Thank God Bublé is #1. I can't stand Kiss.
And yeah, very good for Streisand! Biggest-selling non-debut this week.

Paramore = :roll:

Yes, amazing result again ! He is this week easily above the 1 million mark with around 1,06 million !
do you think he will past eminem sales before December?

Eminem is now around 1,47 million, so yes : the difference of ~400k will be easy for Jay-Z, in particular with his enormous singles ! :wink:

I was kinda hoping KISS could finally pull off a #1 after 35 years, but of course, it'd be a joke if they could hit #1 now and not in the 1970's.

Neil Diamond did it in the year 2008 and not in the 70s.Moreover He not only had his first ever US number one but also his first UK number one studio album.

In any case, Wal-Mart is really the better "label" for resurect the old artists for a true recovery !

Wal-Mart is perhaps a bad chain in general, but for music his model is very impressive ! 8-)

You are very right Vanacoring.Wal-Mart is really the better "label" for resurect the old artists

Startbucks did also well with Macca a couple of years ago.

Yes it's true, but Starbucks has not the incredible power of Wal-Mart unfortunately. I think the other enormous chain of the world, Carrefour, could be the same think in Europe, at least in France, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Portugal.

I'm so glad Michael Bublé is #1 this week.

Exactly!! That's what I hope for, I love "new" record. Jay'z is new, Eminem is old.

thanks for the info

KISS sucks and are even gayer than Michael Buble. I'm glad that the worst band in history didn't hit #1, and Gene Simmons sucks ass.

But Michael Bublé will be soon a legend ! :lol:

Bublé succeding Streisand sound to me more natural than Kiss succeding her. :lol:

WMG WILL SHOOT THE MOON OR CRACK THE BUBBLY
Crooner and Soundtrack Will Vie for #1 Next Week

October 14, 2009

One thing’s for certain. WMG will have the #1 album on next week’s HITS sales chart.

The identity of that release is what’s in doubt.

That’s because Reprise crooner Michael Buble, in his first full week in stores, will hold steady from last week’s 140k in sales, and might even see a slight uptick for his album Crazy Love. Could he be, like another WMG artist, Josh Groban, a few years back, Q4’s hidden weapon?

That little bit of wisdom comes from one-day sales reports provided by those retailers who still know where the music section of their store is.

We won’t know how well music supe superstar Alexandra Patsavas’ Chop Shop/Atlantic soundtrack The Twilight Saga: New Moon will do since it doesn’t hit until Friday (10/16), and with the movie not yet in release, there’s no telling if it can top Buble, but look for a two-horse race between heartthrob singer and vampire.

There’s nothing much to write home about among the other new releases, which include J/RMG’s Mario, Warner Bros.’ Flaming Lips and Reprise’s Dead by Sunrise, all in the 20-25k range. Next up is a pair of unlikely matched holiday albums in Jive/JLG’s David Archuleta (18-21k) and Bob Dylan (15-18k), with Columbia’s Five for Fighting also on tap (12-15k).

The market was down 9% vs. last week, down 2% vs. same week last year and now down 13% year to date.

You may now go back to stocking your fully customized KISS underground fallout shelter with leather Gene Simmons oxygen tanks and canned Paul Stanley sardines.

by **carlos06** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 9:56 pm

I was pretty sure that Dylan was about to be #1 next week. :lol:
