Here is how Van Halen did this week:

I wonder how Women And Children First and Diver Down did?


Also, some 80s and 70s titles that don't show up often showed up this week:

Then of course there is the Whitney Houston Catalog:

These two catalog titles need to be updated on the list that is on the first page of this thread:

wow, it was like Christmas with all those albums that aren't normally on the list and new numbers.

Nice to see new numbers for VH's 1984, the last numbers before now were from 2006.

[Dane]

Thanks for the numbers!

"Whitney" is the 184th album to make the list on page one. I'm sure in the coming weeks it'll climb a few spots

James Taylor's GH has passed the 7M mark - just the 4th album to do so (after Legend, DSOTM & Journey)

But the big mover this week is Van Halen's 1984 which jumps from #127 to #102 thanks to a new figure (the previous one was almost 6 years old)

I wonder how Women And Children First and Diver Down did?

Yes, glad to see 4 of their old albums on catalog though. Strange that "Best of Vol.1" didn't chart!
Would also like to see an update for "5150", their 3rd 1M+ catalog seller. Not surprised it didn't make it this week though, no David Lee Roth.

Also, some 80s and 70s titles that don't show up often showed up this week:

Bat and Boston have actually been here regularly lately, but nice to see Purple Rain here for the first time since 2010.

Then of course there is the Whitney Houston Catalog:

No "I'm Your Baby Tonight"
I noticed "Whitney" sold 209 copies the previous week - more than both "Whitney Houston" and "Bodyguard" (2nd to GH only)!

I wonder how many "Ultimate Collection" (import) sold in the US. Seemed to do well at Amazon.com

[NothingFails]

Nice to see that the studio albums benefited from Van Halen's new album more than the two GH albums from 1996 and 2004. Usually it seems like once hits albums come along, they cannibalize studio album sales. But those four Van Halen albums are all classics (and its nice to see Fair Warning making the top 200 as it was their poorest selling pre-Cherone album, even though many people believe it might very well be their masterpiece) so its nice to see people are going for those instead of either of their hits packages.

The two versions of the debut are tracked seperately.
Seems hard to believe the deluxe version scanned just 5,000 since release though...

[NothingFails]

does iTunes count purchases of versions off different albums, the way Spotify seems to use different popularity rankings for the exact same song that just might appear on four different albums?

Say 4 million download Don't Stop Believin' off the page of their Greatest Hits album with that icon by it, and another 1 million download it from the Escape (the album it originally appeared on) page, are those sales separated are counted as the same?

that's odd and funny, I've always considered it "Van Halen II" since that's what is typed on the cover and spine.

Yes, its great to see FAIR WARNING on the list. I'm almost sure this is the first time every that FAIR WARNING has charted on a soundscan chart, although someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'm sure this is the first time a soundscan total has been seen for Fair Warning.

In fact, I don't think Fair Warning has been on a Billboard album chart since the early 1980s.

I'm not sure what Van Halens greats album is, although Fair Warning may be it. The first album is also up there.

Yea, the first album is *the* classic in the sense that every track on it is a classic that most rock fans know (as good as the singles on 1984 are, the other tracks were pretty weak), but Fair Warning was perhaps their most kick-ass album, and I liked that it was a darker album compared to the party-heavy music VH is best known for.

Regular catalog chart is all albums, both in physical and digital form, while physical is just actual tangible cd (and sometimes vinyl) copies that you buy in the store.

Actually, I think the other songs on the 1984 album were great! "Top Jimmy", "Drop Dead Legs" and "Girl Gone Bad" were all great songs. The only song that wasn't a stand out was perhaps "House Of Pain".

It's a good album. I actually like House of Pain. More than Top Jimmy and Girl Gone Bad. More than Jump come to think of it. Jump is a classic, but way overrated imo. Panama is easily the best track.

So amazing that all 3 albums were released almost at the same time, spent months in the top 20, have sales of 6 mio.+ and still have constant catalog sales years after their initial releases without any sign of slowing down... Those three albums really made it (along with American Idiot).
