Billboard said last week that after Madonna debuted at #1 with the album/concert ticket bundle, 3 major artists contacted Billboard about the album/ticket bundles because they were interested in doing it as well.

Speaking of albums with big drops, that Hoodie Allen release dropped 86% in its second week last week, dropping 10-119- and it's off the chart this week. But, naturally, there has not been a heckuva lot of discussion about that one. :) LOL - equal time for Hoodie Allen, come on |

My guess is clarification on the rules to see if they could do it too. Extra week 1 exposure obviously

I was glad to see Carole King's "Legendary Demos" not befall the same fate as "The Essential Carole King." Thankfully, it was able to sell a couple thousand copies to chart in the top 60. It's a really interesting album. And...
183 RE-ENTRY 308 Tapestry, Carole King (Diamond Certification) 10 110
When "21" is 40+ years old, I have a feeling it will still be hanging around the lower reaches of the chart.

Madonna's first three albums pop up on the 5/12 Catalog 200 chart- No. 56 (Like a Virgin; 2,300 units); No. 95 (True Blue, 1,977 units) and No. 139 (Madonna; 1,652 units). The three albums rank Nos. 19, 17 and 41 on Catalog Digital Albums, but they also look to have enjoyed a physical sales boost, too: LAV did 975 in physical sales; True Blue did 487 and Madonna did 619- all sales way higher than they had been.
As for the concert/album redemptions- not all acts would see the kind of success MDNA enjoyed, but it is a nice alternative to the traditional way of selling albums (giving consumers the option to redeem copies for something whose price already was worked into the price of a concert ticket).

Observations about my faves: Florence's 'Lungs' is wonderfully close to the million mark. The gap between 'Recovery' and 'Speak Now' is 169,635. I guess my prediction of the latter surpassing the former may not actually come true. Greg Laswell debuts with a measly 4k and change. Bummer. The highest-ranking album that's had a longer chart than 21 (62 weeks) is 19 (69 consecutive weeks). The highest-ranking album that's had a longer (CONSECUTIVE) run than 19 is Teenage Dream (88 weeks). Below that is Brothers (101 weeks), and then Sigh No More (110 weeks), followed by Fearless (181). Not a bad group at all.  I'm looking forward, as always, to 2m's update of the 2012 YTD winners. |

Thanks a lot for posting the charts :)
I'm glad PP is still holding so well, considering that Pitbull already moved on with Back in time, but I guess the success of Back in time is helping PP.

Thanks for relaying the numbers.
The #100 album on the Billboard 200 is barely selling over the 4k mark, has it ever been that low before? I remember it rarely if ever going below 4.5k before (usually above 5k).

Madonna is flopping so hard. We all know about it so don't need to mention it anymore. |

Charts: Jack White Tops The Charts, One Direction, The Wanted
May 03, 2012 | By Keith Caulfield
Jack White visits the No. 1 slot on the Billboard 200 for the first time, as his debut solo album, "Blunderbuss," arrives with 138,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It's the rocker's first No. 1 -he missed the top with his other bands the White Stripes, the Raconteurs and the Dead Weather. (However, they collectively notched seven top 10 sets.)
The highest chart peak of any of those bands' releases was the White Stripes' 2007 album, "Icky Thump," which bowed and peaked at No. 2 with a first week of 223,000. (It was stuck behind Bon Jovi's No. 1-debuting "Lost Highway," with 292,000.)
Glad They Came: The Wanted's self-titled U.S. debut bows at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 with 34,000, putting two male pop vocal groups in the top 10 for the first time in what seems like ages. Fellow British pop group One Direction sits at No. 4 with "Up All Night" (50,000; down 9%).
The Wanted (released only in North America) is a compilation of singles from the vocal group's two previous studio albums, along with a pair of newly recorded songs. The act's two earlier studio sets (a self-titled 2010 effort and 2011's "Battleground") were released outside of North America. The Wanted's first worldwide studio album is due this fall.
Similar But Different: Because the Wanted and One Direction are both male pop quintets from the United Kingdom, there are bound to be comparisons between the two.
It's a bit unfair, though. The acts court different fan bases, with One Direction skewing younger than the Wanted. Also, each took a different road to the top 10 in terms of marketing and promotion.
Here's a look at their differences, at least in terms of demographic appeal:
One Direction seems focused on the preteen and tween set thanks to its youth (ages 18-20) and adorable looks. The act has even partnered with Nickelodeon to develop a TV show. Also: The members' wardrobe is bright, colorful, tailored, fitted and presentable.
One Direction's label, Columbia, was intent on promoting the group as a phenomenon to young, social media-savvy girls who were already familiar with the act through Tumblr and Twitter thanks to its formation on U.K. talent show "The X Factor."
As for the members of the Wanted (ages 19-23), their imaging is grown-up, dark and scruffy. Just compare a few publicity photos of the two group -the contrast is enormous. Further, the act appeared on the very adult "Chelsea Lately" show and agreed with the host that they are the "anti-Jonas Brothers."
Also amplifying the Wanted's implied badassery: After a performance on NBC's "The Voice," the group dissed "Voice" coach Christina Aguilera. The Wanted's Tom Parker said Aguilera was "a total bitch" on the set, while fellow member Siva Kaneswaran noted that "she was quite rude."
As for promotion: One Direction is being promoted as an "albums act" where fans are buying into the experience of -and investing in -the group. On the other hand, the Wanted comes across as a singles-driven act. (Its "Glad You Came" is the year's fifth-biggest-selling download in the United States, with 2.2 million sold, and hit No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.)
Columbia drove fans to preorder One Direction's album early on (last November), before a single went to radio. The concept focused on generating excitement about the album itself and really, just getting the act to come to the United States.
The rest of the story: Pandemonium at shopping malls throughout the Northeast, parents losing their hearing from screaming children, etc.
One Direction's "Up All Night" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 seven weeks ago with 176,000 and became the first U.K. group to bow atop the chart with a debut release. It also crosses the half-million sales mark this week, as its total climbs to 541,000. It's the fifth-best-selling album so far this year in the United States.
Unlike One Direction, the Wanted initially appeared focused on breaking a hit single, not an album. (The Wanted's April 24 release wasn't announced until March 5, whereas One Direction's set was available for preorder on Nov. 29, 2011 -nearly four months before it hit retail on March 13.)
The Wanted went straight to top 40 radio in January, armed with a slice of great pop: the double-entendre hit "Glad You Came." Soon after the group made its U.S. TV debut on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" (Jan. 10), the song entered the Mainstream Top 40 chart on Jan. 28. One Direction, on the other hand, didn't hit the Top 40 tally until nearly two months later (March 17) with "What Makes You Beautiful." That was only two weeks before "Up All Night" entered at No. 1.

