That's a lot of payola. If it sells 10 million, heaven help us. Since his "In the Mix" soundtrack isn't even in the Top 200, I think the love affair is over.

VinnyM27 said:

The In The Mix Soundtrack only features Usher (shared credit) on one song, which may explain the lack of sales. But still , anything with Ushers name assoiciated with it you would expect to do better ....yes maybe it is the begining of the end...we could only hope.

newpower99 said:

People tried to defend that movie, but it tanked hard! It's made less than $10 million...that's near "Glitter"!

Well at least the 13 position for Madonna is better than the 16 on hits' chart.

At the very least this will be a genuine platinum album for her.
I guess i'm happy

newpower99 said:

How come the spanish version album did better then the english version

she got alot of airplay with both on mtv

newpower99 said:

Really thought that after opening as huge as this did, it would've had no problem crossing the 4 million copy mark. With a sold-out world tour, induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, 5 Grammy nods this year, and a huge hit single, I thought this would've done as well as All That You Can't Leave Behind. Too bad radio didn't pick up on any singles past Vertigo.

I'm happy that Madonna is still selling pretty well. I hope it passes the million mark by the end of the year!

3 million copies sold with only 1 kind of radio hit, is awesome, thats almost unheard of, espicially from an act thats been around for so long.

But they sold like 800k cd in the first week alone
and they had 3mil ppl come to thier concerts
i was thinkin they would do alot better then that too

Next weeks projections:

Bo Bice 180-200k

ludicris 110k-120k

Anthony Hamilton 100k-110k


Daddy Yankee 50k-60k reggaetron

looks like Santana's latest CD came and went without leaving a trace.Shame on Arista for releasing the two blandest songs as singles: "I'm Feeling You" with Michelle Branch and "Just Feel Better" with Steve Tyler.

If they would wake up and release strong singles like "Twisted" or "Cry Baby Cry",the album would be doing much,much better.

I can't believe that Stevie Wonder's CD has only sold around 300,000 copies.Motown didn't do any promotion once it was released.Where are the singles at?

he gets more play when he does a soundtrack, he might be finished. Next time he might be big as Aretha (see other thread )

I do remember Simon Cowell telling Ms. Underwood during the finals of American Idol last season that if she won the contest, she would probably have the fastest selling album of all the AI winners. I guess he was right on target, as she is almost platinum after only three weeks.

I honestly remember following the show last year but having little to no interest in all but one of the singers (Vonzell, who did a lot of upbeat pop and R&B). However, I could have sworn that Bo Bice and the other guy just like him were kind of fan favorites and figured when Carrie won she wouldn't be a big seller...Guess I was wrong.
