This is an article of Hits Daily Double :

YOUR WEAKEND TOP 10 PREVIEW: The top of the charts next week will be a debut-free zone, as two Christmas albums make the most of the remaining window and some of the year’s biggest hits show off their long legs. Josh Groban will own the chart for at least one more week, moving an expected 650-675k units of Noel (Reprise). Alicia Keys (J/RMG, 250-275k) and The Eagles (ERC, 225-250k) appear to be the Xmas presents of choice this year, while seasonal franchise Mannheim Steamroller (American Gramaphone, 200-225k) picks up, um, steam. The Disney duo of High School Musical 2 (175-200k) and Hannah Montana 2 (165-185k) comes next, followed by EMM’s Now 26 (160-180k). Country stars round out the Top 10: Taylor Swift (Big Machine, 130-140k), Carrie Underwood (Arista/RMG, 125-135k) and Garth Brooks (Pearl, 100-110k). Thank you, America, for giving the gift of music. Now get outta here, you knuckleheads. (12/14a)

Josh Groban is now one of the most important artist at the United States with 581.000 copies sold this week, 2.100.000 since 9 weeks, 3 weeks at Number 1 ! And, with a Christmas album !

the fact that he now sold a lot with a Xmas album in Xmas time don't make him an important artist.
you created already a lot of topic about xmas sales, predictions or news about josh sales, why continue to open new?

[Vanacoring]

How many threads do you will open about this ?

It's the first about Josh Groban (The other is about US Sales, and this week the news of US Sales = Josh too !). Now He's a very important artist in terms of sales, it's natural to make a thread about him.

Sorry for this omission, thebigham : the title is now updated.

[Yoshie]

How much has this album sold in total now?

[Vanacoring]

How much has this album sold in total now?

4,3 million at the United States. Worldwide, I don't know exactly but I think it's around 5 million.

[Yoshie]

4.7-4.8 million seems reasonable by the end of 2008, does it?

[Vanacoring]

Yes, Yoshie : I think the final result will be 4,7 million with 200k this week and 150k next week.

1/3/09 charts:

Catalog Report: Josh Groban's Noel tops the Catalog Albums chart for the seventh straight week. The album sold 172,000 copies this week, its biggest frame since the last week of December last year. It would have ranked #7 on the big chart if older, catalog albums were eligible to compete there. This brings total sales of the album to 4,530,000.

[Vanacoring]

My expectation was 200.000, but 172.000 is a superb result !
