I forgot to post this in last week's Billboard 200 thread.
Sade's live album was part of a DVD package so it's charting as a dvd release.

^ Maybe a last minute recalculation? Paul Grien doesn't have his out yet, either.

Week Ending May 27, 2012. Albums: Idols’ Ups & DownsBy Paul Grein | Chart Watch – 19 minutes ago Kris Allen and Adam Lambert, who were the winner and runner-up, respectively, on American Idol three years ago, both take some lumps on this week's Billboard 200 album chart. Allen's sophomore album Thank You Camellia debuts at #25, with sales of just 16K copies. Allen is only the second Idol winner to fall short of the top 20 with his or her sophomore album. Taylor Hicks' The Distance stalled at #58 in 2009. (Note: the 2010 and 2011 winners, Lee DeWyze and Scotty McCreery, have yet to release their sophomore albums.) Allen's debut, Kris Allen, reached #11 in 2009. Lambert's sophomore album Trespassing drops from #1 to #11 in its second week (22K). It's the first #1 album to drop out of the top 10 after spending just one week in the top 10 since Mac Miller's Blue Slide Park in November. The difference, of course, is that Lambert is a household name, while Miller isn't all that well-known outside of the hip-hop world. Lambert's drop wasn't unexpected: His 2009 debut album, For Your Entertainment, also spent just one week in the top 10. Pop Quiz: Only one sophomore album by an Idol winner has reached #1. Name that album. Answer below. Albums by two other artists who rose to fame on Idol are listed in this week's top 30. Carrie Underwood's Blown Away holds at #3 for the second week. The album holds at #1 on Top Country Albums for the fourth week. This is Underwood's longest run at #1 on the country chart since her debut, Some Hearts, logged 27 weeks on top in from November 2005 to May 2007. Underwood was Idol's Season 4 winner. Haley Reinhart's Listen Up! debuts at #16. Reinhardt finished third on Season 10. The top two Idols from that season both cracked the top five with their first albums. Scotty McCreery's Clear As Day hit #1. Lauren Alaina's Wildflower hit #5. Quiz Answer: The only sophomore album by an Idol winner to reach #1 is Underwood's Carnival Ride, which debuted in the top spot in October 2007. (Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway, which is the best-selling sophomore album by an Idol winner, peaked at #3.) John Mayer's Born And Raised debuts at #1. It's Mayer's third #1 album out of his last four studio releases. It follows 2003's Heavier Things and 2009's Battle Studies. Mayer's only album in this stretch to fall short of #1 was 2006's Continuum, which debuted and peaked at #2 behind Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveSounds. (In the nearly six years since those two superstar releases collided, Mayer has written and recorded two #1 albums and Timberlake has done just about everything in show business except make another record.) Born And Raised enters The Official U.K. chart at #4. It's Mayer's first top 10 album in the U.K. His previous best mark there was #35 for Battle Studies. Born And Raised sold 147K digital copies (out of its 219K total). This is Mayer's highest weekly digital sales tally to date. His previous best tally came when Battle Studies sold 129K digital copies in its first week. Mayer received a Grammy nomination as Best New Artist of 2002. He has now amassed as many #1 albums as the artist who won that award, Norah Jones. Two of the three other Best New Artist finalists that year, Ashanti and Avril Lavigne, have each had two #1 albums. (The fifth nominee, Michelle Branch, has climbed as high as #2.) That was a good year for new artists. Apocalyptic Love by Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators debuts at #4. This is Slash's second top 10 album as a solo artist. Slash reached #3 in 2010. It's the ninth top 10 album of Slash's career, with these two solo albums preceded by six albums with Guns N' Roses and one with Velvet Revolver. This is the second career top 10 album for Myles Kennedy. He's the lead singer of the rock band Alter Bridge, which reached #5 in 2004 with One Day Remains. Useless Information: Apocalyptic Love is the second top 10 album that features the word "apocalypse," or a variation of it, in its title. It follows Public Enemy's 1991 album Apocalypse 91…The Enemy Strikes Black, which also reached #4. Sara Bareilles' five-song EP Once Upon Another Time debuts at #8. This is Bareilles' third album or EP to make the top 10. Little Voice hit #7 in March 2008. Kaleidoscope Heart hit #1 in September 2010. Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" holds at #1 on Hot Digital Songs for the second straight week. Will it jump up to #1 on the Hot 100? You'll find out later today when we post Chart Watch: Songs. Here's the low-down on this week's top 10 albums. The Top Five: John Mayer's Born And Raised debuts at #1 (219K). This is Mayer's third #1 album; his sixth to reach the top 10….Adele's 21 holds at #2 for the third straight week in its 66th week on the chart (56K). The former #1 album has been in the top 10 the entire time… Carrie Underwood's Blown Away holds at #3 for the second week in its fourth week on the chart (45K). The album holds at #1 on Top Country Albums for the fourth week… Apocalyptic Love by Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators debuts at #4 (38K). This is Slash's ninth career top 10 album; Kennedy's second… One Direction's Up All Night rebounds from #10 to #5 in its 11th week (37K). The former #1 album has been in the top 10 