[#LisaRinna]

That Sade reign just won't let up!

[hitseeker.]

wow @ Ke$ha, it's BBB's efect lol. consistent sales for bieber, it'll reach 1mil. in no time, wonder how his sophomore effort will sell

[countryfan2002]

Lady A and Sade are so close...

[Honeymoon]

I'm assuming only a small percentage of those lower top 50 albums have been reported to HITS so far...

[Enigma.]

WOLFGANG AMADEUS PHOENIX

What the...? AMAZING

[Choco]

I hope GaGa manages to get two top 10 placements this week :) The EP has been selling well despite how the album has been consistently making the top 10 and selling more.

[Caviar]

I was never into Gaga or the hype that surrounded her but I did purchase TFM in Dec. only because it was $5 on Amazon and I'm just now getting into it. I absolutely LOVE "So Happy I Could Die" and "Bad Romance"!! LOL I may check out TF and see what's on there.

[HolidayGuy]

I know the percentages don't mean much right now, but that's some of the lowest tallies near the bottom of the chart we've seen with 50%+ of reports in.

Her album is going to be at 230+k scanned this week. With a successful 3rd single (which should go for adds ASAP) she can scan Gold.

SADE'S TRIPLE PLAY

Lady Antebellum #2, Johnny Cash (#3), Alkaline Trio (#10) Debut

March 2, 2010

The romance between Sade and record buyers continues this week, as the Epic chanteuse’s Soldier of Love spends its third straight week at #1, with another 127k, bringing her total over 800k.


Seven-time ACM nominees Lady Antebellum celebrate the year’s first million-seller in Capitol Nashville’s Need You Now, remaining at #2, with 117k.

The late country legend Johnny Cash’s American VI: Ain’t No Grave, the final Rick Rubin-produced recordings for American/Lost Highway before the legendary music icon's death in 2003, bows at #3 as the week’s top new entry, racking up 50k in sales.

A pair of albums from Interscope’s Jimmy Iovine, Black Eyed Peas’ The E.N.D. (#4) and Lady Gaga’s The Fame Deluxe Edition (#5) round out the Top 5.

Veteran Midwest punk-rock outfit Alkaline Trio’s Epitaph bow, This Addiction, is the only other Top 10 debut at #10.

Cash Money/Universal Motown’s Lil Wayne rap-rock hybrid Rebirth (#6), Kemosabe/ RCA/RMG’s Ke$ha (#14-7, +7%), Columbia’s Susan Boyle (#8) and Big Machine’s Taylor Swift (#9) round out the best-seller list.

Other chart debuts are registered by Sony Music Latin’s Chayanne (#21), Columbia Nashville’s Josh Thompson (#31), Island/IDJ’s Texas emo-rockers The Rocket Summer (#34), Nonesuch’s k.d. lang Starbuck exclusive, Beautifully Combined (#42) and Walt Disney’s Starstruck soundtrack (#47).

Glassnote’s resurgent Phoenix (#32) and Hollywood’s Breaking Benjamin (#43) both re-enter the Top 50.

In addition to Ke$ha, SRC/Universal Motown’s Melanie Fiona (#33-24, +2%) and Star Trak/Interscope’s Robin Thicke (#36-27, +2%) are the additional two acts showing upward mobility.

Hitting retail this week are Beluga Heights/Warner Bros.’ Jason Derulo, WB Nashville’s Blake Shelton, Disney Records’ Almost Alice companion piece to the movie, Geffen’s Lifehouse, 19/RCA’s Danny Gokey, Experience Music/Legacy’s Jimi Hendrix and Real World/EMI’s Peter Gabriel.

[Tanisha Thomas.]

Will Sade and Lady A battle it out again for #1 or will Jason Derulo contend for #1?

[Creme de la Creme]

Yes it will be interesting next week to see if Jason Derulo can have a smash hit album riding on the success of his 2 first singles.

[Gravity.]

Possibly Lifehouse could be competing too.

[Honeymoon]

My own predictions (based on my own guessing) for next week

Sade 95-100k
Lady A 90-95k
Jason DeRulo 70-80k
Lifehouse 55-65k

I hope (whether it be Sade, Lady A, DeRulo...) that the #1 ticks over 100k next week.

[Tanisha Thomas.]

^ Yeah, I can totally see those happening.

[wavey.]

Jason DeRulo may have a Kesha debut. But I could be wrong.

Yea, seeing how Jay Sean did, I don't know how Jason DeRulo will do since they're similar (Iyaz's in that same boat)

[Tanisha Thomas.]

I agree with musicrocks.

I think Jason Derulo will be in the same boat as Jay Sean but may do slightly better. I don't know. We'll see if Derulo is one of those digital/radio artists as opposed to an album artist.

[Deleted]

Congrats Sade/Lady A!
I'm shocked Sade is doing so well...They(she)is soon going to pass Whitney, and has already passed Maxwell's numbers in 3 weeks(and Mary J's)..

And Taylor still top 10, amazing :)

Maxwell has sold 1 million units. Sade hasn't passed him yet, but they will very soon.

[cartman2002]

This week albums #1, #2, #4, #5 & #6 sold more copies than the albums that were in those positions last year.

[Legoman]

Congarts to Sade and Lady A, amazing sales!
