And I think iTunes numbers come in later, which will help The Decemberists, The Script, Mumford & Sons and Kanye West.

Remember in the past, They could have an album at 4,000 with 90% in and end up with 100,000 at 100% in. So you really shouldn't use a frown face yet. Yes. I feel like this is said every week but people doesn't listen.

At least we see an improvement! 90K is quite a bit higher than predicted, and we have 4 albums selling 40K+ this week vs the one last week. Awesome rise for Katy (+37%)

Nice to see numbers close to 100k! Never heard the Decemberists but I'm glad they're selling. Good for The Script and great increases for Ke$ha and Katy. Taylor's also hanging in there well.

Nice to see the No. 1 well exceed projections. Next week though (and the week after that) may see another record-low tally for the top spot.

66% isnt a bad drop at all for Cake. Expected a bigger % drop.

I wonder if Mumford & Sons can score another week in the top 10 after the final numbers are released... it's so close!

get those iTunes sales Katy! Closing in on her debut album's sales. plus with sales like these, there is no way her label is gonna fluff off (even tho it seems so right now) with her next releases.

Katy and Ke$ha's albums were on sale on iTunes. but only for 3 or 4 days, not the entire week. I think it was a Thursday to a Sunday deal. Even more impressive then.

Notice with only 1 bizarre exception -- all are during SS era. Pre-soundscan charts relied on a weighting of retail reports which were often more stable than soundscan charts And retail reports were often slow or late. On top of that, as far as I can remember, record companies generally never announced the dates of their album releases back then. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, most people often found out once they walked into a record shop and saw new albums on the racks. One of the rare exceptions of a widespread pre-Soundscan public announcement (in stores and on the radio) was in 1987, for the release of Whitney. It debuted at number 1. To tell you the truth, I liked the sales report method that existed before mid-1991. It told the story of how strong an album really was. After having read the charts almost every week since 1984, I came up with a simple rule of thumb: If an album reached the top 20 on the Billboard 200, it was almost certainly gold. If it reached the top 10, it almost certainly went platinum (one exception was Prince's 1988 album LoveSexy, which could only muster gold). If an album reached the top 5, double-platinum. Number 1, triple-platinum. Those days are long gone, though. This dying industry is reaching a point where fewer than 10 newly-released albums could go platinum this year.

I'm not understanding why you liked the old method of reporting sales. As far as I know Soundscan is the most accurate measurement of album sales we've ever had and I would certainly prefer accuracy over estimates.

I'm not understanding why you liked the old method of reporting sales. As far as I know Soundscan is the most accurate measurement of album sales we've ever had and I would certainly prefer accuracy over estimates. I've seen many comments, on this board and elsewhere, from people who questioned whether one album or another was really worthy of the number 1 spot. Over the last 19 years I have seen many a #1, #2 or #3 album drop completely out of sight, some of which struggled to go gold; yet, the artist and/or their record label would brag about the fact that the album reached the top of the charts. Under the old method, such an album would have barely made the top 20, and the record company would have had nothing to brag about. I'm pretty sure that Billboard's year-end chart would look almost the same if the old method were used, with most of the top 50 albums of the year having reached the top 5 at one point or another. And there is still the question of the number of mom-and-pop independent stores whose cash registers are still not wired to the Soundscan system. I'm almost certain that there are still thousands of albums out there (as opposed to tens or hundreds of thousands 19 years ago) that routinely escape tracking from Soundscan.
