No One was the biggest hit Alicia has had in her career though, that's why she has such a big opening week. Beyonce will probably sell more worldwide

Beyonce's cd is flopping everywhere else though, the US is her only big selling place

TAKE THAT DAVID ARCHUSHITTY FANS

Crush has still did WAY better than that crappy Light On. Sales don't even mean which album is better. And it's obvious Cook's had the bigger hype. He won AI for God sakes! Taylor outsold Katharine, but Katharine's way better and she will have a longer career than him if she comes back. Taylor also outsold Daughtry first week, but who's more popular? Hmmm......

This means nothing.

^ true. No matter what. We (archie fans) will just stick to whatever success he has. and as for David Cook. good for him to debut in the top 3.

I hope Lady GaGa's album's sales increases this week..and a whole lot more NEXT week.

Yes, and it was a second quarter release! These sales are not THAT impressive for Beyonce.

You're comparing a second quarter release to a fourth quarter's.

Isnt that why Beyonce should sell alot more then? Fall is like the biggest season for cds, sales in the first quarter usually have low sales..

Hard Candy would have gone platinum had it come out in the 4th quarter.

Agreed.

450-500k for Kanye? Yikes. That's half of what "Graduation" did.

300k for GNR? Wow, so much for "anticipated hype". At the end of the day, bad word of mouth and bad publicity drove this figure down and I knew it wouldn't come close to the debuts of new AC/DC, or even Metallica's latest album.

225k for Luda? ahh.. That's actually not terrible for him given the lack of a single the size "Money Maker" was.

200k for The Killers? Compared to 313k for "Sams Town", again, a bit dissapointing. But they will have a stellar worldwide bow. So, makes up for it.

At 9.45 million, sales this week are up 6% from last week but down 32% from the same week last year (13.96 million).

OMG! This is not normal. I guess these are some of the effects of the now-economic crisis.
