BIEBER COMES JUSTIN TIME
Bieber’s 10-Track My World 2.0 Will Conquer HITS Chart with 225-250k, Monica a Strong #2
March 24, 2010
Leave it to Bieber.
Island/IDJ teen phenom Justin Bieber’s My World 2.0, the 10-track follow-up to his still Top 10 album, will top next week’s HITS Album Sales chart with between 225-250k, which is over 100k more than his debut last November, now over 1 million.
That’s based on one-day sales reports from those retailers who have completed perfect NCAA brackets through two rounds.
The industry at large hopes the album—which is selling from between $6.98 at Amazon, $6.99 at Target and $9.99 at iTunes, including some digital bells and whistles—will be the start of a trend where artists release less tracks at more frequent intervals.
J/RMG’s Monica is Still Standing, with the proof in projected sales of 165-190k for her new album, fueled by the hit Rhythm single, “Everything to Me.”
Capitol/EMI’s Now 33 will debut with an impressive 135-140k, which represents a whopping 35% increase over Now 32’s first week, and maybe signs the long-running franchise is getting an improbable second wind in the download era. Or not as the case may be.
Merge’s She and Him, the pairing of singer-songwriter M. Ward and indie film heartthrob Zooey Deschanel, is picking up steam at Amazon, with a total n ow climbing between 40-50k, same range as Broken Bells.
German heavy metal gods The Scorpions’ announced final album, Sting in the Tail, will bow with 18-22k for UMe.
The market was down 7% vs. last week, down 8% vs. same week last year and still down 8% year to date. You may now return to getting tickled by not-so-honorable Congressman Eric Massa.

So are they saying that Broken Bells are gonna do another 40-50k this week or are they merely comparing She and Him's first week sales to theirs?

Oh, my.
I wonder how Esmee Denters feels about having been labelled the possible first Youtube breakout and now she's nowhere while this kid looks to be good for 2 platinum albums and 6 and counting T40 songs. At least JoBros/Miley don't look 10 and have some catchy songs.

What are Monica's first week sales for her past few albums? Her last album debuted @ #8 with 89k sold. After The Storm debuted @ #1 in 2003 with about 181k sold. I'm not sure what her other two albums did, but they were both slow growers. |

yeah Monica's numbers are awesome-- even if she doesn't outsell ATS, the overall industry was a lot bigger in 2003 than it is now, so it's fair to say this album is debuting bigger than both of her last two.
I really do think the trend of more frequent, smaller albums is going to happen. It's all about songs and singles now. Bieber's is explicitly set up that way, and Monica's album of just 10 tracks plus one bonus song is basically the same thing.

I read that Monica's album was undershipped. She could have possibly been #1 or at least very very close to Justin Bieber. Still great numbers!

I didn't even know Monica HAD a new album or single. :O
Ever since R&R folded, I haven't bothered to check out the other charts other than Pop and Hot AC so I feel like I'm missing out.

And you call yourself an admin  Congrats to Mo!! LJ is still a loser to me. What a fool he is asking fans on twitter to tell him what stores are sold out. Hello, do your job and that wouldn't happen  |

Monica might benefit from more shipments and the Usher/Erykah Badu releases next week. Her sales may stay consistent next week.

I was honestly expecting like 400k for Bieber Baby was big, but not THAT big, and female teenagers can only get you so far. |
