No building chart for the next 2 weeks: www.hitsdailydouble.com/sales/salescht.cgiThey do mention they will give sales updates. Justin Bieber's iTunes only album is out today! The next major releases are out January 14.

I think the Duck Dynasty title will come in well above most expectations as well. Never underestimate the power of their demographic.

It's probably going to be physical sales then as the itunes album has yet to reach the top 10 like Kelly Clarkson's one has. I'd actually love to never hear about them ever again so thank goodness the end of the Christmas album buying season is nigh.

QUEEN BEY REIGNS ON: Physical sales on Beyoncé's year-end blockbuster are now projected at over 100k, thus raising the overall projection to 375k+ for the chart week ending today; it's likely that the album will reach the 1 million mark imminently, if it hasn't already. Retailers who have chosen not to carry the Columbia megadiva's album (due to the first-week iTunes exclusive) appear to have hurt only themselves. (12/23a) Finally a prediction I made turns out to not be horribly wrong!

400k seems very reasonable now. 100k sold at retail + 25k at other digital retailers + 275k iTunes.

The initial HITS projection took into account physical sales, though, didn't it? Or did it say the 275k would be from iTunes?

Yah, I saw the updated projection of 375K, but just figured it underestimated the physical sales that were to come.

I posted in an earlier thread before this week's projections came out that I wouldn't be shocked to see her at 400K with the physical copies added in. I'm glad that she's within that, since this record really is the essence of quality.

I'd actually love to never hear about them ever again so thank goodness the end of the Christmas album buying season is nigh. It has been physical sales every week actually. I would think it has something to do with fan demographics. Duck Dynasty has fewer fans in the iTunes crowd but sells more. Since this album has been so successful it is unlikely they will stop producing Christmas albums. (Glee had what? 4 volumes?) Regardless though, except for post-Christmas discount sales, neither Kelly Clarkson's album or the Duck Dynasty album will move much past tomorrow.

Billboard is saying Beyoncé will scan a million copies after one and a half weeks. Unbelievable. Beyoncé having a platinum Christmas.

www.billboard.com/articles/news/5847861/beyonce-album-nearing-1-million-in-us-sales'Beyonce' Album Nearing 1 Million in U.S. Sales By Keith Caulfield, Los Angeles | December 23, 2013 Beyonce's new album is nearing one million in U.S. sales and seems certain to top the Billboard 200 for a second week. After the set blasted in at No. 1 a week ago on the Billboard 200 chart with 617,000 sold in just three days, industry forecasters suggested the surprise album would sell perhaps 260,000 in its second week on the chart (and first full week on sale). Well, that number turned out to be far too low, so say sources. Industry contacts suggest the album sold at least 340,000 copies in the week ending Dec. 22, greatly surpassing its 260,000 forecast. That 340,000 sum should easily place it at No. 1 for a second week on the Billboard 200 chart. The official final weekly sales figure for the album -- as compiled by Nielsen SoundScan -- will be announced on Thursday, Dec. 26 on Billboard.com and Billboard.biz. SoundScan tracks U.S. music sales on a weekly basis, and their tracking week ends on Sunday. If "Beyonce" sold 340,000 in its second week on the chart, then that would bring its cumulative sum (through Dec. 22) to at least 957,000. That number could be higher, once all of the data from the thousands of stores that report to SoundScan has been processed. Also notable: if "Beyonce" sold at least 340,000 in its second week, that would mean it sold more than what the diva's last album did in its first week. Beyonce's previous album, "4," debuted with 310,000 at No. 1, and then sold 115,000 in its second week (also at No. 1). The new album was exclusively available through the iTunes store until late last week. After that, the physical CD version of the album started to reach brick-and-mortar retailers, and the download became available to other etailers. "Beyonce's" robust 340,000-plus second-week will not include CD sales from Target and Amazon.com, as the retailers opted not to stock the album. It is, however, available at all other major sellers of music, like Walmart, Kmart, Best Buy, Starbucks and so forth.

Must suck to be Target right about now. Not really. Target is doing what they think is best for their business interests. However, I just think they were wrong on this. The gave Walmart the opportunity to be the only major discount retail player selling Beyonce's album.

I lump them in as electronics retailer.
