I still have hope that sales are off like Susan Boyle´s last week
Yeah, y'all were, but some people actually thought she would do 300k. Bish, "Only Girl" and "What's My Name" are not going to get people out to the stores. "Umbrella" didn't.
I for sure thought Loud would outsell Rated R especially since she already has 2 huge singles this time around.
I thought Nelly would do a little better too, around 90k but those are good numbers for him.
It’s opera vs. country for next week’s chart, as Josh Groban will battle it out against Rascal Flatts for #1 on next week’s HITS Album sales chart.
Look for Groban's newest Warner Bros. album, Illuminations, to keep on giving for the holidays, after debuting this week with 350-400k, which would put him neck-and-neck for the top spot alongside the debut of Rascal Flatt's newest Big Machine album, Nothing Like This.
Rascal Flatts' album should benefit from scheduled late night tv performances, while Groban's album is a certain stocking-stuffer as we head into the teeth of the gifting season.
Susan Boyle continues to be a force this week. The Gift is expected to remain top 3 with a number between 220-250k.
As we head lower down the charts, another battle is heating up. Island/IDJ’s Rihanna is set to debut with 150-170k, which puts her in direct competition with Taylor Swift's fourth week of sales from Speak Now (Big Machine).
Atlantic’s Kid Rock is up next, with a total of 80-85k for Born Free, while both Capitol Nashville’s Keith Urban and Universal Motown’s Nelly are expected to debut within the 70-75k area.
The market was down 6% vs. last week, down 21% vs. same week last year and still down 13% year to date.
you really want to be banned don't you? and if the "Queen" is the one who sells more of them all, your fave wouldn't be the "Queen" as well so please stop