I am a subscriber and am locked out of it, but you can read it in the 5/5 print edition. It is the 'Over The Counter' article Highlights from that article : Fun Facts and Feats of the Soundscan Era:Biggest sales week at #1: No Strings Attached - N Sync 2.4 million --- was #1 for 8 weeks and spent its first 26 weeks in excess of 100,000 Smallest sales week at #1: Mission Bell - Amos Lee 40,000, ended up with 193K sold and spending only 14 weeks on the chart Largest positional fall from #1 on the Billboard 200 -- LIght Grenades by Incubus (1-36). Mission Bell fared well here too falling from 1 to 26. Since 1991 6 albums have tumbled out of the top 20 from #1, four have occurred since 2011 Largest selling #1 album: Metallica 15.8 million. 282 weeks on the Billboard 200, 281 of those consecutive - this number would be much higher if not for the catalog rules. A Jan 11 1997 rule change requiring an album over 2 years old and charting below #100 to be moved to catalog bumped this album off the chart. It would get week 282 as a re-entry in 2011 (after catalog rules were lifted) Lowest selling #1 album overall on the BB200 (through the end of 2010) Live on the Inside - Sugarland 268,000 overall Note: not a true #1 since Michael Jackson's 'Numbers Ones' outsold it the week it was #1 For true #1's the lowest selling #1 album is: Glee: The Power of Madonna with 307K overall Best selling album that never reached #1: Come On Over - Shania Twain (15.2 million) was #2 behind Harlem World by Mase and Higher Ground by Barbra Streisand Come On Over is one of 2 albums in the all-time top 10 to never hit #1 - the other being Legend by Bob Marley (which peaked at #54 in its initial chart run and #26 after catalog rules were lifted) # of acts to sell more than 20 million - 69leading the list (top 3) Garth Brooks - 68.6 million Beatles 63.5 million Mariah Carey 53.7 million |

I think Glitter was more notorious of a flop but I'd say Bionic is more of an actual commercial failure as it doesn't contain any hits.

Madonna's first three albums pop up on the 5/12 Catalog 200 chart- No. 56 ( Like a Virgin; 2,300 units); No. 95 ( True Blue, 1,977 units) and No. 139 ( Madonna; 1,652 units). The three albums rank Nos. 19, 17 and 41 on Catalog Digital Albums, but they also look to have enjoyed a physical sales boost, too: LAV did 975 in physical sales; True Blue did 487 and Madonna did 619- all sales way higher than they had been. As for the concert/album redemptions- not all acts would see the kind of success MDNA enjoyed, but it is a nice alternative to the traditional way of selling albums (giving consumers the option to redeem copies for something whose price already was worked into the price of a concert ticket). Were the Madonna albums on sale? |
