That's crazy that they still do a Seasonal Albums list when the bottom charters are barely selling 10 copies week. Although a few hundred sold a week for Bieber and Buble's new Christmas sets are still impressive. That means they will still probably sell 2000-3000 copies of their Christmas sets between the end of holiday 2011 to the start of the 2012 season. Interesting. That is quite a hilariously pointless list, but it is nice to have a current running total on Tori Amos' Midwinter Graces. I am actually surprised to see that it broke 50K. |

Before Soundscan they didn't even have an accurate way of measuring sales. |

19 will join the 2 million list next week, like Whitney Houston's hits album did this week. 21 will pass the O Brother soundtrack, and should be two weeks away from catching Journey. I wonder if the Bodyguard soundtrack will pass The Beatles again, for a little while at least.

Still a great showing

Not bad, nothing wrong with a gold album
67 66 70 GLEE CAST VOL. 5-GLEE: THE MUSIC 578 -9 632 322976
This is where they shouldve noticed it is getting to be too much

Too much for the second time...
11 8 16 GLEE CAST GLEE: THE MUSIC, V7 2624 -30 3738 171325
overkill.
an 8th installment will do worse, hopefully it could hit 125k...
21 32 48 43 GLEE CAST MUSIC: XMAS 29 4 28 1034384
This was a success

How is it a bad idea to release? Fans of the show obviously still love it...and they don't cost much money to produce as they are selling digitally as well. no reason to stop soundtracks. and they won't either.
also, we got a TON of numbers this week!!! nice!!!!!!!
I'm thinking Adele will probably do around 180-220k for next week...will Bruce be able to top her? I know he and his band were on Jimmy Fallon last night and they are returning Friday for the whole hour. A lot of people seem to really be into the album. I wonder if he can do 200+?

I wonder if the Bodyguard soundtrack will pass The Beatles again, for a little while at least. Well even with the post Whitney's death surge in the last couple of weeks, The Bodyguard soundtrack is still over 120k behind the Beatles' 1 album, so I don't see it surpassing them anytime soon. |

I don't think Bruce will have any issues dethroning Adele for a week. But a lot of people thought Van Halen were going to do it. That obviously didn't happen. |

Even if the Bodyguard managed to surpass the Beatles, it wouldn't last long. 1 is a much more consistent seller.

Whitney Houston Becomes First Woman With Three Albums In Billboard 200's Top 10 February 29, 2012 By Keith Caulfield ( keith_caulfield), Los Angeles (Photo: Patrick Demarchelier) This week, the late Whitney Houston becomes the first woman to place three albums in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart at the same time. "Whitney: the Greatest Hits" holds at No. 2 with 174,000 (down less than 1% according to Nielsen SoundScan), "The Bodyguard" soundtrack jumps 38-6 (47,000; up 176%) and "Whitney Houston" motors 37-9 (30,000; up 72%). Chart Moves: Whitney Houston's Album Sales Rise 144%; Madonna's Post-Super Bowl Slide; Adele's 'Rumour' Returns She's also found at No. 16 ("I Look to You," 19,000; up 109%), No. 30 ("My Love Is Your Love," 15,000; up 312%), No. 39 ("I'm Your Baby Tonight," 13,000; up 262%), No. 105 ("The Preacher's Wife," 5,000; down 30%), No. 126 ("Just Whitney," 4,000; up 57%), No. 133 ("Whitney," 4,000; down 43%). One more title is at No. 73. It's a three-CD bundle of "Baby," "My Love" and "Just Whitney." It sold 7,000 (up 423%). Whitney Houston Has No. 2 Album, Grammys Push Big Gains On Billboard 200 Houston's Album Sales Climb: In total, for the week ending Feb. 26, Houston's albums sold 320,000 (up 29% compared to the previous week's haul of 247,000). She also sold 373,000 tracks this week -- down 75% compared to the week previous (1.5 million). Since her death, she has sold 668,000 albums and 2.76 million tracks. As physical stock of Houston's albums are finally reaching retail outlets, we see her older catalog sets moving up the list. Since her death on Feb. 11, the bulk of her album sales have come from digital downloads, as most retailers didn't have physical copies of her albums on-hand. This past week, downloads made up 8.4% of her total album sales. That's a steep drop from her digital share the week previous, when downloads were 54% of her overall album sum . A Historic Top 10 Houston's placement of three titles in the Billboard 200's top 10 amazingly marks the first time in almost 44 years an act has accomplished the feat. The last time an act scored three simultaneous top 10 sets was on July 6, 1968, when Simon & Garfunkel were at Nos. 1, 2 and 10. That week, "Bookends" was tops, followed by "The Graduate" soundtrack in the runner-up slot and "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme" at No. 10. Billboard launched its first all-encompassing pop albums chart on Aug. 17, 1963 -- which combined both mono and stereo albums. Previously, we had separate tallies for mono and stereo recordings. Since then, aside from Houston and Simon & Garfunkel, the only other acts to net three albums in the top 10 at the same time were the Beatles; Peter, Paul & Mary and Herb Albert & the Tijuana Brass. (All did it on various weeks between 1964 and 1966). Herb Albert & the Tijuana Brass holds the record for the most concurrent top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, with four (April 4, 1966). Don't Forget the King of Pop and the Fab Four: Presently, the Billboard 200 ranks the week's biggest-selling albums in the U.S. -- regardless of their age. Thus, this is why Houston's self-titled 1985 debut is among the more recently-released in the top 10 this week. However, as of the chart dated Dec. 5, 2009, the Billboard 200 altered its rules to let older albums -- also known as "catalog" titles -- to chart alongside newer releases. Thus, it must be noted that had the Billboard 200 allowed catalog albums to chart previous to then, both Michael Jackson and the Beatles would have claimed three simultaneous top 10 titles that year. On the now-defunct Top Comprehensive Albums chart (which ranked both new and old albums), Michael Jackson posthumously notched three or more of the top 10 for seven different weeks after his death on June 25. For two of those frames (July 25 and Aug. 1) he owned an incredible six of the top 10 best-selling albums of the week. Later that year, on Sept. 26, 2009, after the Beatles' reissued and remastered its studio albums on CD, the fab four earned five of the top 10. |

