U.K. Pop Diva Returns to #1 as Glee’s Warblers Will Be Week’s Top Debut
April 20, 2011
So far 2011 has turned out to be the year of Adele.
The U.K. pop diva’s XL/Columbia album 21 had the year’s best debut and now returns to #1 for the fifth time since coming out in February and selling 350k in its first week.
The Easter shopping week should boost the platinum-plus album to another six-figure week in sales. Meanwhile, her previous album, 19, is also climbing the charts. At this rate, next year’s Grammy race will be over sooner than the New York Mets’ season.
Based on one-day sales from those retailers still in shock at how much vinyl product they can sell, the week’s biggest debut comes from Columbia’s cottage Glee industry with Glee Cast: Glee Presents the Warblers, featuring songs performed by the show’s a cappella choir, led by star-in-the-making Darren Criss. Look for between 75-85k in sales for that.
Next highest debut in a week painfully short of them is Virgin/EMI’s Gorillaz album, The Fall, the physical/digital release of an album previously available to fan club members as a download last Christmas. The entire album was actually recorded on an iPad during an Oct. 2010 performance from the band’s last tour.
The market was up 8% vs. last week, up 16% vs. same week last year and now down just 3% year to date. In a world of bad news, consider that a ray of light.
You may now go back to programming your glowing LED computer-controlled Arcade Fire Coachella balls.

Yes! I think Glee has helped her slightly as well as Turning Tables is almost top 30 on itunes! (Adele's version). Hopefully she can do around 110-115k. ^^

Excellent for Adele, if she keeps up this consistency, 3 million is a good possibility by year-end.

She should also be consistent with Mother's Day sales... I could see people buying this as gifts as well. Go Adele!

Wonder if anyone can beat Adele for best selling album in 2011, both Billboard year-end and SoundScan.
Gaga? Beyoncé? Rebecca Black? Anyone else relevant?
Tayor is still ahead on Billboard's calendar (1.76 million), but Adele (1.12 million) is selling so much more it should easily catch Swift in three or four months.

The Easter bump doesn't really look big given these projected sales.

It's good to see that Britney will stay consistent this week thanks to Easter sales. Nice to see Taylor in the projection as well after a long absence.

Oh, Adele. I don't think I'd classify her as a "pop diva," but goes to show, again, that "diva" has become a term to describe any female act.

Very pleasantly surprised that FF looks to stay in the Top 5 another week AND see a sales increase?! I know it's due to Easter, but still - I am not used to this! Hopefully the bigger TTWE becomes, the more likely this will have steady sales. Looks good for Single #3 as well, unless Jive and Britney make a bad decision (though I doubt that as the album is very solid, would be hard to make a terrible decision IMO).
