Thanks for posting the charts, 2m. :)

No problem

However, from reading this thread I seemed to have strayed a bit off-topic by doing that. ;)

[dbhmr]

So what ended up happening with UK mix and the exact sales numbers? I apologize if this was explained already but I just can't read through this Madonna mess anymore to see if we're going to still have them posted here or not. Thanks to those who have posted them, and hopefully will be able to continue to do so!

They will be posted once someone over there has them 'arab' usually. Then they will be pasted over here by someone else.

It is possible that he doesn't have them this week. If the site that he gets them from does not post them, he won't either

Indeed- if the percentage drop was from a lesser star, it would not be a big topic, because it would not drive traffic to all of these sites. But because it's Her Madgesty...

That $6.99 iTunes sale certainly boosted album sales for those sale-priced 10 titles, even though there was just one day impacted for this week's charts.

Madonna and her team can't have their cake and eat it too, however. They wanted to make a splash and have a big debut, which they got (albeit with some contentious practices). Her team then went to the press to make sure we knew about the accomplishment (largest first week sales in 2012; best first week sales week for her in over a decade). PERHAPS they deserved a little egg on their faces after the 88% drop.

I wonder what % drop is in stock for third week. With or without the giveaways being counted i dont see the album selling much in the long term.
I am a prince fan and when he did the giveaway i thought it was stupid and out of desperation and i hope billboard doesnt allow him to do it agian.

I am guessing it will drop by 50%+ in 3rd week which is almost double the standard drop

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

Ok asg4, we get it. You can stop repeating yourself with every post now. Move on.

[jumpb4uthink]

Let it go asg4. You will feel better.

^ thanks ry4n. :)

Thanks for posting the charts here.

Hard Candy dropped 43% in its third week, so if MDNA drops 50% or so, that's not all that far off from that showing. Of course, HC's weekly total was higher in week three, and both albums will have similar three-week totals when all is said and done, with MDNA likely to fall below HC's pace thereafter.

[ListenToItTwice]

Up All Night will surpass MDNA as the highest-selling studio released in 2012 so far this week

Solid Album!

^Had it not been for Houston's unfortunate passing, we'd have been waiting for some time for the album to crack 12m. Not that it reaching 12m adds much to its already monstrous success.

At this rate, it's still not completely improbable to predict that Confessions and 21 will be passing 10 million on approximately the same week.

Also, this is the first time since Ms. Houston's death that her total album sales have fallen below 50,000 in a single week.

Well, a milestone is a milestone.

[areyoureadytojump]

6.391 million albums were sold in the US last week.

2.229 million were digital albums.

4.162million were physical cds.

But more imporantly (at least for me, lol), where the heck is this long-gestating special edition for Whitney's Whitney album? I mean, it charted for what, one week after her passing? Such a lost opportunity for the fans. Makes no sense. Has anyone heard ANYTHING?

Billboard.biz:

The Billboard 200:

Let's look at some of the movers and shakers farther down the list:

-- Kelly Clarkson: Stronger (26-12; 33,000; up 117%) was one of a number of albums discounted to below $8 last week in the iTunes Store. In turn, it saw a massive overall gain and a 108% life in downloads. Target also got in on the discount action, sale-pricing the set for $7.99.

-- Taylor Swift: The Academy of Country Music Awards (April 1) winner for entertainer of the year is one of many acts on the chart that see gains in the wake of the annual kudocast. Her most recent studio album, Speak Now, is up by 80% and jumps from No. 70 to No. 37.

-- Gavin DeGraw: The singer -- and "Dancing With the Stars" contestant -- performed his Sweeter album's "Soldier" on the series finale of the CW's "One Tree Hill" (April 4). The exposure helps the album net a 134% sales jump this week and it reenters at No. 84 with 6,000.

-- 50 Cent & Nirvana: Both 50 Cent's Get Rich Or Die Tryin' and Nirvana's Nevermind are aided by $3.99 pricing in Amazon MP3's store. 50's album reenters at No. 112 (5,000) up by 117% in overall sales while Nirvana's title jumps by 116% (No. 136 with 4,000).

-- Chris Tomlin: Due to Easter (April 8) and promotions focused around the holiday, many Christian and gospel albums saw increases in sales, like Chris Tomlin's How Great Is Our God: The Essential Collection at No. 121. The set sold 5,000 last week with a 75% gain.

Damn Kelly! :o I really see her ending close to 2 million if she keeps this momentum up.

^If iTunes and other outlets include it as part of the $6.99/$7.99 promo on a regular basis, it just may.
