[Carrie-is-no-1]

Yeah, well I guess we'll just have to see how the next few months go. Carrie's singles have been getting a lukewarm response from this album. She screwed up by releasing So Small and Last Name, and should have invested more energy in The More Boys I Meet or Flat on the Floor.

Either way though, Some Hearts will finish with 7 million sold while Taylor will finish with 4 million so Carrie still wins round 1 but Taylor hasn't released Fearless yet so we can't determine a winner for round 2. Let's be optimistic for both of them though.

Yep, agreed

Anyway, So Small did well on the chart. 3 weeks at #1 are good enough!

I sadly have to agree about "Thankful" if it was release now Im 100% sure it wouldn't even reach platnium...same with OME HEARTS

[FAN]

WTF CD selling 75k???

[MusicB]

75k? for PCD ?!?!?

No, Some Hearts would have probably reached 3x platinum if it was released this year. CD sales haven't dropped THAT MUCH since 2005, and Carrie had a string of hit singles whereas Kelly only had one on Thankful. Taylor Swift is proof that country-pop can still sell millions so Some Hearts still would have sold through the roof in this day and age. Even after 3 years it's still selling 5k a week. Thankful was released right at the beginning of iTunes so it's sales weren't affected by digital downloads either.

Some Hearts is a classic country-pop album. No one denies that!

75k

[deejayd]

75k?

[Tightrope]

I don't know why people are surprised PCD is only gonna sell 75K....I think it's more than I originally predicted like...50K. Still, if it doesn't reach 1M sales then I think it's a disappointment.

[Anthony K.]

Well, I may have made some jokes about it but I was honestly expecting them to sell at least 150k. But looks like Nicole's failed attemp at a solo career also damaged the group.

[Red]

Just goes to show you...when Metallica makes a GOOD album, it ****ing *SELLS*.

Soon to be three weeks at the top...well done, boys.
