WEEK 11

albums selling over 1,000,000 - this year - 1 / last year - 0

albums selling over 250,000 - this year - 10 / last year - 15
albums selling over 100,000 - this year - 53 / last year - 58
total albums sales - this year - 66.21m (+2.3%) / last year - 64.72m

Now 41 becomes the first 2012 release to sell over half a million this week - it's well ahead of where Now 37, the equivalent 2011 release was this time last year. Bruce Springsteen's "Wrecking Ball" moves into the top 10, up 6 places. That takes the number of 2012 releases in the top 10 to 4, level with the number of 2011 released albums.

One Direction's "Up All Night" is the new BB200 #1 this week, and sells enough to debut at #20 on this list. Guns N'Roses' "Greatest Hits" is a new entry at #36 (also up 16-4 on YTD catalog). It sold over 84,000 this week, many of them for 25 cents through AmazonMP3 and Google Play. The soundtrack album to Project X is the only other new entry at #94. Gotye (#27), Tyga (#34) & Fun. (#35) all move up to new peaks this week.

The soundtrack to "Hunger Games" is expected to debut at #1 on next week's BB200, and should sell enough to get a top 30 debut here.

[AndiIversen]

Thank you oldbloke!

[Lehmann]

3 millions for Adele before anyone else reaches 1 million, right?

[Lemo]

Do you guys think Whitney will reach 1 million by years end?

[herb]

I believe that you meant Whitney Houston "The Greatest Hits". I think that it would sell over 1MM this year. The "Sparkle" movie would help it to reach 1MM sale this year.

[zxcvbnm88]

Do you guys think Whitney will reach 1 million by years end?

1,000,000 - 642,200 = 357,800

357,800 / 41 weeks = 8700+

TGH sales are dropping but it's still possible

3 millions for Adele before anyone else reaches 1 million, right?

Probable. She can only be 2 weeks max off 9x platinum now.

[wave]

Adele's well infront and it's looking almost cretin to end up at number 1 at year end, Taylor wont stand a chance this year.

WEEK 12

albums selling over 1,000,000 - this year - 1 / last year - 0
albums selling over 500,000 - this year - 3 / last year - 2
albums selling over 250,000 - this year - 12 / last year - 16
albums selling over 100,000 - this year - 59 / last year - 66
total albums sales - this year - 71.68m (+0.7%) / last year - 71.20m

No change in the order of the top 13 albums on this week's list. Last week's BB200 #1: One Direction's "Up All Night" moves #20 - #15, and the new BB200 #1 this week: "The Hunger Games" soundtrack debuts here at #27. Only 3 other albums reaching new peaks in the top 50: Gotye #24, Fun. #29 and Tyga #33. The second highest new entry on the BB200 at #3 is the Shins with "Port Of Morrow" which enters this list at #76.

Sales are starting to slip back - 4 weeks ago the 2012 total was over 1½ million ahead of 2011, now it's less than 500,000.

If we're all still here, Madonna's new album "MDNA" will debut at #1 on next week's BB200 and could land on this list as high as #7.

[Euromillions]

'21' is outselling its nearest studio album rival by 6.5:1. And of the 3 studio albums in the Top 5, Adele has 2 of them. Astonishing.

[Toadallstar2]

at this point I doubt anyone will outsell Adele for the YTD.

33 - *44,300 - CELEBRATION - Madonna

This disappoints me because she was awesome during the halftime show and it was watched by over 100million viewers, I expected higher numbers

Whitney looks like she'll end up with a couple of the year's top sellers in the catalog chart, although, what else can boost her sales throughout the year, VMA's? the movie with Jordin Sparks? Whatever happens, I love that the Bodyguard Sdtk has considerable movement this year.

[stevyy]

the decade has been a bit of a flop so far. Only Adele pulled really huge numbers while Taylor and Eminem did also quite well.. I just hope that by 2019 all of the top 10 best selling albums stand at above 4 million copies sold.

[JSparksFan]

Mumford & Sons have sold more than Gaga? That's a shocker!

[WolfSpear]

Had Adele's reign stopped and Whitney not died, Now 41 would be on route as the #1 album. That's sickening.

[thebigham]

Madonna should be #6 on the new update.
