HITS 9/26-27: Tony Bennett 150-170k

[Deleted]

George Burns had the record for all singles until this week and Tony Bennett broke that. Pretty safe bet he would get the albums record too

[DJ General]

I wonder if blink-182 will have an interesting week? I'm hoping for 200k but I have no idea.

Probably around 130-150k.

I predict 70k.

[areyoureadytojump]

The New Release Schedule says 119k.

[HolidayGuy]

^And we know that one label's predictions are like the bible. (just joshin')

Blink-182's commercial appeal isn't what it once was, so I'd be surprised if it got near 200K.

[Minor Scratch]

I say around 90-100K for Blink.

Some new/revised estimates from the New Release Schedule:

Michael Buble Xmas 94k
Justin Bieber Xmas 394k
Now 40 215k
Twilight B.D. Sdtk 90k
Glee Xmas 2 125k
Andrea Bocceli 140k
Nickelback 250k
Lady GaGa Deluxe Cd/Dvd 198k
Glee Vol 7 120k

a second glee xmas album isnt needed. at all. they have plenty of songs from the first album that werent on any episodes, they should just promote that more. i think nickelback could be a bit higher

[kingofpain]

Wow how did Mumford get a huge increase? Congrats to Tony.... still stunned at Adele's longevity in the top 3! New releases come and go and Adele remains!

[Mike]

SLY doing wonders for Adele. They really timed it just perfectly.

Hopefully Demi will be able to hit 100K on soundscan. Solid numbers for Gavin considering he hasn't had a substantial hit in quite some time.

[Wrecking Ball]

I thought Demi would do more considering all the promo and the good press shes been getting

A first in Tony Bennett's career a #1 album (and he deserved it)
and now 500,000 in sales for Jackie's Dream with Me! Awesome!

[I Wish]

Looks like not everyone is here for a contrived and prolonged sob story.

[badrobot]

Still amazed at how well Demi does, considering I have literally never heard a single person even mention her name or hear any of her songs anywhere other than the internet. If I didn't come to this forum I would not have any idea she existed.

Congrats to Tony!

And Adele might be #2 with Soundscan...

[nightshade]

Demi did good. I am pleased.

She has a solid fanbase who rushes to buy her album first week, same as many others.

Clearly!

I am assuming that she just has an extremely young fan base. My friends are all in the 25-35 age range, and are aware of the tween/post-tween stars like Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Jonas Brothers, and even Selena Gomez, but "Demi Lovato" is not a name that I've ever heard them mention or listen to.

[Fat Ass Kelly Price]

I don't think so. If her recent shows in NYC and LA are any indication, her fanbase is more in the older teenage/young adult range.

If you look at the audiences of those you listed (minus Miley), you see more young ones, such as tweens.

Agreed. Selena get's way more coverage and radio play and yet Demi seems to be the one with the bigger fan base. I just hope Demi get's some radio hit's to sustain the album.

Great numbers for Tony! And Adele :)

[thehellion]

Don't know why Opeth are missing from HITS' chart. They'll make the Top 30 easily.

[badrobot]

I guess I misphrased that a bit -- I'm not saying "extremely young" as in 8 year olds, I'm saying "extremely" as in 95% or so are in a young (under 25) bracket.

Miley and Selena both had some adult pop crossover hits that have made them more well-known to an older (over 25) audience, while Justin/Jonas reached a level of pop cultural awareness due to being teen heartthrobs (I'm realizing I actually don't even know any Jonas Brothers songs either).

Seems like Demi has not had either of those scenarios occur (maybe Skyscraper will do that?) so while it appears she has the same size 'core' audience, she has very little awareness outside of that core.

[Fat Ass Kelly Price]

That's fair, since she has not achieved their levels of success musically.
