[musicaddict]

thx!

there were alot of albums at #1 with longetivity in the early 00s..

[allihave]

Thanks so much

[Chromeozone]

It's funny to look back and see things such as a Jennifer Lopez remix album spending a couple weeks at #1 some years back .....


Anyway, to keep track of useful topics, but avoid stickying 10 topics at the top of the forum, I've linked to this and a few other relevant threads in the first post of the "Weekly Soundscan since 1997" thread at the top. This way threads may fall off the first page, but can still be referenced and/or bumped periodically.

[LeonaLewis]

Thanks for that. A very interesting post.

34 25.08.01 394475 394483 Now That's What I Call Music! Vol. 7, Various Artists
36 08.09.01 296375 296388 Now, Maxwell
37 15.09.01 305925 305911 Aaliyah, Aaliyah
38 22.09.01 223175 222038 Toxicity, System Of A Down

47 24.11.01 745750 745744 Britney, Britney Spears
27 06.07.02 380775 380764 The Eminem Show, Eminem

The "Source A" numbers originate from a weekly report by Tamara Conniff in the VNU publication Hollywood Reporter, where she would always quote sales numbers rounded to the nearest 25 units. The "Source B" numbers are the correct ones for these weeks. She now writes for Billboard.

Sometimes, the version of the soundscan listing that gets posted is not the final version, for example…

Chart date 9-2-2006
1 AGUILERA*CHRISTINA BACK TO BASICS 341,988 999 520 342,608

Chart date 9-9-2006
3 AGUILERA*CHRISTINA BACK TO BASICS 135,118 -61 345,518 481,256

The original reported sales for this album were incorrect on the 9/2 chart, the correct number shown on the 9/9 chart

The first posts of the 10-7-2006 were entirely wrong - Soundscan had to re-run the whole thing. The higher number is the correct one for this particular week.

Thank you! i've corrected those figures.

[areyoureadytojump]

Bump for some research...

[areyoureadytojump]

Would anyone like to update?

[popindustrialist]

You start to get a real feel for how different a media promo environment the industry used to operate within.

Back in the early to late 90's, the PR opportunities were Dave Letterman and Jay Leno, Rollingstone and Entertainment Weekly magazines, the Grammy and the AMA's. Etertainment Tonight was it for infotatainment shows, and there coverage of the industry was sparse at best.

That's why you'd get this:

42 21.10.95 224,000 Daydream, Mariah Carey
43 28.10.95 216,000 Daydream, Mariah Carey

She's coming off a Music Box, Fantasy is a huge lead single, and she barely drops from 1st week.

and earlier, the biggest star in the world does this:

50 14.12.91 326,500 Dangerous, Michael Jackson
51 21.12.91 378,000 Dangerous, Michael Jackson

Bounces in his 2nd week!

You'd get this from the Grammy Awards:

11 16.03.96 241,000 Jagged Little Pill, Alanis Morissette
12 23.03.96 251,000 Jagged Little Pill, Alanis Morissette

Morrisette had sold 155 k the week before the grammy's, exploded the week after, and then grew AGAIN 2 weeks out from the show.

This was a new all-time record for female debuts:

47 21.11.98 469,054 Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, Alanis Morissette

So, next time someone tries to pass off a lackluster debut week for a new album by an established act as "well, sales are down", direct them to this thread. 1st weeks today are PR maximized by the overwhealming size, scope and reach of the media. The net allows for instant communication of release dates and allows for acts to go from nobodies to superstars in a matter of weeks. Save for 99-01, on average 1st weeks are bigger than they ever have been, and relative to what the discs end up selling in the end, gigantic.

The first No. 1 in the SS era was Michael Bolton's Time, Love and Tenderness, for the chart dated 5/25/91.
