Chart Listings: Billboard 200 Albums (October 20-27, 2011)

Kworb

Any discussion about the US album chart will now also be weekly. This includes:

- The Billboard 200
- HITS Daily Double one-day sales
- HITS Daily Double building chart

A new thread should be created when the OFFICIAL numbers come out; usually when Billboard posts the article on Wednesday morning (see below). This will be similar to the Hot 100 thread.

Quote:

Rock band Evanescence returns to the Billboard 200 chart, scoring its second No. 1 album, as its self-titled third set bows with 127,000 copies sold according to Nielsen SoundScan. The act, led by singer Amy Lee, last released an album in 2006, when "The Open Door" debuted at No. 1 with 447,000.

The new set's first single, "What You Want," rises 15-13 on the Rock Songs airplay chart this week, while also holding a bullet at No. 17 on the Alternative Songs tally. The group's first album, 2003's "Fallen," spawned the Billboard Hot 100 hits "Bring Me To Life" (No. 5) and "My Immortal" (No. 7).

Last week's No. 1 album, "Clear As Day" from 2011 "American Idol" winner Scotty McCreery, falls to No. 4 with 88,000 (down 55%). Adele's "21" holds at No. 2 with 111,000 (down 1%).

Rock band Five Finger Death Punch scores its best week ever as its new "American Capitalist" album starts at No. 3 with 91,000. It's new chart high for the act and biggest sales week. Its last release, 2009's "War Is the Answer," jumped in at No. 7 with a 44,000 launch.

A second 2011 "Idol" alum joins McCreery in the top five, as the woman he beat, runner-up Lauren Alaina, debuts at No. 5 with "Wildflower." The set shifts 69,000 in its opening frame.

This is the first time since 2008 where both the winner and second-place finisher of "Idol" posted top five-charting albums (or top 10, for that matter). The last Nos. 1 and 2 placers to do so were '08 victor David Cook and runner-up David Archuleta. Their debut albums respectively bowed and peaked at Nos. 3 and 2, respectively.

Ryan Adams' "Ashes & Fire" arrives at No. 7, selling 49,000 in its first week. It's the singer's second top 10 set, and first since "Easy Tiger" also debuted and peaked at No. 7 in 2007 off a 61,000 start. His last charting album, "III/IV," with the Cardinals, peaked at No. 59 on Feb. 5 of his year.

Lady Antebellum's "Own the Night" slips 4-8 with 47,000 (down 18%) while fellow country act Martina McBride arrives with "Eleven" at No. 10 with 40,000. The latter is the singer's sixth top 10 album and her first for the Republic Nashville label, after having spent her entire career on RCA. Her last studio release, "Shine," started at No. 10 with 41,000 in 2009.

As for the rest of the top 10, Tony Bennett's "Duets II" shifts 3-6 with 54,000 (down 23%) and Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter IV" moves 6-9 with 45,000 (down 15%).

Over to the Digital Songs chart, Adele's "Someone Like You" is steady at No. 1 yet again, with 207,000 downloads sold this past week (down 5%). LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It" rises 3-2 (206,000; up 13%) and Rihanna's "We Found Love" (featuring Calvin Harris) jumps 5-3 (174,000; up 21%). Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks" holds at No. 4 (174,000; down 1%) and Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger" slides 2-5 (166,000; down 11%).

The highest debut on the Digital Songs chart belongs to Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa's "Young, Wild & Free" (featuring Bruno Mars), which debuts at No. 6 with 159,000. It's the first single from the soundtrack to "Mac & Devin Go to High School," due out in December.

Gym Class Heroes' "Stereo Hearts" (featuring Adam Levine), is pushed back 6-7 despite a sales gain (136,000; up 2%), as is David Guetta's "Without You" (featuring Usher), which moves 7-8 (129,000; up 7%). Cobra Starship's "You Make Me Feel" (featuring Sabi) returns to the top 10, rising 11-9 (107,000; up 26%) and Lady Gaga's "You and I" holds at No. 10 (96,000; up 6%).

Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending Oct. 16) totaled 5.21 million units, up 1% compared to the sum last week (5.13 million) and up 4% compared to the comparable sales week of 2010 (5.01 million). Year to date album sales stand at 238.84 million, up 3% compared to the same total at this point last year (230.97 million). It is the 21st week in a row where year-to-date album volume is greater than the same time in the prior year.

