2012 YTD thread - United States

[Timmy94]

Sales are so low. People seem to debut ok but then struggle to reach big numbers

It's not because sales are so low because they all lack longevity.
This week there was no album falling from the top 10 out of the top 20, which has been normal for the last couple of weeks: How can an album sell big if it falls 20-30 positions in the 2nd week and is out of the top 200 after 3 months? And even albums by actual superstars hardly stay in the top 10 longer than 4 weeks ...

THE DECADE 2010-2019 SO FAR... (WEEK 121)

Selling a further 23,509 this week, Luke Bryan's "Tailgates & Tanlines" becomes the 46th album to sell over a million since the beginning of 2010. The albums shown in red were released before 2010.

I know Adele is #1 there, Lady Gaga and Eminem should be in the top 5, maybe Coldplay and Taylor Swift are the other top selling digital albums

WEEK 18

albums selling over 1,000,000 - this year - 1 / last year - 1
albums selling over 500,000 - this year - 5 / last year - 7
albums selling over 250,000 - this year - 26 / last year - 29
albums selling over 100,000 - this year - 88 / last year - 99
total albums sales - this year - 106.73m (-1.3%)/ last year -108.11m

Lionel Richie's "Tuskagee" passes "Now 41" this week, moving up to #3 on the list and becoming the biggest selling album of the year so far that was released in 2012.

The top 3 on this week's BB200 are all new entries, and all sell enough to debut on this list: Carrie Underwood's "Blown Away" at #25, Norah Jones' "Little Broken Hearts" at #83, and "Now 42" at #92. Just 3 oher albums reaching new peaks this week's top 50: Gotye (#12), Shinedown (#38), and last week's BB200 #1 Jack White's "Blunderbuss" moving #60-#42.

Total album sales are now 1.3% down on last year - as for this list: the combined sales of the top 100 YTD albums is 24.27m, that's actually 1.4% up on the same point in 2011 (23.94m). If you take sales of Adele's "21" out of those numbers (3,162,742 this year/1,554,291 last year), you get a rather sickly 6% fall.

Key: Albums in blue are 2012 releases, albums in green are catalog. * - indicates estimated sales. † - indicates album with christian outlet sales not included.

^He estimates some sales and then when the sales leak, he uses those for a final chart.

No, they are the actual SoundScan numbers except for the one's indicated with a *, which are albums that are no longer in the BB200/the Whitney albums where exact sales for the first 4 weeks of the year are unknown. I have the SoundScan sales for the BB200, but in screenshot form not text.
