how prego is she. id suggest a performance of both raise your glass and perfect at the billboard music awards but that could be incredibly tough, but i want this album to get a push, and im not sure how it will. releasing heartbreak down could get a platnium hit but i dont think itd sell the album too much since its not on the regular verison. itd keep the album selling on itunes but the other copies would have to rely on the first two singles

She is a little over 7 months now. When are the awards? I doubt she would do it. She is "on a break". Which she has rightfully deserved, so more power to her. I think it will cross 1 mill anyways. It's on track for around another 25k this week. So that would put her at just over 650k. She's always had great longevity.

haha may 22ish yeah she deff wont be able to do them haha. still they could release the single and just give it an anime video. i think anime videos are fine as a 1 time thing. and that tiny push could help the album pass the million mark

Billboard 200/Catalog Albums Chart Update - April 16, 2011

Rocket To #1: Elton John's "Rocket Man: Number Ones" comes straight back in at #1 on the Catalog chart, denying Adele's "19" a seventh consecutive week at the top. It also re-enters the Billboard 200 at #45, by far its highest position since becoming a Catalog album. It previously reached #5 on the Catalog chart but had never been in the Top 100 of the Billboard 200 as a catalog album.
"Rocket Man" is the first Catalog album to come straight in at #1 since "The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection (EP)" came in at #1 on November 14 of last year. That feat has been accomplished 44 times, but only eight times through the year 2000 and 36 times since then. It's the 24th time that an album that had previously been on the Catalog chart returned at #1, and all 24 of those have occurred since 2001. It's the first time an album has been on the Catalog chart, dropped off, and returned at #1 less than a month later since "The Essential Michael Jackson" did it in March of 2009. It just seems appropriate that this week marks the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's first manned space flight!
Also, Elton John's "Greatest Hits" also re-enters the Catalog chart at #32. This album spent five weeks at the Catalog top spot, and was #12 on the original Top Pop Catalog chart. It spent 409 weeks prior to this one on the Catalog chart, mostly between 1991 and 2002, and was last seen on the chart in 2004.

Christmas Redux: For the second time in a month, a Christmas album appears on the Catalog chart out of season, as Sting's "If On A Winter's Night…" enters at #28. Andrea Bocelli's "My Christmas" was in the top 25 just three weeks ago. What's really strange is that Sting's album actually climbs to a new catalog peak position this week, bettering its three previous weeks on the Catalog chart.

New On The Chart: Elton John leads the list of 13 new entries on the chart this week, and of those, four are first time Catalog entries.
Derek And The Dominoes (featuring Eric Clapton, who has five previous Catalog albums) reaches the tally for the first time with their 1970 classic "Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs" at #19. Further up in the top 10, The Beastie Boys' "Solid Gold Hits" (2005) becomes only their fifth Catalog album, but one of those was a huge hit; "Licensed To Ill" spent half a year atop the Catalog chart and over 400 weeks on the chart. Guns 'N Roses 2008 studio release, "Chinese Democracy", hits the Catalog chart after a run of just 15 weeks on the Billboard 200. This is only the fourth Catalog album for G N R, but two of the others, "Appetite For Destruction" and "Greatest Hits", were major Catalog hits and reached #1. The fourth was "G N R Lies" which only reached #21 on Catalog. Finally, Pearl Jam's "Vs." is a new entry, and only their third Catalog album. "Ten" made it to #1 just last year.
Two other albums return to the Catalog chart after absences of more than a year. Elton John's "Greatest Hits", previously mentioned, has not been on the chart since 2004. Coldplay's "A Rush Of Blood To The Head" was last seen in 2009.

Milestones: With a return to the Catalog chart this week, Evanescence's "Fallen" becomes the 55th different album to amass 200 or more weeks on the Catalog chart. It's only the 25th album that is not a greatest hits or other compilation to make it to 200 weeks. And it's also only the fourth album to make its Catalog debut in 2005 or later to make it to the 200 week mark. The others are the "Wicked" cast album (2005 - 250 weeks), "Michael Buble" (2005 - 234 weeks) and Guns 'N Roses "Greatest Hits" (2006 - 220 weeks).
Which album will make it to 200 weeks next? Michael Buble's "It's Time" would be a good guess, because it needs just seven more weeks. Other contenders are "The Best Of Sade" (188 weeks) and Norah Jones' "Come Away With Me" (182 weeks). If none of these can do it, Michael Jackson is 23 weeks shy of the goal with "Number Ones". He should get to the milestone in about 23 weeks from now!

Chart Multiples Update: Five artists have two or more albums on this week's chart; Metallica leaves the list:
1. Eminem: Only Eminem has more than one catalog album on the Billboard 200 - and he has three, "Curtain Call", "The Marshall Mathers LP", and "Relapse".
2. Michael Jackson: "The Essential" and "Thriller" both hang out near the bottom; #14 for "Number Ones" is its worst showing since the Christmas weeks.
3. Taylor Swift: She remains on the Billboard 200 with "Fearless", and "Taylor Swift" remains on the Catalog chart but continues to drop.
4. Elton John: Both "Rocket Man" and his original "Greatest Hits" re-enter the chart this week.
5. Guns 'N Roses: "Chinese Democracy" from 2008 notches its first week on the Catalog chart while "Greatest Hits" continues its run.

Here are the catalog albums on this week's Billboard 200:

The Catalog #1 ten years ago (Apr 14, 2001): "My Own Prison" by Creed (52nd week). It would stay at #1 through April 28.
The Catalog #1 fifteen years ago (Apr 13, 1996): "Licensed To Ill" by The Beastie Boys (21st week overall). This run encompassed just one week.
