Mariah Carey :: The "Christmas" Eras

[stevyy]

nearly 230,000 copies sold in 5 weeks (if BB confirms sales of 60k+). also #14 is a great position. now i want her to sell at least 80k next week.

it's realistic to assume that the album has shipped over 300k in the US now.

230k is an interesting result now !
I hope a confirmation with SS : it's always lower for the moment...

[marcsgirl85]

thanks I wonder what it's gonna do in the next few weeks if the official numbers end up being anywhere close to that she's at 226k in 5 weeks and gold within reach by january

[lush]

wow

[Vanacoring]

Like I said, very good result for Mariah. But it's important to note that :

32 12 ANDREA BOCELLI DECCA 66,027 +78%
MY CHRISTMAS

His Christmas album of last year is almost in the Top 10, before Mariah, with a 80% increase !

her next TV taping is sunday in DC for Christmas in Washington which airs next friday the 17th and before that she has Oh Santa being the opening song in the ABC family movie Christmas Cupid the 12th Extreme Makeover home edition the 12th and her ABC Christmas Special on the 13th and should be gold by early January

Great promo : Definitely she will sell 150k in the Christmas week !

Have said this a few times before, but consumers usually don't buy holiday albums at their peak during Christmas week- it's usually a couple of weeks before. So, it's unlikely that MCIIU would see its weekly sales peak for the week ending 12/26- it's either going to be week ending 12/12 (this week) or week ending 12/19. The extra promo next week could help give it an extra week of gains, though, to reach its sales peak then.

The album is doing fine, but it is interesting to see AnBo's year-old album selling like it is, with no promo that I know of. I believe he will perform on Christmas in Washington, though.

Absolutely. I think the album will reach its peak next week.
Airplay may still rise on Christmas week but sales will start dropping considerably.

anything can happen stranger things have. and Yes Bocelli is on of the artists scheduled for christmas in DC this year as well

you'd better take that 1 out of your prediction number...

[LostAvenger]

"All I Want For Christmas Is You" crossed the 700K mark last week in the UK.

Mariah-AIWFCIY : total 701,100

great! that means it has sold more than 250,000 downloads since 2007. Just imagine it does another 250k in the next 3 years..

You'd better not tell him what he can predict. And that is not an unrealistic prediction as she has continued to increase this the release aside from the 2nd week

yes it's possible she has shipped more but nearly 230k is ok hope we get that 80k and 100k the following week and a gold certification in Jan

[Charmbracelet]

How long did it take Memoirs to get a gold certification?

[BadGirl]

How long did it take Memoirs to get a gold certification?

Memoirs went gold in December, so it took less than 3 months...

[DaBoi]

OS! itunes US #149.

[cabanaboy]

OS! itunes US #149.

:-?

Was hoping for it to keep rising up until christmas, as long as people buy the album I guess it doesn't matter to much. Plus you never know maybe OS! wont peak this year, but will gain popularity in the future

[stevyy]

i'm so excited to find out if OS made the bubbling under chart.

[marcsgirl85]

So am I stevvy the song so deserves recognition

[Charmbracelet]

Memoirs went gold in December, so it took less than 3 months...

So if this album is on course to make Gold by January, it is selling faster? I'm no good at maths

Maybe OS! isn't gonna be her 19th #1, but it is steadily gaining airplay and youtube hits - it's not over yet!

Bye hot 100

I think it still has chances to get into #96-#99 in 2 weeks

Even so it will be super flop

the bigger flop the bigger comeback
after that all Top20 singles will seem as smash hits, you know
