I believe that the actual Soundscan numbers indicated a little bit higher sales for the top artists, since both 50 Cent and Mariah sold over five million copies of their albums last year, and Kelly Clarkson sold 4.5 million in 2005, and Carrie Underwood has sold 3.3 million copies of her album this year, and the High School Musical soundtrack has sold 3.7 million copies, but the overall trend is correct. Album sales are plummeting fast, and not even superstars are immune from this. The record companies can't blame poor sales this year on a lack of big artists, because Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Janet Jackson, Rascal Flatts, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Evanescence, The Killers, and My Chemical Romance have all released new albums this year, and Jay-Z and Keith Urban are releasing new albums in the next couple weeks, but none of these people are even close to approaching the 4 million sales mark, let alone 5 million. I believe that we are seeing a permanent shift in the buying patterns for music that not even the best artists, labels and marketers can control.  | |

1/HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3.2M 2/RASCAL FLATT 2.6M 3/JAMES BLUNT 1.9M 4/CARRIE UNDERWOOD 1.8M 5/NICKELBACK 1.8M 6/MARY J BLIGE 1.7M 7/DIXIE CHICKS 1.6M 8/NOW21 1.6M 9/TI 1.5M 10/RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS 1.4M 2005 1/50CENT 4.7M 2/MARIAH CAREY 3.5M 3/GREENDAY 2.7M 4/KELLY CLARKSON 2.5M 5/COLDPLAY 2.3M 6/THE GAME 2.2M 7/GWEN STEFANI 2.1M 8/BEP 1.9M 9/THE KILLERS 1.8M 10/KANYE WEST 1.8M [Edited 11/2/06 17:29pm] I thought PCD did at least 1.5 this year, I know overall its 2.4 in the states, but i didnt think it did a million last year from sept - dec. One other thing to notice, with the exception of Now 21 and TI, those are all artists aimed at an older crowd, those are not artists aimed at young listeners, which proves a point that Bill Maher on his show, "We all know kids dont buy music, they steal it" so maybe labels should stop aiming for them, and devote it to others. (Even though High School High is basically kids, its a musical and older people are buying it) a-ha "foot of the mountain TOUR 2009" a-ha "Ending on a High Note Final TOUR 2010" going everywhere! | |

Pussycat Dolls at #12 Justin Timberlake (#13) Ne-Yo (1.3m) at #14 Tool (#17) Johnny Cash’s greatest hits (1.2m) at #18 Another good point is that artists NEED to start working on their followings overseas, this goes mainly for younger artists who even want to have a chance of staying around. America is not the market it once was at all, its no longer important to break in America, especially if you do well overseas. One fact i just saw The Pussycat Dolls CD sales worldwide 6.1 million (2.3 US) Singles sales worldwide 16.3 million (1.8 US) Total 22.4 million sold, 4.1 of that is US.

2.1 m and artistically better than all those albums, course in my opinion... lol I'm pretty sure those are sales figures for the U.S. only. Aerial may be better than all of those albums combined!  My site:
