Didn't mean to sound rude, sorry about that

by **Lehmann** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 5:15 pm

C'mon, even Mac Miller started with 140k. Big K.R.I.T. is more popular so he should outsell him 8-)

He's No. 1 on iTunes right now.. Album is really DOPE, I agree.

I don't think KRIT is (nearly) as popular as Mac Miller - can you please give me some sources on that?

Regardless, Miller's sales were a bit frontloaded, he will struggle to surpass 400k with that album.

Do you really think KRIT will pull off more than 150 or 200k? That would be huge coming off mixtapes and in this market...

LOOK WHO'S BACK ON TOP

Adele Returns to #1 thanks to NBC Special; Alan Jackson, Beach Boys, Curren$y, Big K.R.I.T. Bow

June 6, 2012

With the impact of her NBC special this past Sunday now clear, it looks as though Adele will score another week at #1, her 24th, tying the record for fourth longest run on top of the album charts with the Purple Rain and Saturday Night Fever soundtracks. West Side Story holds the record for most weeks at #1 with 54, with Michael Jackson's Thriller #2 at 37 weeks. Tied for third place are Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, Harry Belafonte's Calypso and South Pacific, all with 31 weeks.

Alan Jackson's 30 Miles West, his Capitol Nashville/EMI bow after many years with Arista Nashville, looks to be the top-charting debut, with between 65-70k, based on one-day reports from whatever retailers haven't paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

The Beach Boys' Capitol/EMI comeback, That's Why God Made the Radio, is the next highest new entry with 60-65k.

Warner Bros. rapper Curren$y's The Stoned Immaculate, featuring Wiz Khalifa, Wale, 2 Chainz and Big K.R.I.T., remarkably, his eighth album since 2009, is on target for 40-45k, the same amount for Def Jam/IDJ hip-hop artist Big K.R.I.T.'s highly anticipated debut, Live from the Underground.

Columbia singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile's Bear Creek looks to be in the 25-30k range, the same as Reprise legend Neil Young & Crazy Horse's collection of folk standards like "Oh! Susanna" and "This Land Is Your Land," Americana.

Fantasy/Concord Music Group's Joe Walsh is looking at sales between 19-22k for his solo effort, Analog Man.

WaterTower's soundtrack for the upcoming '80s hair-metal homage, Rock of Ages, starring Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand, is eyeing between 12-15k, the same total predicted for Columbia's Victorious, the cast album from the hit Nickelodeon series.

OK I keep doing my estimations just for the German Albums Chart because apparently some of my US estimations were fake as crazy :lol:

.

Great that Adele could get another week at No. 1

.
Overall low sales but this was expected somehow...

my last.fm · by **skycycle** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 7:23 pm

So far I'm on track that Currensy and K.R.I.T. will have similar debuts - bigger than my initial predictions, yet smaller than what other people think

I think K.R.I.T. might just outshoot Currensy, especially since he is #1 on iTunes and the album is getting crazy word of mouth.

I thought KRIT was gonna debut with 40-45k, while Curren$y 25-35k...Fortunately, they can both outsell my prediction...I think KRIT can end up selling 45-65k, because it's n. 1 on iTunes and has got 5/5 on avarage reviews...Curren$y might end up sellin 50k, which is almost 2 times my initial prediction.

This is gonna be a good week for hip-hop 8-)

Good news if true.

* pedantic point *

It will tie the record for sixth longest run at the top. It can't be the 4th longest-running No 1 if there are five albums ahead of it.

by **NothingFails** » Wed Jun 06, 2012 9:32 pm

If it returns to #1, it will have the longest run between first and last week at #1 since it debuted in March 2011. The record before was Thriller which was #1 which first hit #1 on Feb 26, 1983 and last on April 14, 1984.

Actually, no. The RUN itself, i.e. the amount of weeks on top, is what counts here, not the amount of albums above it, right? So it will still be tied for fourth place, since it will have the fourth-highest number of weeks on the top.

Since some of those albums share the same amount of weeks at the top, that number counts as one and the same run.

Sorry to disagree but that's not how it works mathematically. It would go:

1st. West Side Story 54 wks
2nd. Thriller 37 wks
3rd equal Calypso 31 wks
3rd equal South Pacific 31 wks
3rd equal Rumours 31 wks
6th equal 21 24 wks
6th equal Purple Rain 24 wks
6th equal Saturday Night Fever 24 wks

You could say "there have only been three discrete values of weeks which an album has spent longer at the top (54, 37 and 31)" but not that it's the 4th longest running No 1 album.

Anyway this is way off topic and actually, quite boring.

Adele should land her 24th non-consecutive week at #1, though she will be pressed by Country star Alan Jackson’s Capitol Nashville debut, while nearly half of the Top 15 is made up of new releases. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

Adele (XL/Columbia) 73-78k
*Alan Jackson (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 68-73k
*Beach Boys (Capitol/EMI) 60-65k

John Mayer (Columbia) 40-45k
*Curren$y (Warner Bros.) 40-45k
One Direction (Syco/Columbia) 40-45k
*Neil Young & Crazy Horse (Reprise) 28-32k
Carrie Underwood (19/Arista Nashville) 27-30k
*Brandi Carlile (Columbia) 27-30k
Now 42 (Capitol/EMI) 24-27k
Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville/EMI) 21-24k
Lionel Richie (Mercury Nashville) 19-22k
*Joe Walsh (Fantasy) 19-22k
Gotye (Fairfax/Universal Republic) 18-21k

*Debuts (6/7p)

Wow, I knew Beach Boys would do well being their first album with Brian Wilson (and all surviving members) in 30 years, but #3 is their highest ranked studio album since 1965! (Endless Summer hit #1 in 1974 but was a Greatest Hits album). This is their first "new" album since 1976 to even make the top 40 in the US (last years' Smile Sessions was a long-awaited unearthing of an album they worked on in 1967 that got abandoned).

by **tada** » Fri Jun 08, 2012 4:26 am

great Carrie remains inside Top 10. Hopefully, the week after next she will go up once again on position basis

by **jszmiles** » Fri Jun 08, 2012 6:45 am

I am so surprised Gotye is doing THAT good in the album chart. He's one hit wonder to date but his album is still selling well

Yes, it's a great achievement for them, plus the album is good!

He has a song with almost 200 million impressions, to sell ~20k in a week is quite poor imo.

He has one hit and he's a newcomer for mainstream audience. I think his album is doing more than ok for now.
