BEYONCE ON REPEAT, LLOYD ONLY DEBUT OF NOTE Market Up in July, Up Overall Year-to-Date
July 6, 2011
The divas continue to rule the top of the charts.
Columbia Records’ Beyonce gets another week for her new album 4 at #1, where the likes of fellow female superstars like Adele, Jill Scott and Lady Gaga have recently made their home. On this week’s chart, 4 sold a total of 313k to debut on top over Adele.
With the fourth of July hitting on Monday, labels held back on their releases. The only significant newcomer this week is Interscope R&B crooner Lloyd, whose King of Hearts is his first album since 2008’s Lessons in Love. The first single, “Lay It Down,” was a Top 10 hit on the R&B charts last year. Initial one-day sales reports from those music retailers who haven’t paved paradise to put up a parking lot now peg the release’s sales in the 20-25k range.
S-Curve Bradenton, FL, rockers We the Kings’ third album, Sunshine State of Mind, is an iTunes exclusive this week before going wide on July 12. It is expected to do close to 10k.
Other major releases coming include WB Nashville's Blake Shelton, Epic's Incubus, Universal Republic's Colbie Caillat and Sony Nashville's Chris Young on July 12, with Universal Republic's Three Doors Down on July 19.
The market was up 7% vs. last week, up 14% vs. the same week last year and now up 1% year to date. Whoopie!

Adele shouldn't be too far off from 100k so I'm pretty sure Bey will get her 6 figures. Either way, another week at the top :'(

If I had to guess how much Bey is doing this week, I'd go with 115-125K.

OUCH at llyod. That's atrocious. 25k? Limp Biscuit sold more. And he wonders why BET put him on the pre-show.
Although, I completely blame whose idea it was to release his album 4 months after his 1st single peaked. Tha fuck where they thinking? I don't care who you are, if you have a hot 1st single, drop the album immediately. Don't give me that "I'm creating a classic" bull. You ain't making a classic.
His last opened with 55k with a weak 1st single...but they dropped the album at it's peak.
Interscope really can't handle Urban artists anymore.

Either way, I believe Beyonce is gonna have a small drop, probably staying under the 65% regular decrease. I think is great that she is finding success with this album, it's really good, shame the stans make it so hard to root for her.

LOL Now about Lloyd's album sales... this is a complete marketing and promotion failure at Interscope Records.

What was Interscope thinking when they set the album release date for Lloyd? Did they forget about the 4th of July? That's like the biggest summer holiday.
Lloyd's album was originally scheduled to be release on June 28th.
