Someone needs to throw a bag of cheetos @ Adele just to distract her.

...or to give her something to snack on as she effortlessy rules the music world.

[Agent Yoncé]

It is truly remarkable that her sales are doing much better this year.

Crazy to see 21 on top a year ago, and, possibly, on top again a year later.

Selling twice as much.

[Deleted]

Well.. she had no hit single at this point last year.

[areyoureadytojump]

That update must be "brick and mortar" retailers, no?

It seems that the first update usually is.

The WH sales are a giveaway. It's really too bad that the 3-pack stock was out there because it would've been nice for MLIYL to have hit the Top 10.

[HolidayGuy]

We will never know if MLIYL would have reached the top 10 or not, but 8.99 for three albums (at Amazon.com) is some darn excellent pricing.

How do we think The Hunger Games soundtrack will perform? The movie opens this Friday. I guess the soundtrack will do decently, but not on the level of the movie itself (kinda like Twilight).

I'm going to go on a limb and say it'll do well. Soundtracks haven't done well other than Glee in years. Does anyone have a list of movie soundtracks or scores to sell more than 500k in the last ten years?
Anyway, I feel like some effort has gone into it with the original track listing with some pretty big names by acts that typically sell well. Whether those fans will buy it is a question but I think the potential is there as is the right formula.

Here ya go:
15 12 13 BURLESQUE SOUNDTRACK 2403 -11 2690 565245
21 26 30 TWILIGHT SOUNDTRACK 1402 -15 1655 2727264

73 60 63 BLUE COLLAR COMEDY TOUR SOUNDTRACK 575 -5 603 711210
68 62 67 MAMMA MIA SOUNDTRACK 534 -10 591 1949577
79 82 93 ACROSS THE UNIVERSE (DLX) SOUNDTRACK 384 -11 430 792957
97 95 87 JOHNSON*JACK & FRIENDS CURIOUS GEORGE:SINGALONGS/LULL 392 5 373 1426248
86 HANNAH MONTANA HANNAH MOVIE SNDTRK 395 25 315 2064407
Those are the latest that I can find that are still on the Top Soundtrack Chart. Those that aren't on the chart would include:
Juno Soundtrack
High School Musical 3: Senior Year
Eclipse (Twilight Saga) Soundtrack
8 Mile Soundtrack
Garden State Soundtrack
Walk the Line Soundtrack

That's all I can think of from the top of my head. I excluded TV soundtracks.

[Enigma.]

Wow, go OD!

Quite low sales in low top 10.

22 15 WHITNEY HOUSTON RCA 17,370 +6%
I LOOK TO YOU
Interesting because everything else by her registered a decline.

[Deleted]

Yay for 1D

21k difference should be enough to guarentee #1 on SS. Afterall, Bruce still beat Adele with 10k difference on HITS.

[kingofpain]

That number 10 spot is totally up for grabs... Who will get it?

And congrats to Gotye for landing a top 10 album!

[Deleted]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssss!

[asg4]

adele might be #1 next week and it might be her last week at #1. I dont see the hungah games or the shims making much of a run

[badrobot]

Ah, bummer, really hoped Adele would reclaim.

[Honeymoon]

I think Hunger Games will be #1 next week. I'm not sure Adele will return to #1 until maybe the April 10th release week or 24th. And then there's Mother's Day. "Rumour Has It" taking off will help as well in April/May, I think.

i dont think adele can stay high 4 ever. its bound to lose steam in the following weeks and start selling below 100k. next week mdna then nicki possibly for 2 weeks and each week 21 loses some.

[DJ General]

Adele will be #1 for at least 1 week by the end of may without a doubt.

I think she also might not leave the top 10 for most of the rest of the year sans a few weeks maybe.

[Verisimilitude]

Adele will most likely leave the top 10 by September, I think (my inductive prediction).

[imbondz]

anyone know if there's any more 25 cent albums right now? Or is that promotion over?

That's done. Most of Google Play's sales now are groups of albums for $3.99, such as their current Spring Break Classics sale. (Don't ask me how albums that haven't ever been out during a Spring Break can be considered "classics," though.)

They all have at least 1 or 2 songs that are gonna be played out during Spring Break And when you look at the albums you can agree except about 3 or 4.

Haha, I know--I just think it's funny that they use a term like "classics" for new albums. Something like "anthems" would be more accurate, but that's just me being picky.