Digital track sales this past week totaled 21.34 million downloads, up 4% compared to last week (20.59 million) and up 8% stacked next to the comparable week of 2010 (19.71 million). Year to date track sales are at 993.66 million, up 10% compared to the same total at this point last year (899.68 million).

Next week's Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2010 when: Sugarland's "The Incredible Machine" debuted at No. 1 with 203,000 and Kings of Leon's "Come Around Sundown" started at No. 2 with 184,000. The top four also saw debuts from Elton John and Leon Russell's "The Union" (No. 3 with 80,000) and Rod Stewart's "Fly Me to the Moon" (No. 4 with 79,000). The previous week's No. 1, Lil Wayne's "I Am Not a Human Being," dropped to No. 5 with 65,000 (down 49%).

ADELE, CASTING CROWNS
VIE FOR #1

Christian Rockers Challenge a Return to the Top by U.K. Pop Diva

October 19, 2011

Adele won’t go away, and don’t expect her to through next year’s Grammys and beyond.
The 4-million-selling pop diva—a mark she’ll hit this week—continues to astound after 34 weeks on the chart, battling Provident’s Christian rockers Casting Crowns for the top spot on next week’s sales tally, both hovering in the 90-100k range. It has spent only one week outside the Top 3 since its release back in February.

Kedar/Fontana’s veteran R&B performer Joe returns with The Good, The Bad, The Sexy, his first album since 2009’s Signature, on target for between 30-35k.

Coming off a hit Alternative radio track in “Irresistible Force,” Capitol/EMI’s Jane’s Addiction return with The Great Escape Artist, its first album in eight years, since Strays in 2003, looking at first-week sales of between 25-30k.

Veteran French electronica/dream pop act M83, started by Anthony Gonzalez and named after the spiral galaxy Messier 83 back in 2001, should do in the range of 12-15k for its shoegazing style of reverb and lyrics spoken softly over loud instrumentals.

Album sales were up 2% vs. last week, up 4% vs. same week last year and up 3% year to date.

Track sales were up 4% vs. last week, up 8% vs. same week last year and up 10% year to date.

TEA (Track Equivalent Album) sales were up 2% vs. last week, up 5% vs. same week last year and up 5% year to date.

You may now return to contemplating HITS' own latest, in-house initiative, Occupy North Hollywood.

Adele & Casting Crowns: Duking It Out For No. 1 on Billboard 200

As we reported on Wednesday, Christian band Casting Crowns could be on its way to its first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 next week with "Come to the Well." However, a certain British songbird named Adele is putting up quite the fight for the top slot.

While industry prognosticators have suggested that "Come to the Well" could sell upwards of 110,000 copies by week's end on Sunday, Oct. 23, so too, could Adele's "21" album. This past week, "21" sold 111,000 and all signs point to the set staying steady around that number next week.

On SoundScan's Building chart below -- a precursor to the final Billboard 200 ranking -- reflecting the first four days (Monday through Thursday) of SoundScan's tracking week (which ends Sunday) as reported by six major merchants, Adele's "21" is at No. 1, while Casting Crowns is found at No. 3.

So, how is "Come to the Well" at No. 3 on the Building Chart even though its in the running for No. 1? The Building Chart doesn't reflect sales from the Christian retail marketplace -- where the bulk of "Come's" sales are generated. Unless something really crazy over the weekend happens, we should see Casting Crowns at either Nos. 1 or 2 on the final Billboard 200 chart next week.

"American Idol" winner Scott McCreery and his "Clear As Day" debut is at No. 2 on the Building chart, with Joe's new "The Good, the Bad, the Sexy" holding down the No. 4 slot. Evanescence's self-titled set -- this past week's Billboard 200 No. 1 -- is at No. 5.

At Nos. 6-8 we have Lady Antebellum's "Own the Night," Tony Bennett's "Duets II" and Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter IV." Right after that at No. 9 is what might be the third-highest debut next week, Jane's Addiction's new "The Great Escape Artist." Rounding out the Building Chart's top 10 is Lauren Alaina's "Wildflower" at the No. 10 slot.
