Interesting to see last years top two still charting thus far on this weeks chart.

[soundUPsceneDOWN]

lol at that many (and more) people buying Bocelli's Christmas album after Christmas.

A lot of places put the Christmas music on sale after Christmas, some at half price. I've purchased some Christmas CD's after Christmas before...you know you're going to use it next year!

Somebody saw a ton of Bocelli in a Wal-Mart and no mark down. Not sure if he's marked down elsewhere, though. I didn't see any Christmas music at my Target. You would think they would mark it down because I'm sure they shipped tons of his CDs, which means a lot left over.

Plus for some of us Christmas isn't over until after Jan. 6. Which is why I'm still on Christmas vacation.

[Tanisha Thomas.]

Dang, that kid Justin Beiber is selling solidly.

[LC3]

You know he really is. That's the big surprise for me right now. Considering the way his singles tend yo rise fast and then disappear at iTunes I expected similar with the album but no he's in the mix. 2010's Swift? Haha

FAME

This is gonna be really close

[popindustrialist]

IMO, the tweens that built Disney2.0 are now teens and their tastes are synergizing with older teens and 20 somethings and it's creating the demand bubble that Gaga and Bieber are feeding.

It's been a long time since we had acts in the mix that didnt need AI or Disney to break them and then internally promote them, bypassing radio and the traditional PR routes that pop fame is constructed through.

So I think Bieber would be an obvious act for longterm sales this year, and his full length release later this year is gonna do something awful like 800 k first week, you guys must smell this coming.

2010 is gonna be all about filthy pop. I feel bad for the r&b acts that are getting mashed up in the transition from r&b to pop, but Mary and Alicia and RiRi had a whole decade to stack plats.

[Legoman]

^
Agree with this but doesnot change my impression of Bieber and Kesha as trash-tastic

[Music Fan]

^^ I'm actually kind of off the "Justin Bieber sucks" train, but no way near the "Just Bieber Stan" train. While I completely still think Kesha is trash.

[Legoman]

^
And you, my friend, a BEP stan, is RIGHTTTTTTTTTT.

Either there is proportionately a whole lot left to report, or HDD is going to be way lower than Billboard's estimates.

[SuperTrouper]

Nice to see Susan Boyle still on top. And by a wide margin too. And they are not even Christmas sales, as some members used them as an excuse to downplay Boyle's success.

[Tanisha Thomas.]

^ and such a logic is dumb considering most of the mainstream artists were barely doing 100k during the Xmas season. Some people are such a fail.

[neally]

WOW @ Susan, Lady Gaga, Taylor (the girl still has three albums in the top 50 :o )

Honorable mention: Lady Antebellum's nearly 2 year old album @ number 22 ! Their new record is going to do so well- can't wait to hear it !

[Justin.]

Gaga gets a new peak!

[Tanisha Thomas.]

Mary's going to have a hard time keeping up without a huge urban hit at least. Alicia won't sell as well with this album as she did with her previous ones, but I see her being a little more consistent than Mary.

[👑 Eloquent ™]

Even if HDD underestimated Boyle a bit, she won't catch up to Swift. Congrats to Taylor for having the best selling album of 2009!

What was the difference between Taylor and Susan prior to this week's reported figures ?
