Courtney Love makes my stomach turn.

Leona exists because of her.

Honestly have no idea what to expect for the sales prediction. Would love to see 400k but I think 300k is more realistic. Anything less than 300 would be a huge disappointment.

Ashlee should've released this album next week maybe, it's really good and it deserved to debut at top.

LMAO!
Yes, it is true, Mariah Carey is Leona's mother
LOL 'exists because of her', Leona Lewis exists in the industry because she has talent.

Bad news for Papa Simpson!
Ashlee is at #4 not #3 according to this

^ poor Ashlee

Bittersweet World is a great album

Autobiography > Bitterweet World >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I Am Me

cuz it's all about 'what they hear on the radio' and not about the artist I think.

^Autobiography is her best album still

Go LEONA!!

I would love to see this:

2 188 LEONA LEWIS J RECORDS/RMG 2,488 -3698%
SPIRIT

But that is more likely to happen with Ashlee...

I remember when Lindsay Lohan debuted at #20 with over 80k copies of her 2nd album sold in the first week. Today, you only need 50k to debut in top 3.

Hard Candy Will Bow on Top, Lyfe Jennings, The Roots, Def Leppard and Portishead Also Debut
April 30, 2008

Madonna will leave Warner Bros., the only label she’s ever known, with a bang.

Her final studio album for the Bunny, Hard Candy, is on track to sell between 275-300k, which will handily end Mariah Carey’s two-week reign with E=MC2, according to one-day sale reports from those retailers still standing around this great country of ours.

The Material Gal has one more album, a greatest hits collection, to go before splitting for a long-term deal with concert promoter Live Nation. The album’s her first since 2005’s Confessions on a Dance Floor, which sold more than 8 million worldwide. In the U.S., it debuted at #1, selling 351k copies in its first week, taking the top spot from Carrie Underwood’s Some Hearts. In its second week, Confessions on a Dance Floor sold 210k copies and slipped to #4 with a 39% sales decrease. To date, the album has sold over 1.7 million copies in the U.S.

Columbia R&B star Lyfe Jennings’ Lyfe Change, his third album, is on track to sell between 75-80k, which should be good for a Top 5 bow, fueled by the single, “Never Never Land.” His last disc, 2006’s The Phoenix, debuted at #2 and went on to sell 450k.

Veteran Def Jam rappers The Roots return with Rising Down, their first since 2006’s Game Theory, with a first-week sales number in the 50-60k range

Hair metal mainstays Def Leppard’s Universal album Songs from the Sparkle Lounge is doing better than expected, thanks to the band’s appearance on last night’s Dancing with the Stars, where they performed their new single, “Nine Lives,” which features Tim McGraw. One-day sales estimates peg their total at 45-50k. The band’s U.S. tour with Styx and REO Speedwagon is already underway.

Island Records trip-hop pioneers Portishead return with their first studio album in a decade, and third overall, the cleverly dubbed Third, on track for an impressive 40-45k in sales after their critically acclaimed performance at Coachella last weekend.

Tom Petty’s Mudcrutch album on Warner Bros. looks set for 25-30k after a string of intimate performances with his one-time Gainesville, FL, bandmates at the Troubadour in L.A., his old stomping grounds.

Epic Records' SoCal atmospheric pop-rockers Augustana’s Can’t Love, Can’t Hurt is on target for 20-25k

The market was down 8% vs last week, down 11% vs same week last year and now down 11% year-to-date…. as Hollywood continues to burn outside HITS’ Sunset and Vine headquarters..

Wooo. Not bad. I have feeling that she might surpass the predictions after today's concert.

Still... 275-300k is not that good... Confessions sold 375k in the first week...
I was expecting at least 400k...

'Confessions' came out in the third quarter - week before Thanksgiving, three years ago. It's a different case. yeah, the sales are not that impressive compared to the exposure and Mariah's first week sales. But it's still good for this time of the year. I still have hopes that she may get higher than their prediction.

I agree with Hard Candy. "Confessions" came out during the holiday season, and it's sales were holding up as well. I bet if this was "Confessions" coming out on April 29th it would bearly sell 250K.

LOL. oh well, at least its another #1

Its great considering Madonna's lengthy career and still being able to get a #1 and such high sales.

I'm sure it'll peak a little over 300k. But at least its getting the same predictions as "Blackout". Legend.

Madonna 275-200 K? i was expected more... almost the same that Blackout did with any promo... hope the tonight´s concert helps it...
