EMINEM WILL RETURN TO TOP
Disney’s Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam and Black Label Society are the Week’s Big Releases
August 11, 2010
Now that the dust is settling on this week’s Arcade Fire album, whose sales total of 156k was over 62% digital (97k), the HITS Top 50 returns to normal next Tuesday, with Eminem’s Shady/Aftermath/Interscope album Recovery moving back to #1 in its eighth week and sending it over 2 million in sales.
With Amazon’s $3.99 special leading the way, the Merge critical darlings became the first act from that North Carolina inei, celebrating its 21st anniversary, to debut at #1 on the album sales chart. The band’s last release, Neon Bible, entered at #2 in March, 2007, with 92k, behind a Notorious B.I.G. greatest hits album.
Arcade Fire's digital sales were strong across the board, with iTunes selling it for $9.99, while the band’s web site offered its own version, featuring synchronized visuals, at $7.99.
eMusic had its biggest debut of the year on the album, with 6% of the sales total, with an onsite critique by the site’s editorial chief J. Edward Keyes here.
This week’s releases are topped by Walt Disney’s Camp Rock 2 soundtrack and E1’s Black Label Society, fronted by guitar maestro Zakk Wylde, both targeted in the 40-45k range.
That’s based on one-day sales reports from those music retailers now reduced to screaming into their phones at all hours of the day and night like Mel Gibson.
WB Nashville’s Blake Shelton and J/RMG Duke-bred rapper Mike Posner, whose album 31 Minutes to Takeoff soared to #1 at iTunes earlier this week, are both looking at sales between 30-35k.
The market was up 1% vs. last week, down 13% vs. same week last year and still down 12% year to date. We now return you to your testy, profanity-laced Jet Blue flight attendant.

The original Camp Rock soundtrack opened with 188K in June 2008. 40-45K is less than a fourth of that.

Disappointing.

I don't think Demi's the main problem. The Jonas Brothers cannot sell like they used to, their fanbase has moved on.
2008 was their year of biggest popularity.

How does tying with the same amout of sales work?
I assumed that they would be listed in alphabetical order.

I've seen the CR2 promos, the whole movie and soundtrack is a mess compared to the first one.
How do you release a soundtrack before the movie comes out?

Same here. It's just another case of Jay Sean/Jason Derulo/Taio Cruz/Travie McCoy kind of sales. I think Bruno Mars could join to that list too.

Em's selling power is amazing. Recovery is outselling what was supposed to be his comeback album. Interesting.

Relapse was a crap album.

Bruno Mars could be an exception, though. He (or his label) has been pretty smart. He was featured on two smashes and released an EP to garner some buzz. If I was apart of his label, I would definitely push the idea of releasing another single after "Just The Way You Are" peaks and then release an album. We'll see.

Mike Posner actually did better than I thought considering Cooler Than Me wasn't as big as Jason Derulo/Jay Sean/Taoi Cruz' debut singles. I was expecting like 20k tbh.

If she hadn't of had those street date violations (early sales, 176 in Gaga's case) then she'd be in the top 5

Oh well, it's not the first time she gets chart-****ed. Look no further than THE FAME selling so many copies and peaking at #2.
