Yeah.... I think some of us are a bit bummed. I mean I didn't expect 500k, but at least 250-300k and a #1 open. I redeemed a free coffee to cheer me up. Getting things for free makes me happy, even if I can afford them. I know it's not a big deal, and it will do well, and yada yada yada, but it's hard not to feel a bit disappointed.

Oh, and I did buy a copy of the album :) It's the only album I bought this year since I usuallly stream all my music at Rhapsody.com through my subscription. I bought it moreso for the artwork and as a keepsake.

I think the overall total for "Memoirs" will be more humbling than first week sales. I'm fully expecting this to sell around 650k in the US when all is said and done. I Want To Know What Love Is is going to give the final blow to this era and by the time H.A.T.E.U. is released all chance of a revival will be gone (though I'm hoping, as a single, H.A.T.E.U. will still perform moderately well at least). Perhaps a re-release could fatten the overall numbers just a bit (but I wouldn't expect a platinum album either way).

Glitter sold around 650k. Perhaps the public are annoyed by the narcissism contained within this era (Obsessed/album title etc)? It couldn't simply be "because she didn't do enough promo so the public didn't know about it" as the promo appearances made Friday did practically zilch for her overall first week total. |

Why must Def Jam always release a ballad as the 2nd single. Its okay to do two uptempos in a row. UP OUT MY FACE would have been perfect.

At the end of the day, it's their own fault. Bet she won't be thanking us for the #3 debut on twitter.

I don't see them rereleasing the album if it scans under 1 million. |

Whatever, at this point, I'd be happy with 500k. I'm excited about the remix album too. I don''t care how this performs. More Mariah time for me. Now we can get "intimate" performances a la Charmbracelet era again.

It couldn't simply be "because she didn't do enough promo so the public didn't know about it" as the promo appearances made Friday did practically zilch for her overall first week total. Obsessed is such a topical song that I just don't think it connected with the general public - at least, not enough to make them buy the album. I know some people are going to cite airplay as some sort of proof that it appeals to the general public, but wanting to hear it on the radio and wanting to spend $15 on an album are two very different propositions. Just look what happened with Sean Kingston's recent disaster of an album for proof of this. |

(and I dont say this snarkily or sarcastically, I am sincerely interested in your opinion b/c no matter the artist you tell it like it is) |

But it was certified Platinum by the RIAA. I was referring to "Memoirs" reaching at least one million in physical sales (as having an album certified platinum when it didn't even come close doesn't really mean much).  |