the entire time. The Second Five: Lionel Richie's Tuskegee rebounds from #9 to #6 in its ninth week (33K). The former #1 album has been in the top 10 the entire time… MercyMe's The Hurt & The Healer debuts at #7 (33K). This is the Contemporary Christian group's second top five album. The Generous Mr. Lovewell reached #3 in 2010… Sara Bareilles' EP Once Upon Another Time debuts at #8 (31K). This is Bareilles' third top 10 album or EP….Now 42 drops from #6 to #9 in its fourth week (31K). It has been in the top 10 the entire time… Norah Jones' …Little Broken Hearts drops from #5 to #10 in its fourth week (28K). It has been in the top 10 the entire time. Glee: The Music: The Graduation Album drops from #8 to #17 in its second week. It's #1 on Top Soundtracks for the second week. Three other albums drop out of the top 10 this week. I've already told you about Adam Lambert's Trespassing, which drops from #1 to #11. Tenacious D's Rize Of The Fenix drops from #4 to #28. Beach House's Bloom drops from #7 to #31. Kimbra's Vows debuts at #13. Kimbra's featured credit on Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know" helped make that song a worldwide #1 hit…Joe Bonamassa's Driving Towards The Daylight debuts at #21. The album opens at #2 in the U.K. this week. Paul and Linda McCartney's Ram re-enters the chart at #22. The album nearly became McCartney's second #1 in a row (following 1970's McCartney), but it stalled at #2 (behind Carole King's monster hit Tapestry) in August 1971.The album is #1 on Top Catalog Albums this week, dethroning Adele's 2008 album 19. This is McCartney's second album to reach #1 on the catalog chart. His 1973 album with Wings, Band On The Run, topped that chart in March 1999. Ram spawned the smash single "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey," which topped the Hot 100 in September 1971. It was the second song by a former Beatle to reach #1 (following George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord"). It made McCartney the first former Beatle to win a Grammy for a post-Beatles project. (He won for Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s)). Harrison and Ringo Starr won their first post-Beatles Grammys for The Concert For Bangla Desh, which was voted Album of the Year for 1972. John Lennon won his first for Double Fantasy, which won as Album of the Year for 1981. Tedeschi Trucks Band's Everybody's Talkin' bows at #23. This is a disappointing debut. The act's previous album, Revelator, debuted and peaked at #12 in June…Pink Floyd's 1979 album The Wall vaults from #121 to #27 in its 142nd week on the chart. It's #2 on Top Catalog Albums. The album topped the catalog chart in April 1994…The Cult's Choice Of Weapon debuts at #34. The English hard rock band first charted in 1985. Two Bee Gees compilations re-enter the chart in the wake of Robin Gibb's death last week. The Ultimate Bee Gees re-enters at #47. Number Ones re-enters at #68. The Bee Gees-dominated Saturday Night Fever soundtrack re-enters at #165…The Hunger Games: Songs From District 12 And Beyond drops from #32 to #66 in its 10th week. It's the top-ranking soundtrack to a theatrically-released film for the seventh week. The Broadway cast album from the latest revival of The Gershwins' Porgy & Bess enters the chart at #141. This landmark musical first opened on Broadway on Oct. 10, 1935. The current revival, which stars Audra McDonald and Norm Lewis, opened on Jan. 12. It is nominated for a Tony for Best Revival of a Musical, where it is competing with revivals of three 1970s shows: Follies, Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita. The music from Porgy & Bess has cracked the top 10 on Billboard's pop album chart twice. Charlie Spivak plays selections from Gershwin's Folk-Opera Porgy And Bess reached #3 in 1945 (the year the chart was introduced). The soundtrack to the movie version (which starred Sidney Poitier and Dorothy Dandridge) reached #8 in 1959. That same year, a version of the score by Lena Horne and Harry Belafonte reached #13. A version by Ray Charles and Cleo Laine hit #138 in 1976. George Gershwin composed the music for the show. His brother Ira Gershwin and DuBose Heyward wrote the lyrics. George Gershwin died of a brain tumor on July 11, 1937, less than two years after the show opened. Sade's Bring Me Home Live 2011 enters Top Music Videos at #1. This is only the second time in the past six months that Adele's Live At The Royal Albert Hall hasn't been #1 on this chart. George Harrison: Living In The Material World hit #1 three weeks ago. Look for One Direction's Up All Night Live Tour to debut at #1 next week. Men In Black 3 was #1 at the box-office over the weekend. All three MIB movies opened in the top spot. The original spent its first three weekends at #1 in July 1997. The sequel spent its first two weekends on top in July 2002. Coming Attractions: Regina Spektor's What We Saw From The Cheap Seats is expected to be among next week's top new entries. Also due: Rebecca Ferguson's Heaven, Travis Porter's From Day 1, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes' Here, For Today's Immortal and the Walkmen's Heaven. Looking Ahead: Here are some of the key releases due in the next month: Usher's Looking 4 Myself (June 12), Justin Bieber's Believe (June 19), Linkin Park's Living Things and Maroon 5's Overexposed (June 26), Chris Brown's Fortune (July 3) and Zac Brown Band's Uncaged (July 10). music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart-watch/week-ending-may-27-2012-albums-idols-ups-165512338.html

