Susan Boyle Extends Run Atop Billboard 200
January 06, 2010 - Retail
By Keith Caulfield, L.A.
In just six week since its release, Susan Boyle's "I Dreamed a Dream" has racked up 3,104,000 in sales, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
However, that impressive feat was not enough to overtake Taylor Swift's "Fearless" as 2009's top selling album. The latter is at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 this week, selling another 60,000 -- bringing its 2009 total to 3,217,000.
As it turns out, four of the year's biggest selling albums also happen to feature in the current weekly Billboard 200 chart, where Boyle leads for a sixth week. Here's a quick rundown of the rest of the top 10 on this week's chart: Lady Gaga's "The Fame," as predicted here last week, climbs from No. 6 to a new peak of No. 2 with 82,000 (down 51%). The 62-week old album had previously topped out at No. 4 back on March 21, 2009.
Alicia Keys' "The Element of Freedom" climbs one spot to No. 3 with 80,000 (down 71%) while Mary J. Blige's "Stronger With Each Tear" drops two spots to No. 4 with 62,000. Justin Bieber's "My World" EP is up one to No. 6 with 52,000 (down 67%) while the soundtrack to "Alvin and the Chimpunks: the Squeakquel" flies from No. 20 to No. 7 with 51,000 (down 43%). The set makes such a large positional leap thanks to its relatively small sales decline -- overall album sales were down 55% this week, so its drop is not so bad in comparison.
Rounding out the bottom slots of the top 10, we have the Black Eyed Peas' "The E.N.D." moving from No. 15 to No. 8 with 47,000 (down 55%), Lady Gaga's "The Fame Monster" EP up three spots to No. 9 (44,000; down 62%) and Owl City's "Ocean Eyes" up four rungs to No. 10 (down 59%).
Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending Jan. 3) totaled 7.76 million units, down 55% compared to the sum last week (15.14 million) and down 9% compared to the comparable sales week of 2009 (week ending Jan. 4; 8.51 million).

Ke$ha, Susan Boyle Vying For No. 1 On Next Week's Billboard 200
by Keith Caulfield, L.A. and Monica Herrera, N.Y. | enero 06, 2010 4:52 EST
The first sales week of 2010 could be another battle for No. 1, as "Britain's Got Talent" sensation Susan Boyle and "TiK ToK" singer Ke$ha compete for the top spot on the Billboard 200.
Early prognostications from label sources suggest that both Boyle's "I Dreamed a Dream" or Ke$ha's just-released debut album, "Animal," may sell around 100,000 copies by week's end on Jan. 10. With Ke$ha's very youthful audience going up against Boyle's more mature demographic, however, it's a tough call on who may come out on top.
Ke$ha's album has an attractive developing artist list price of $9.98, but it's on sale for less than that at the big physical retailers. Additionally, both the Amazon MP3 and iTunes Stores are offering it for only $6.99. Sources suggest that the album will have an overwhelming amount of its first-week sales powered by digital downloads of the set.
The 22-year-old pop newcomer has already made a lot of chart noise, as "Animal's" lead single, "TiK ToK," has sold 2.44 million total downloads -- including 394,000 this past week. It retains the No. 1 slot on the Hot Digital Songs chart for a third straight week as well.
A No. 1 position would be nothing new for Boyle, however. The singer has already clocked six weeks at the top with "Dream" and forced both Alicia Keys and Mary J. Blige to debut at No. 2 with their latest albums

Now that Ke$ha has a shot to hit the summit of the albums chart. I'm so going to buy a copy from iTunes....
That's going to be the most exciting chart in the past few months (cause we don't know who will be #1)...

It's been said that SuBo is already eligible for 4x Platinum for shipped copies, but I guess she'll sell 4 million 'til year-end....
