I just love that 30 years into her recording career, we're still comparing Madonna to the latest teen-pop sensation.

It's happened quite a bit already. I'm not sure how there got to be two "josh"s. I thought there would be some software or something that would prohibit someone from registering a name that was already in use, but oh well.

We have different user names, but the same display name. :) I don't know why they don't block the same display names, though.

I think the only person that always opened big is Eminem. We all can say that he is immune. Britney and Usher were declining, but Eminem was very steady. Slim Shady LP and Relapse are the only releases that are debatable if they opened BIG or not. One was his major label debut, the other was after a longer than usual hiatus from him.

610k is big in any era. For 2009 it was huge.

Concert/ticket bundles are just another outlet for people to get an album. If they didn't want it, they would not have redeemed their copy of the album. Some paid nearly $500 for a top ticket, with fees and taxes included. Why wouldn't they want an album from an act that they paid that much to see? It's an opportunity open to all- the thing is, most would not see the kind of results that Madonna's album enjoyed.
I hope Bieber's album tops 400K- a 400K threshold for the top debut if the year would be a good thing.

^Exactly. Not even an argument, just stating some logical rationale. :) I also hope Chesney's album tops 200K. With YTD album sales down, some bright spots would be nice.

Chesney's album falls short of 200K. Dangit.
Can't believe that one record label (the "New Release Schedule") was predicting 700K+ for Bieber's album.
If Usher's album ends up similar with SoundScan numbers, that will be a drop of around 63%. Not bad percentage-wise, but for an Usher studio album (discounting the EP) to fall very short of 200K in its first two weeks is pretty surprising.

That's the first time Adele's been out of the top five since at least November, right?

^Perhaps final SoundScan numbers will have 21 in the top 5. 21 ranked No. 7 on the December 10, 2011 chart.

Surprised by Bieber...the "hype" just seemed much higher. Love how One Direction is seeing an increase. Good job.

So anyone with a ticket redemption promo has fabricated numbers. Pathetic.

^Yes, that must be it. Considering that the same act's previous five SoundScan-era albums opened with sales of 371K, 420K, 241K, 350K and 280K- yes, her new album wouldn't have even approached at least 250K without a ticket/album promo.

Bieber doesn't have as wide of an audience as many who have sold more in opening.

Bierber is expanding his fan base to older people... I think those numbers are great by any point of view. This album will probably be a constant seller like his previous ones.
I don't understand why some people want a kid who is working his butt off to fail... He should be seen as a success story... not as something to hate
Just my opinion