Billboard's article has conflicting rankings for some albums: www.billboard.com/column/chartbeat#/news/john-mayer-earns-third-no-1-album-on-billboard-1007183752.storyJohn Mayer Earns Third No. 1 Album on Billboard 200by Keith Caulfield, L.A. | May 30, 2012 John Mayer's "Born and Raised" album debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 219,000 copies sold in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It's the singer/songwriter's third No. 1 set, following 2009's "Battle Studies" and 2003's "Heavier Things." "Battle Studies" bowed with 289,000 in its first week, while "Heavier Things" launched with 317,000. He released a solo studio album between those sets, 2006's "Continuum," which entered at No. 2 off a 300,000 start. As Mayer has a throat condition called granuloma, he's unable to sing and was prevented from doing a lot of traditional promotional activities to support the new album. However, during release week, he visited "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" on May 22, sitting in with house band the Roots and chatting with Fallon. He also played guitar with the band on "Late Show With David Letterman" (May 17) and was interviewed on NPR's "All Things Considered" (May 18). Mayer wrote to his fans on his official Tumblr. He said it was "incredible on all your parts because there has been very little I've been able to do to promote it." Meanwhile, last week's No. 1 album, Adam Lambert's "Trespassing," falls straight out of the top 10. It drops from No. 1 to No. 12 with 22,000 (down 71%). It's the first No. 1-debuting title to fall out of the top 10 in its second week since the Dec. 3, 2011, chart, when Mac Miller's "Blue Slide Park" collapsed 1-24. Back up the chart at Nos. 2 and 3, Adele's "21" and Carrie Underwood's "Blown Away" hold their positions. They sell 56,000 (down 11%) and 45,000 (down 17%), respectively. Slash's new "Apocalyptic Love" (featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators) debuts at No. 4 with 28,000. Slash's last studio album, his self-titled 2010 release, debuted and peaked at No. 3 with 60,000 sold in its first week. That effort was a star-studded affair, with guests ranging from Fergie to Chris Cornell providing vocals. On "Apocalyptic Love," Kennedy -- who also appeared on "Slash" -- sings on all of the tracks. One Direction's "Up All Night" jumps five spots to No. 5 (37,000; up 8%) while Lionel Richie's "Tuskegee" rises three to No. 6 (33,000; down 15%). MercyMe bows at No. 7 with "The Hurt & the Healer," shifting nearly 33,000 copies. It's the band's second top 10 album and follows 2010's "The Generous Mr. Lovewell," which debuted and peaked at No. 3 with an 88,000 launch. Sara Bareilles' five-song EP "Once Upon Another Time" starts at No. 8 with 31,000, giving the singer her third top 10 effort. She hit the top 10 previously with "Kaleidoscope Heart" (No. 1 in 2010) and "Little Voice" (No. 7 in 2008). The "Now 42" compilation falls three rungs to No. 9 with nearly 31,000 (down 27%) and Norah Jones' "Little Broken Hearts" tumbles five to No. 10 with 28,000 (down 38%). Just outside the top 10, "American Idol" winner Phillip Phillips' "Journey to the Finale" album debuts at No. 11 with 24,000. The set is exclusively sold via the iTunes Store. Phillips isn't the only "Idol" making waves on the Billboard 200 chart this week though, as 2011 contestant Haley Reinhart's debut album "Listen Up!" starts at No. 17 with 20,000. At No. 21, the "American Idol Season 11 - Top 2 Season Finale" EP bows with 18,000. Further down the list, 2009 winner Kris Allen sees his sophomore set, "Thank You Camellia," debut at No. 27 with 16,000. This year's runner-up, Jessica Sanchez, enters at No. 126 with her own "Journey to the Finale" album at No. 126 with 4,000. News about the new Digital Songs chart, and where Phillips' "Home" will debut, is due later today (May 30). Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending May 27) totaled 5.24 million units, up 3% compared to the sum last week (5.09 million) and down 22% compared to the comparable sales week of 2011 (6.67 million). Year to date album sales stand at 122.63 million, down 3% compared to the same total at this point last year (125.86 million). Next week's Billboard 200 competes with the same week in 2011 when: Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" held at No. 1 for a second week, selling 174,000 (down 84%). Death Cab for Cutie's "Codes and Keys" was the highest debut, starting at No. 3 with 102,000. |

