United World Chart - Week 4 2011

[Epic Fail]

Why don't we have a thread on this?

Michael Jackson had the number one album WW last week. Great numbers for him. It's interesting to look at this vs. the Billboard 200. Who said Rihanna was a singles artist? Pink also is a huge force on a WW basis, and Taylor Swift is less of a big deal.

The only reason you're posting is beacuse you're Rihanna fan and you expect her to be #1.

[felipe]

Most of Swift's sales are domestic, as expected.

"Back To December" will not help her cause internationally. I am quite surprised "Need You Now" by Lady A got pretty big in Europe. They seem to lean towards disco-pop.

LOL. Still not true. I really am not a Riri stan. I had to do somethng, I was getting bored and it came down to her or katy.

[Lockheart]

I'm pretty sure the singles artist term only occurs in the US, so I don't see the need to bring WW numbers.

Just as much are Taylor Swift's numbers domestic, Rihanna is mostly from the UK, and MJ is def. worldwide.

[Music Fan]

The Black Eyed Peas re really doing well WW, I know these are not 100% accurate, but it seems their US sales are just 25% of their total.

[Deleted]

^ Yep. That's why I wasn't stressing over the US response to it as much...I know it will still sell well WW if they continue pushing singles and promoting it. They have a huge following in Europe, just like Rihanna.

P!nk's WW numbers are really amazing too, esp for a GH compilation and not much promo.

[Enigma.]

Same with Bon Jovi

And Michael is over 2 million ww already.

[rosemoor]

Why is Michael Buble's sales still so high? he has no radio presence now and the album came out like more than a year ago.

He re-released not too long ago, and the UK loves him right now.

[jj99$ - - LeLe]

he got his yearly X-factor Promo in the UK and people love buying him as gifts in the UK.

Congrats Rih with your sales

Brings Rih's YTD to 891,000 -- although, those numbers for the first two weeks of the year are really from December, right?

True, the top ten sold less than 14K albums compared to this sales week, but the overall top 20 sold way more. Hopefully sales catch up next week but I doubt it.

MJ is holding on pretty well.

[ingrownhairdyke]

enter that chart Burlesque!!!!!!!!!!

[Cerbius]

I can't believe after all this time, TFM is still at #12 (3,000 copies away from #10). Absolutely insane. :o

[neverduplicated]

^ Correct me if I'm wrong, but WW doesn't a sale of deluxe Fame Monster and the sole EP version count the same? I know they are separated in the US, but I don't think that's the case internationally which would of course give the album a great advantage. Amazing longevity, nonetheless.

The sales for the separate EP that was released in the US don't count towards the main album, but the rest of the releases do count.
