Didn't it already chart before?

Anyways, someone tell me how the ****, is Kid Rock's **** in the top 10?
And yay Fergie!!!  |
Stop being so rude, Rico. 445k is INDEED a bit disappointing when your last album debuted with 1.1 million copies and sold almost 10 million total. Yes, I know it was 2004, but it doesn't matter. Mariah sold around 440k back in 2005 and now sold 475k - And I'm not even mentioning the fact that LITC is a bigger hit than TMB.  In other words, it's not like everyone is having lower first week sales these days, so Usher and his fans can't use that as an excuse.

I think he's talking about the album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, or Viva la Vida for short.
"Viva la Vida" (the single) is the title track, which yes, did chart last week at #10.

^ Oh yes, I misread it, probably because I saw "digital sales".  Anywayz, hope Coldplay breaks this year's best first week sales record.

I predict, and i never usually predict and stick to it, but Coldplay has marketed with Itunes, which gave them a lot of exposure to skyrocket their single, Viva la Vida so I really do think based on sales so far this year, once their album is released, they will claim the highest sales week so far this year.

"Yeah" is currently the biggest single of Usher's career and arguably of this decade in music.. Love in this club is just a few candles vs. the fire he released back then..
And because it's becoming a new pastime on this site:

Probably. I think X&Y sold over 700k in its first week.

They can very well save the market with high sales and some holding power. Like some of their music.

Experts are even saying this and now I'm ready to predict that Lil Wayne next week is going to sell 1 million copies in the 1st week with Tha Carter III

Four years after his "Confessions" rocked the charts, Usher returns to The Billboard 200 at No. 1 with "Here I Stand." With 433,000 U.S. copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan, the LaFace/Zomba album is the second biggest debut this year behind the 463,000 start of Mariah Carey's "E=MC2."
"Here I Stand" was led by the single "Love in This Club" featuring Young Jeezy, which was No. 1 for three weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. Usher's "Confessions" started at the penthouse in 2004 with a whopping 1,096,000 units and spent nine weeks on top. It went on to be the year's best-seller.
Coming in at No. 2 is the New Line soundtrack to the "Sex in the City" movie. The set -- which features tracks from artists as diverse as the Weepies, Jennifer Hudson, Run-D.M.C. and Nina Simone -- moved 66,000 copies. It's the highest debut for a multi-artist theatrical film soundtrack since "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" also started at No. 2 in November 2005.
3 Doors Down's Universal Republic self-titled set falls 1-3 with 63,000, a 59% sales decrease. Bun-B's Rap-A-Lot/Asylum set "II Trill" is down 2-4 with 40,000 (-59%), Leona Lewis' Syco/J album "Spirit" climbs 6-5 with 39,000 (-23%) and Reprise's retrospective Frank Sinatra collection "Nothing But the Best" slips 4-6 with 37,000 (-32%). Duffy's "Rockferry" (Mercury) endures a 19% sales decrease, moving 36,000 and ascending 8-7.
Carey's chart-topping Island Def Jam album "E=MC2" continues its decline 7-8 with a 20% sales decrease to 36,000. Al Green, who is also on the "Sex in the City" soundtrack, starts at No. 9 with "Lay It Down," selling 34,000. The Blue Note effort is Green's highest debut ever and his highest charting album since "I'm Still in Love with You" reached No. 4 in 1972.
Death Cab For Cutie's "Narrow Stairs" (Atlantic) rounds out the top tier, falling 5-10 with 33,000 (-36%).
Only two other efforts bow inside the top 50 this week. Cyndi Lauper's "Bring Ya to the Brink" (Epic) debuts at No. 41 with 12,000. It's the singer's first U.S. pop album since 1996's "Sisters of Avalon." Fergie's "The Dutchess: The Deluxe E.P." -- which contains the four tracks tacked on to the deluxe reissue of that album -- hops on board at No. 46 with 11,000. Interscope's "The Dutchess" reissue, released last week, causes the original album to bounce back up 104-28.
Album sales this week are up 0.44% from last week's sum with 7.24 million units and down 13% from the same week last year.

Lil Wayne will NOT do 1 million in his first week. We have to remember that his CD is going to be bootlegged like hell.

It will still push many units. It will be close though. Don't forget people bootlegged Kanye's Graduation too and he did a mill.
