Why's that a surprise? They've been seeling more than anyone for the last 2 years. :-/

They are sellling well I know that but I wasn't expecting too much! Like better than Brit or other artist, for sure they will be at top 5 at the end of the year!

first of all, PLEASE stop calling the Eagles that. you make yourself sound like an immature 10-year old. The Eagles are a great band and even if you don't care for them (I don't either), doesn't mean you shouldn't respect them.

So don't take it personally. I'm just kiddin' (hell, I call Britney names like that), don't make it too serious, please.

ALICIA! expect her to drop to like 5 next week, but nicee

[Rico Shameless v2]

I actually think Alicia will only drop to #2 or #3, maybe even stay #1. She has no new competition.

Yeah, her only competition could be Jordin, but I don't think Alicia's gonna sell less than 200k, and, unfortunately, I doubt Jordin is gonna sell more than that.

sometimes it's hard to tell what's intended as a joke here on ATRL

I know right. WTH with Jive and not promoting their artists!? Britney, Chris both had rather disappointing debuts, and falls, and now Jordin. They really just milking the cash cause they take all the money for downloads/albums.

I think NIN might be some competition too

no big album out next week?

[Rico Shameless v2]

Yeah, we can't leave out the underrated anymore. After The Eagles, anything is possible.

Britney made it to 50k!!! not a bad fall from last week, hopefully she stays around 40k next week then that would be awesome <33333

Also Chris didnt have such a bad fall after all! :heart:

remember the days when even if you sold 200k you were like #8....

I distinctly remember even as early as 3 years ago when Gwen Stefani debuted at #7 with like 307k in her first week.

[blackbeatxx]

seems like garth brooks is having great longevity as well, also look at josh groban!...top contenders, altho i think alicia is holding the the #1 position next week with like 250k

[Rico Shameless v2]

Alicia will at least drop about 60% next week, good enough for about 220k-230k.

[Tightrope]

Britney did reach 50K for the week but that's a steep fall from 7-25. I'm sure her sales will pick up once the POM video is released.

[Nirvaηa]

OMG Go Alicia you're a such a talented girl and you deserve this # 1 album wow amazing! 723K more than Underwood is a great sucess, wow is amazing Carrie still fighting in the top 10 and Celine has great first sales!.

[Tightrope]

^in fairness though, Alicia is easily more established than Carrie. But congrats to both

hence platinum!

[blackbeatxx]

dropping 60-65% from such a big first week must be considered very good these days, even chris brown did relatively ok this week
