^sorry to burst a (possible) joy-bubble, but this happens with every artist...they have a breakthrough album that opens weak but grows and grows and become a big seller over a long period of time.
the follow-up opens alot better, but falls quickly b/c the novelty is gone.
Happens to most artists/bands, not everyone of course (hopefully Natasha included), but for alot

[Anthony K.]

^ Who said I don't know that happens A LOT? :-/ Gosh, I'm just saying I think 50k for Natasha in a week where the #1 sold 65k is pretty good. Just my opinion.

[Adrian]

Sales numbers are amusing.

[Saba]

Natasha had good numbers for a ****** week any way youlook at it

Considering Unwritten debuted at #26, sold 34,000 copies in its first week, and was certified platinum I'd say this is on the road to success, seing as it has many more songs with single potential than Unwritten did, I'm expecting at least 3 top 20 singles, 1 down, 2 more to go : )

[J@rv$]

NB -- yay Top 3


RIHANNA!!!!! BACK IN THE TOP 50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah great job for DSTM!

Well, most of the artists you listen to have little talent so it wouldn't surprise us.

STFU

And I don't want to sound mean, but where is Kelly Rowland right now? LOL, she's struggling in the USA last I checked.

[Flashing Lights]

Pocket Full Of Sunshine will be her next smash hit!

No, you STFU

I never said Kelly was succesful. hahaha, we weren't even talking about her but now that we're on that she can outsell Paula DeAnda, Christina Sturmer and Stephanie McIntosh anyday so you still need to STFU.

Full chart?

[JDM]

ROCK BOTTOM: It’s looking bad, folks. A week before the traditional post-Grammy and Valentine’s Day sales spikes and discs by recognizable name acts like Jack Johnson, Lenny Kravitz and Sheryl Crow hit the street, next Tuesday’s HITS Album chart will feature the lowest-selling #1 entry in modern history. Universal Motown’s debuting prog-rockers Mars Volta will vie with J’s Alicia Keys and Rhino’s resilient Juno soundtrack for the top of the heap next week, with a projected sales total of 50k, give or take. Jive/ZLG rockers Bullet for My Valentine and the Grammy Nominees 2008 compilation on Hip-O/UMe both look in the 45-50k range, making the top of this week’s chart a five-record horse race. The overall market was up 5% over last week, down 14% vs. same week last year and now down 10% year-to-date. It’s only January and we’re already down double-digits, which can’t be good news. (1/30p)

GGGB back in Top 50!! Weee!!

[Tightrope]

I only bashed Taylor Swift and i didn't know she was your favorite, then you started the ****. Just leave me alone you stalker

[Flashing Lights]

The sales are pathetic.

[Yahhh!]

Rihanna Finally Goes Platinum...WTF?
Posted on January 31, 2008 10:37 AM

So you telling me... we rode her bra strap all these months and chica is just now getting around to selling a million copies of Good Girl Gone Bad?

According to the SOHH assessment of the album charts... Rihanna, after 34 weeks, is just now going platinum.

See that is some ********. Def Jam coulda gave Bobby Valentino another single, they could have kept Christina Milian... they could have given Janet Jackson a better video instead sinking all this time and attention into a chick who -- is pretty as hell-- ain't really worth her weight.

That's a damn shame... and all it took was her changing her haircut 3 times and like 5 music videos, a publicity stunt involving Jay Z and Beyonce and a broken toe. DAMN SHAME!

[Exodus]

Christina Milian & FeFe Dobson could have taken more promo and done better than Rihanna. ;p
