveaway of two already-free Ozzfest tix with each purchase.

Def Jam’s Young Jeezy Presents U.S.D.A.: Cold Summer album could approach 100k, with Reprise emo rockers The Used’s Lies for the Liars on target for 80k. Island’s The Bravery will also bow on the HITS Top 50 next week. See how high on the Building Album Sales Chart next Tuesday after Memorial Day weekend.

Next Tuesday, R. Kelly’s eagerly awaited Double Up on Jive/ZLG hits retail, with a third straight 400k week a definite possibility. Ahhh, summer.

The market was up a thin 1% vs last week, down 7% vs same week last year and now down more than 16.5% year-to-date.


I bolded what I liked..

I'm definitely picking up Maroon 5 & The Used - but M5 better not pass LP

oh sorry, my bad

lol no prob.

I wish they gave an estimate for The Bravery.
I hope they top the 35k their debut started with.

- Great/expected for Maroon 5.