^ The funny thing is that if Adele's Live DVD/CD were included on the albums chart (the way Taylor Swift's was), she would've had 3 albums in the top 10 for a few weeks now, including this one.

What caused this?
On the sidenote: the album might go top 40 again later this year in the wake of the 30th anniversary.

Would 21 have topped Van Halen's album without the Grammys boost, though? (not just the event itself that week, but the hype leading up to it)

www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/retail/chart-moves-usher-s-climax-arrives-young-1006338752.storyThe Billboard 200 We already recapped the top 10 on the chart this week in earlier stories, so let's look at some of the movers and shakers farther down the list: -- Maroon 5: The band's latest album, "Hands all Over," surpasses 1 million in sales this week, thanks to an additional 9,000 copies sold. It's their third million-selling studio set in three tries. "Hands" debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the chart dated Oct. 9, 2010, and this week slips 40-55 in its 71st frame on the tally. The group's first album, "Songs About Jane," was released almost a decade ago -- on June 25, 2002. -- Michael Jackson: The King of Pop's iconic 1982 album, "Thriller," returns to the list (No. 88; 6,000) after Amazon MP3 discounted the set to $3.99 for its daily deal on Feb. 26. It's up by 112% with a 561% jump in downloads. Almost 29 years ago this week (March 12, 1983), it was in its third week (of 37!) at No. 1. -- "The Muppets": The soundtrack's song "Man or Muppet" won the Academy Award for best original song on Feb. 26 and in turn, the album rallies with a 5,000 increase (up 122%, re-entering at No. 113). The song itself re-enters the Kid Digital Songs chart at No. 4 with 4,000 sold (up 368%). -- Sinead O'Connor: The artist, who has seemingly made more news lately for her on-again-off-again marriage to Barry Herridge, returns to the list for the first time since 2007. Her ninth studio album, "How About I Be Me (And You Be You)?," debuts at No. 115 with 5,000 sold. -- "Tron: Legacy" & "O Brother Where Are Thou?": The pair of soundtracks are among those priced at $3.99 in Amazon's MP3 store. "Tron" sold 5,000 last week (up 141% at No. 119) while "O Brother" shifted 4,000 (up 127% at No. 144).

Even though I despise 'MLJ,' I'm glad it helped them scan a milli. Can't wait to hear some new music from them. I want a really good album from them w/more than one hit.
