HDD has predicted that it will sell between 100-125k it's first week. IMO, that pretty low because they are promoting this soundtrack first rate having had the premiere this week in conjunction with the release of the soundtrack. Not to mention it is getting great reviews and it is packed with Grammy winners, Oscar winners, the best idol contestant and singer ever. This is christmas time so I would think this power packed soundtrack would have sold at least 225K with all the Oscar buzz over the singers.

Like someone said, people will pick this up after the movie, not before really.

Jennifer's "And I am Telling You I'm Not Going #111 on itunes. That's cool. Is that good? I guess it is...hopefully it will climb Well, it's a start. Considering it has been available for sometime now (about 36 hours). But as many of the others have said, the sales for the songs on iTunes and the CD soundtrack sales will pickup after the movie is in theaters.

I got an email from iTunes saying that both versions were available online...although I only could fine the shortened version...on the deluxe itunes version can you buy the remixes individually or do you have to purchase the entire album?

I haven't seen the Deluxe version on there yet. Maybe they haven't updated the whole thing yet and it'll be up later.

I think the soundtrack will sell over 150k this week. It should go Platinum.

This album will be huge based on all the buzz for the movie. Both "Listen" & "And I Am Telling You I"m Not Going" will be big hits. I wouldn't be shocked if this album sells 4 or 5 million copies when all is said and done.

She's #93 on the overall chart? Where does that put her on the R & B chart?
I really do think she's the best power singer ever to hit the AI stage and that includes everyone who's able to glory note. Not joking there....she won't become president though, but that other stuff, it'll likely happen.

Wow- have you seen this? She's on the front page of Yahoo! She's on the front page of the Drudge Report- I don't like this focus on her upstaging the others though- I think it is annoying Beyonce and perhaps the others- they seem to really like her in all the interviews, but this might cause waves- I'm just glad the film is finished and done with before she got all this press!

this from fox news:
Beyonce Puts Her Money Where Her Mouth Is
I can’t pretend to understand how record companies operate. Here’s an interesting story I was told at the premiere of "Dreamgirls" on Monday night. It’s straight from the horse’s mouth, as they used to say.
“I’m spending my own money to make two more videos from my album.” That’s the word from Beyonce Knowles, the singing and now acting sensation who — believe me — holds her own very nicely in "Dreamgirls" as a Diana Ross-like character.
We were discussing the great song in "Dreamgirls" that was written for Beyonce — “Listen” — which should put her right on the performing stage at next February’s Oscars.
“Listen” is on Beyonce’s “B'Day" album as a bonus track, but you know, it’s going to be a hit when Sony releases it as a single to follow up her “Irreplaceable.”
But Beyonce has dreams beyond those two singles since the first two from "B'Day" failed. So she’s going to finance videos, she says, for two dance numbers from the album. Neither of the titles she mentioned though was “Green Light,” the track that should be a single.
As I told you yesterday, Beyonce was whisking boyfriend Jay-Z off for a birthday celebration Monday night. It was preplanned, so she missed the "Dreamgirls" parties.
Don’t worry; she’ll be at the one in Hollywood next week where she’ll meet real Supreme Mary Wilson, whose life inspired this movie. Mary is working for “Extra” as a correspondent, then going to the premiere and party as a VIP guest of Paramount Pictures.
And why not? Without Mary’s telling of the Supremes story — particularly Florence Ballard, who was fired and died in poverty and despair — there would be no "Dreamgirls" movie or musical.
But just wait 'til the clamoring press meets Ms. Wilson! She is the most beautiful, articulate, humble and knowledgeable Supreme, a real boon to the "Dreamgirls" publicity machine. Expect to see her front and center right through the Oscars.
(If you want to know the real story of what happened to the Supremes and Motown, get Mary’s book "Dreamgirl and Supreme Faith: My Life as a Supreme" and Gerri Hirshey’s informative "Nowhere to Run: The Story of Soul Music.")
As for Beyonce, don’t believe those stories you’ll read in the tabs about bad blood between her and the other "Dreamgirls," or that Knowles isn’t a “star” in her own movie.
While Jennifer Hudson certainly has the showier role, Beyonce is a knockout in this movie. All four of the principals — including Jamie Foxx and Eddie Murphy — are going to be “overnight sensations” when the film opens in limited release on Dec. 15.
P.S. If Supremes/"Dreamgirls" fans are interested, they can buy "The Supreme Florence Ballard" as an import CD from Amazon.com. It’s worth it. Ballard, like fictional Effie in the movie, could have been a superstar.

So what were the other two videos Beyonce was talking about? Im guessing they will be Upgrade U and Get Me Bodied. Im just glad it wasnt Green Light!
How was Listen treated? Did she pay for that too or was it seen as a song from the soundtrack and not her album?

I don't think she hates gays or anything. I think she made a valid point... everyone sins, and if being gay is a sin, then so what?
I don't think she said anything malicious in any way at all.

From Jennifer's official website:""In a recent interview, I was asked how I reconciled being a Christian with performing at events for my gay fans. I find it upsetting that some folks equate being a Christian with being intolerant of gay people. That may, unfortunately, be true for some, but it is not true for me. I have talked often of my love and support of the gay community. I have said again and again that it was the gay community that supported me long before and long after AMERICAN IDOL, and kept me working and motivated. It is the gay community that celebrated my voice and my size and my personality long before DREAMGIRLS. Yes, I was raised Baptist. Yes, I was taught that the Bible has certain views on homosexuality. The Bible also teaches us not to judge. It teaches us to love one another as God loves us all. I love my sister, my two best friends and my director dearly. They happen to be gay. So what? While some search for controversy, I hope that my friends and fans who know me, know where I stand." -Jhud www.jenniferhudsononline.com/blog.php

That's quick damage control! Well I have no reason to doubt her...reporters do have a tendency to twist words and make things seem what they aren't. I'm sure that's the case here...I'm not going NOT see Dreamgirls or something because of something like this.

Dreamgirls can get a nom. for the oscar of best song with one of these 3 songs: Listen - Beyonce Love you i do - Jennifer hudson Patience - Henry Krieger Would be funny see jennifer's song be nominated... Well the Academy probably wouldn't choose more than one for this movie, right? Unless the pickings are real slim this year...I'm guessing Listen will be the only one nominated if any.
