Stans will say/believe anything to cloud the truth.

Thank you. If it were 3 songs, 2 songs, it'd chart. PLENTY of EPs chart with 3-4 songs, they just flop for obvious reasons. Jackie however has had a lot of exposure. It's a shame some suddenly don't understand concepts when their faves are underperforming.

Though a hefty number of blockbuster new albums reached the marketplace on Tuesday, Nov. 16, none of them look like they'll topple Susan Boyle's "The Gift" from No. 1 on the Billboard 200 next week.
Industry prognosticators suggest that the Christmas-flavored "Gift" could sell upwards of 300,000 copies by week's end on Sunday, Nov. 21. Considering it opened atop the list this week with 318,000, that would be a miniscule second-week decline. Normally, albums that post big opening weeks tend to drop significantly in week number two.
What makes "The Gift" different? Its target demographic of older consumers tend not to focus on an album's street date and buy music at a more leisurely pace, so there's probably a fair amount of people shopping Target or Wal-Mart this week that'll pick up "The Gift" without realizing it dropped a week earlier.
Additionally, because it's a holiday-themed album, it benefits from shoppers in the hunt for tunes to play around the house as the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays approach.
Looking to come in at No. 2 is "America's Got Talent" runner-up Jackie Evancho with her debut EP "O Holy Night." The modestly-priced four-track set might sell in the range of 250,000 to 280,000.
Rihanna's fifth studio album, "Loud," is on track to give the diva her fifth top 10, as it's aiming for a start around 180,000 copies.
Both Rascal Flatts' "Nothing Like This" and Keith Urban's "Get Closer" might each sell about 160,000 to 170,000. Josh Groban's "Illuminations" could light up the list with 160,000 to 170,000 as well, while Kid Rock's new "Born Free" may do around 150,000 to 160,000.
On track for relatively soft start is this year's "American Idol" champ Lee DeWyze, as his "Live It Up" debut is estimated to sell in the neighborhood of 30,000 to 40,000. That would make it the lowest start for an "Idol" winner's first album.

I love it that people were thinking that RiRi was going to be behind Rascal Flatts and Kid Rock.

Wow in Europe, Subo is a flop compared to the US

Bon Jovi's second week at No. 1 comes as the compilation achieves that same feat in Portugal and Ireland, and adds a chart-topping debut in Sweden. It's also in at No. 8 in Italy and No. 13 in the Czech Republic, and up 3-2 in Spain and 5-4 in Norway, holding at No. 2 in the United Kingdom (where two-week sales total 146,000). But it slips 2-4 in Austria, 2-5 in Germany and 3-6 in Switzerland.
Blunt's "Some Kind of Trouble" (Atlantic/Warner Music) arrives at No. 2 overall, with one European No. 1 debut, in Switzerland. There are No. 2 starts in Germany and Holland, and it enters at No. 3 in France and Austria, No. 4 in the United Kingdom (on sales of 40,000), No. 6 in Ireland and No. 10 in Denmark.
Shakira's "Sale El Sol" (Epic) and fellow Sony Music release "Come Around Sundown" by Kings of Leon (Hand Me Down) fall one place each on European Albums, to Nos. 3 and 4. The Shakira album falls 1-2 in France and Italy but holds at No. 2 in Portugal, No. 3 in Poland, No. 5 in Austria and No. 7 in the Czech Republic. It's up 5-4 in Switzerland and 12-9 in Germany. "Sundown" stays at No. 1 in Poland and climbs back 3-2 in Ireland.
Also via Sony Music, Boyle opens at No. 5 Europe-wide with "The Gift" (Syco Music), starting at No. 1 in the United Kingdom with sales of 102,000 (compared with 411,000 out of the box for "I Dreamed A Dream" last November). The new album also opens at No. 1 in Holland, No. 5 in Ireland and climbs 36-3 in the Belgian region of Flanders.
Depeche Mode's CD and DVD package "Tour of the Universe" (Mute/EMI) takes its collective bow at No. 6, after debuting at No. 1 in Germany, No. 4 in Spain and No. 7 in France. But Jamiroquai's "Rock Dust Light Star" (Mercury/Universal) slips 4-7 in its second week on the collective chart, with a No. 3 Italian debut compensating for falls of 1-7 in Holland, 2-6 in France, 2-8 in Switzerland and 7-22 in the United Kingdom.
Three more descending albums complete the pan-European top ten: Robbie Williams' "In and Out of Consciousness - Greatest Hits 1990-2010" (Virgin/EMI), down 5-8; Andrea Berg's "Schwerelos" (Sony Music Entertainment), 6-9; and Cheryl Cole's "Messy Little Raindrops" (Fascination/Polydor/Universal), 7-10. Williams' compilation climbs 10-9 in Hungary, Berg climbs 3-1 in Austria but makes that move in reverse in Germany, and Cole falls 1-3 in the United Kingdom, where second-week sales of 52,000 make a running total to last weekend of 157,000.

Even Shakira on her 4th week sells more than Subo on her 1st

Why? FYI, Rascal Flatts are typically big sellers so it was right minded to think they were going to do big numbers. Kid is selling more than his last album, he was always a toss-up of how much that would pass over.

LOL I thought they would do north of 250K at least. Unstoppable opened with 351K in the Springtime & I thought they had a stable fanbase. Guess not. Kid Rock's sales are very good, seeing as I haven't heard his first single anywhere.
Lee... OMG  The prediction dropped too.
