i think the total sales or this week's sales of albums between #21 and #50 are incorrect

I checked buble's and nickelback's numbers and both seem to be mistaken

Excuse me?


37 WAR 28 38 33 * BUBLE*MICHAEL CRAZY LOVE 12,898 14 11,319 1,708,299
83 ROAD 32 40 34 * NICKELBACK DARK HORSE 12,643 14 11,090 2,813,744


What's the problem of these numbers for you?

last week numbers

38 BUBLE*MICHAEL CRAZY LOVE 11,179 11,753 -5 1,695,261
40 NICKELBACK DARK HORSE 10,995 11,181 -2 2,801,006

1,695,261+12,898=1,708,159 and not 1,708,299

2,801,006+12,643=2,813,649 and definitely not 2,813,744

THAT'S THE PROBLEM, and i'm afraid all the numbers between #21-#50 are incorrect but i don't have the time to check them all

^SoundScan makes weekly adjustments. The weekly numbers never add up to the SoundScan total.

Returns, errors...

Plus, SoundScan re-ran the charts last week due to late sales info. Last week's numbers that we received were not the final chart.

Sales in general are low, but when I look at specific artists that I care about, I see that they're actually selling as usual for example: BEP are close to 3M, which is the average for them. Nickelback, in spite of not having a huge hit this era, almost gonna reach their minimum sales bar - the 3XP. Carrie Underwood hasn't really had a hit as far as I can tell this era, yet she's gonna reach that 2XP status. I think that as long as the quality is ensured - people will buy albums.

Carrie's had 2 #1 country smashes, and Undo It will do the same ??? How's that no hits? lol...She countinues to do great with both singles and albums.

Great for Drake....ouch for XTina, such a shame.

Now can Eminem get some certifications. damn.

[flamez]

Didn't one of Eminem's albums sell over 10 mil in the U.S.? I wonder why they won't certify it.

Both "The Marshall Mathers" and "The Eminem Show" should have been certified diamond already. Not sure why Interscope won't do it, my guess is because it costs money to do so.

[slicknickshady]

Interscope is cheap thats why. I'm sure if Eminem cared they would have it done. It just doesnt seem like something he cares about.
