1. Blake Shelton (Warner Bros. Nashville) 85-95k
3. Lady Antebellum (Capitol Nashville) 67-72k

[Mariano]

C2C 40-45k is great

[Bribe]

Great drop for Gaga. She finally breaks her 80%+ drop streak

[Bang Up]

Good hold for Lady and Tony. With upcoming special and advertisement spots, I'm hoping the album can hold steady.

Babs!

Tony and Lady gaga really need to pick it up though, the 70 percent drop will make it her third entry into the top ten of all time second week sales drops.

The media will report it as a negative like they did with BTW and ARTPOP and it'll hurt the album.

It's not even a big deal honestly.

Everyone jumped down my throat because I said I wanted Tony and Gaga to sell more.

Take that in for a second: I dark_lorde said I wanted Tony and Gaga to sell more.

Every comment I have ever made on this site about C2C has been positive. I didn't want it to appear on that list and it looks like, thanks to a butt load of people jumping in and correcting me, it wont be. - Good.

There's no need to attempt to drag my fave, or try and trip me up with things I have previously said. I'm glad i was wrong. I agree with Ya'll.

So lets all go back to discussing the slayage of babs

Except, you're the one who tried to make a big deal out of it.

Backtracking after being called out and proven wrong as usual.

3rd Top 10 week for Chris

Now do some promo boy

[alex_katycat]

A 70% drop for Gaga? I expected a higher percentage( 80%) tbh so that's good.

[Extinctkid]

Good numbers for Tony & Gaga. Didn't ARTPOP sell around the same in its 2nd week?

[ManDown]

These numbers are depressing.

[BNF91]

dark lorde you think you're slick but its SO obvious when you try to subliminally shade gaga... do better please

[Jonathan]

Barbra will be the Frozen of Holidays 2014. Get ready. Glue y'all edges.

Tony's drop for Duets II was less than 50%.
Even going from week 1 vs. week 3, it was about 60%.

This week 2 drop % is about the drop from Duets II's 1st vs. 4th week. So doesn't look as longevity-prone, after already debuting with a third less.

Why do people keep comparing Cheek To Cheek to Duets II?

[DonnieDarko]

Yet it rose from #22 two days ago to #8 on iTunes RIGHT NOW.

[nick4bty]

Not even 100k for Blake Shelton?

Because it's a Tony Bennett duets album.

Should we not compare an artist to him/herself anymore and look at everything through a vacuum?

Very bad numbers for Lady A
Their last era did great damages it seems, fyi Golden debuted at #1 on the BB200 with 167k sold but after the first single Downtown reached #1 they had a flop and rushed out a deluxe edition of the album which produced another #1 in Compass. I was expecting 120-125k for 747 but oh well.

Terrible numbers for Country Awards favourite Blake Shelton. His Last album opened at #1 with 199k copies sold and had like 5 #1s or something and went to sell 1M+. He's even ALWAYS on tv thanks To the Voice so kii.

You're not comparing like items, though.

Duets II was a star-studded duets album released in the 2011 album sales climate with tons of big names, including Gaga, and was released shortly after Amy's death, and included her last recording. It was going to sell.

Cheek to Cheek was an album with only Tony and Gaga released in the 2014 album sales climate with little REAL promotion the first week other than GMA and a phone call to HSN late at night.

They're too different to compare.

Fair numbers for Tony and Gaga
