Btw this is not including the U.S. sales of TFM 8TRK EP.
Oh yeah, I forgot that Mediatraffic counts it separately.
Hopefully everyone will choose to buy the deluxe edition this holiday season.
And I just realized that Rihanna is not releasing the week of Black Friday, but a week earlier. She will still have competition from Rascal Flatts, though.

C'mon already and release "Quitter." So tired of her sleepy songs--we need some sass from her again.

His non-holiday albums are always huge blockbusters also. After New Years 2008 passed, Noel dropped off the radar. This album won't sell as much right away but it will continue to sell into the new year.
it’s age vs. youth for next week’s chart, as a debuting Susan Boyle will battle it out against Taylor Swift for #1 on next week’s HITS Album sales chart.
The duel is a repeat of last year, when Swift’s Fearless and Boyle’s I Dreamed a Dream went to the wire as 2009’s top-selling album, with the country princess barely edging the hard-charging Britain’s Got Talent star at the finish line.
Look for Boyle’s sophomore Columbia album, The Gift, to keep on giving for the holidays, after debuting this week with 240-260k, which would put her neck-and-neck for the top spot alongside the third week for Swift’s Speak Now. Which is good news for Lou Reed, whose “Perfect Day” is the first single from the Scottish singer’s release.
Swift’s album should benefit from tonight’s CMA awards, while the Boyle album is a certain stocking-stuffer as we head into the teeth of the gifting season.
Universal Motown rap superstar Kid Cudi’s Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager bows with a number between 180-220k, a lock for the #3 position.
Capitol/EMI’s debuting Now 36 is up next, with a total of 80-85k, while Island/IDJ’s Bon Jovi will score 70-75lk with their Greatest Hits—The Ultimate Collection package.
Valory/Big Machine veteran country star Reba McEntire is counting on All the Women I Am to buy between 60-65k of her new release.
Gnarls Barkley and former Goodie Mob moonlighting soul crooner Cee-Lo Green’s New Elektra album, The Lady Killer, rides the viral smash, “**** You,” to between 30-35k, followed by ABR/EMI’s Alter Bridge (24-27k) and Get Money Gang/EMI’s Twista (19-22k).
The market was down 6% vs. last week, down 21% vs. same week last year and still down 13% year to date. You can now resume looking for Bret Favre’s penis text on your iPhone.
C'mon already and release "Quitter." So tired of her sleepy songs--we need some sass from her again.
best selling album of the year!!!
