Billboard commented that last week's Billboard 200 had 41 greatest hits collections.

What would you rather see?

41 sale priced GH collections or albums by 41 current artists?

[Push The Button]

I wonder, if by some miracle, The Bodyguard could cross 12 million?

[HolidayGuy]

A few of those hits collections would qualify as "current," though, wouldn't they? Sometimes the catalog tirtles do take up more than their fair share of room, but it is catalog albums that have seen better annual sales in recent times than current albums.

Eventually yes, although it may take a while


It moves about 5000-6000 per year in normal times.

After this surge is over, it will likely return there

Yes, I was thinking recently. I assume it will move 2k-3k for a couple of weeks, closing the gap faster than before.

No, all old. I think the last GH that sold anything was Pink's which is over a year old and off the BB200.

[HolidayGuy]

^I asked, because I knew Bob Seger's Ultimate Hits is a current album- was released in November. :)

[areyoureadytojump]

^That's 1 out of 41 on last week's BB200.

[Deleted]

I think there is one or two from the Icon series or Playlist series that are not catalog as well.


In any case, GH albums seeem to sell well.

[brucelover]

Gaga really has had a big drop in popularity since The Fame/The Fame Monster.

I counted 11 GH albums on the TCA chart

So although most are indeed catalog, there are quite a few current ones too

Whitney lands a #1 afterall :o

Top Seasonal Albums

[HolidayGuy]

^Nos. 16-200 each sold between 10 and 83 copies. Nos. 51-200, 10-20 copies.

[Deleted]

Yes it takes 10 copies to chart

Alright fess up - which one of you guys is buying Christmas albums ;)

It's not officially Gold. The album has not been certified by the RIAA.

You mean, it's about to pass 500k in sales.

[babydoll9711]

maybe in Whitney's next certification update One Wish goes gold

[Honeymoon]

^Maybe they'll do that in November or December when they're shipping more copies to stores for the holidays.