^It will be interesting to see when Adele's label certifies it.
I'm sure the *second* it ships 10 million, it will be certified.
Will it have to cross 9.7 million SoundScan? Sales are decreasing so shipments are decreasing as well.

^ That's a good question. Stores used to keep it extremely overstocked, knowing they'd all sell eventually, but not so much anymore. 9.7 sales seems like a pretty good guess for Diamond cert.

Since certifications are based on shipments, I have a question for you charts freaks  : What if an album gets released only in digital retailers and has no shipments going on for it? It won't be able to be certified? And in Adele's case, let's say that 2 million of her sales have been digital ones. Would that mean she'll have to sell another 10 million physical copies to earn the diamond certification or would 8 million do the trick as well? |

Unless I'm mistaken, digital sales get counted as 'shipments' for the sake of certification. So, 2 million digital sales + 8 million physical shipments = diamond album. |

For digital albums, 1 sale = 1 shipment.

^Actually, no.
I know it sounds crazy, but digital albums/singles/videos are "shipped" to digital retailers.

^No. The label must ship/send a file with a certain amount of digital copies.

Rihanna, Talk That Talk (11,000, +4%, 889,000)
Good. I want this to sell 1 million.
Kelly Clarkson, Stronger (11,000, +33%, 806,000)
This will probably also sell 1 million.
Carrie Underwood, Blown Away (45,000, -17%, 486,000)
We all know Carrie will sell past 1 million.

Taylor Swift's Speak Now drops to #108 this week. This means that for the first time in a chart career of almost 6 years, Swift does not have a single entry in the top 100 of the Billboard 200! However, she does have two songs on the Hot 100 (Eyes Open at #60 and Both of Us at #81). She has never been without either a song on the Hot 100 or an album in the top half of the Billboard 200 since the debut of her very first single, "Tim McGraw." If "Both of Us" becomes a summer hit, then this streak is likely to continue throughout her fourth album era.

As long as the single choices are right, then yes, Carrie will sell past 1,000,000.

In terms of certification, it's the number of albums shipped, with digital sales added to that amount. So, digital sales are applied toward certs, but they're not regarded as "shipments."
Are there no Donna Summer albums on the chart this week? I did a quick scan, but maybe I missed something. This reflected the first full week of sales following her passing.

With Carrie on her first single, her upcoming tour, Christmas shopping and the fact that all of Carrie's albums have sold over 2 million, I think 1 million scanned is a safe bet. Now, 2 million? No. |

The RIAA website defines a digital shipment and a digital sale as virtually the same thing |

I think Blown Away (the song) will probably get the album very close to 1,000,000 by itself. Subsequent single choices will determine whether the album will cross the 2,000,000 threshold.
