HDD predictions: RCA Nashville country singer-songwriter Sara Evans’ Stronger and Ice H20/EMI rapper Raekwon’s Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang, are both looking at between 40-45k in first-week sales.That's not too bad, I suppose.....considering that she hasn't had a new studio album in.....5 years, I believe? I can live with 40k. I think what'll make an impact on album sales is the quality of her 2nd single. I think it's going to make or break this album.

The final HDD estimates are a bit higher for Sara.... they've got her at just under 55,000 for the week.
I think that's a decent start. The key will be how fast it drops. If it's under 10k/week 4-5 weeks from now, it probably won't sell more than 200-225k units unless a subsequent single triggers a sales boost.

You can read it here: www.roughstock.com/blog/sara-evans-scores-a-stronger-than-expected-sales-debut SoundScan (I.E. Billboard) 55,124. And the single was certified Gold this week so she's over 500k on that.

Does anyone know the sales for Gretchen Wilson's 'I Got Your Country Right Here'? I'd like to know this as well. The last figure I have is 43,309 copies sold as of June 6, 2010.

Gretchen = 62,233 as of the 2/20/11 chart. She's dropped off since then. Probably right around 65,000 now.

^I'd say that that's actually not too bad for her, considering she's had only one top 20 hit off the album, and she's on her own label.

Josh Kelley only sold 6,000 copies Ouch!! :( I'm not the biggest fan of "Georgia Clay", but I do like Josh's voice and several of the songs on there are pretty good. Hopefully he can make a career in country yet...and hopefully opening for Taylor this summer for a few shows will help too.

Didn't expect big things from his album release, but that is a lot lower than I anticipated. Haven't listened to his album yet, although my mom has purchased it. Not sure how I'm going to like it yet... but I can say that he's got a decent enough voice. Not a fan of "Georgia Clay" though... its one of those very "meh" / bland songs for me.

Josh Kelley only sold 6,000 copies That was to be expected. He was never a sales draw to begin with as an Adult Top 40 artist with any of his five releases (not once did he chart the Top 100 of the Billboard 200 of any studio release) preceding the beginning of his country music career. Having a familial blood connection to Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum doesn't guarantee you a solid crossover career. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

wow I expected a bit more from Josh, the album is interesting, and "Georgia Clay" is easily my least favorite.

Couple of big sales marks reached this week for country females...
Taylor Swift's self-titled album crossed the 5,000,000 mark (5,000,092) and Miranda Lambert's "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" crossed 1,000,000 (1,000,976).
All three of Miranda's albums have now sold over 1,000,000 each.
Carrie's "Play On" should cross 2,000,000 sold in about a month and a half. It's inching its way there.

Carrie is about 10K away so 2-3 weeks is more likely.

Just out of curiosity in light of recent success, does anyone know a total sales figure on Chris Young's "The Man I Want To Be" album?

I know there's been talking of it nearing gold status for quite a while so that's why I was curious about the number.

I think RCA should get off their butts and get The Man I Want To Be certified gold. That would enhance the prestige Chris Young's career is at the moment.

I'm curious as to how many units Jason Aldean's "Relentless" has shifted.
I've heard mild mixed messages of sorts suggesting, since last September or so, that Aldean was so potent commercially to the point consumers were picking through his back catalog like scabs, and that "Relentless" was actually closing in on Platinum status. Yet, I saw no physical evidence confirming that, as it is still listed as a Gold release, and press releases acknowledging the Platinum certification of "My Kinda Party" have mentioned that it is his third million-selling record.
Is "Relentless" actually in the vicinity of one million in total sales?
Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

Broken Bow should definitely get Relentless certified platinum at this time.

I found where it had sold 796,000 as of the end of 2010. So it's probably in the 810-820k range now. Doubt it's selling more than 1,000 units a week.
Wide Open and Jason Aldean have both sold 1,412,000 copies each as of last week. Wide Open is still selling around 3,000/week and the self-titled around 1,500.
