GaGa's sales are so low :( I was hoping she'd be pulling consistent Adele-like numbers. I love the CD, but this eras already feeling stale. Something's missing..

Those are decent numbers for Beyonce. However, the long-term sales will be more interesting. Will she sell just over a million and drop off or will the album have legs? She is about due for an underperforming album, but maybe that'll come later.

Not a big drop for Gaga it seems... from 49k to 40ish.
And are people still THAT interested in Limp Bizkit? Top 20 album is pretty good for such an irrelevant act.

I guess LB still have small fanbase left...
The most drastic drop happened between 'Starfish' and 'Result May Vary': from 6xplatinum to platinum and the latter hasn't even sold 1 million yet I believe.

I believe Adele had at least a couple other weeks below 100K. But, I don't think 21's dropped below No. 3 in its (to-be) 19 weeks on the chart.

I honestly don't see how 'stanning' is any scarier than 'hating'. Funny thing is that most of those stans dont see the difference between a differing opinion and "hating"......They take any comment they dont like or that doesnt praise her as "hate" which is the cause of ALL these problems..... The noble-like comments U make wouldnt fall short if it wasnt for the other stans pissing on it........they create every possible conflict so when U go + sound noble to diffuse the drama,it looks messy since that lot were the ones who create it in the 1st place Stan wars are all about taunting, drama, and conflict. It's hilarious at first, but after a while, it's scary. |

Beyonce album off to strong start despite bad buzz
Reuters, Jun 30, 2011 6:29 pm PDT
After reports of dissatisfaction, panic and other pre-release drama, Columbia Records executives say Beyonce's new album "4" is off to a strong start since going on sale worldwide on Monday.
Early indications are that the album will debut at No. 1 in as many as 14 countries, including the United States, Columbia/Epic Label Group Chairman Rob Stringer told Billboard.com..
The first single, "Run the World (Girls)," stalled at No. 29 on the Hit 100 after it was leaked. The album itself was leaked on June 7, three weeks ahead of its June 28 release date. This led to reports that "4" would be delayed and possible altered -- particularly after a tepid response from the blogosphere..
"We didn't want the leaks to happen," Stringer said. "But there was never any discussion of this album moving. It has always been that date. It's been that date for four months now. There was never a conversation about pushing it back, bringing it forward, changing the songs -- none of it.".
Stringer said the company is looking at an 18-month campaign for "4," which will include "extensive touring" by Beyonce. Just back from a successful overseas run that included three concerts in France and a closing-night gig at the U.K.'s Glastonbury Festival, she'll roll out a documentary, "Beyonce: Year of 4," on Thursday on MTV and BET, then perform Friday on ABC's GMA Summer Concert Series. She'll head back to the U.K. for a July 9 show at Scotland's T in the Park and a stop the next day at a festival in Ireland..

It's going to be the first album to spend its first 19 weeks in the top 3 since the Backstreet Boys' Millennium twelve years ago. referring to the article 2m posted: how often do we see record label's reporting how long they plan to "campaign" an album? Is 18 months just a standard time period for major artists? |

Is 18 months just a standard time period for major artists? While not unreasonable for a star of Beyonce's caliber, an 18-month campaign does depend on consistent success. I remember before E=MC2 came out, Def Jam were saying they would release 6 singles, have a big worldwide tour, and a re-release was even in the works for bit. But then when the singles started flopping, what would've been an 18-month campaign turned into short-lived success. It's very possible the same could happen to Beyonce this era if she doesn't get any smash singles from this era. No smashes = no buzz = unprofitable to "campaign" for such a long time. Of course I fully expect Beyonce to tour regardless cause that's her thing, but 18 months seems like a bold statement at this point. |

There are old Billboard articles about the worldwide campaigns for Daydream and Music Box. |

Uhhh ohh When the record company starts saying they are going to do a long campaign for an album, that's when you know the era is in trouble. |
