***I can't believe that Stevie Wonder's latest CD can't even make it to gold status.It has only sold 367,033 copies so far

***Santana may wanna re-think his approach.His latest CD 'All That I Am' has gone gold (547,682 copies) but it's shaping up to be a major disappointment.The first two singles went nowhere.

***Madonna's CD 'COADF' has actually climbed a few spots up the charts this week (from 23 to 15),and it's US sales so far is well over a million copies (1,149,866 copies).Worldwide,the total sales are around 6.4 copies.Just as I predicted weeks ago,the album is selling steadily.


***I'm happy to see that the Gorillaz has gone platinum.Their CD is superb...one of the best releases I bought last year.


***Jamie Foxx still at Number One?? Who's buying that crap?

I can't believe that Stevie Wonder's latest CD can't even make it to gold status.It has only sold 367,033 copies so far

>>>Shame for a great talent , little to no radio support. ...What the Fuss got some attention fron Urban AC other than that nada.

***Santana may wanna re-think his approach.His latest CD 'All That I Am' has gone gold (547,682 copies) but it's shaping up to be a major disappointment.The first two singles went nowhere.

>>>>Where's Rob Thomas when you need him?

***Madonna's CD 'COADF' has actually climbed a few spots up the charts this week (from 23 to 15),and it's US sales so far is well over a million copies (1,149,866 copies).Worldwide,the total sales are around 6.4 copies.Just as I predicted weeks ago,the album is selling steadily.

>>>> With "Sorry" on the way and a tour. This one wil have no problem hitting 2 million in the States.


***I'm happy to see that the Gorillaz has gone platinum.Their CD is superb...one of the best releases I bought last year.

>>> Hooked on "Dare" right now. One of the true bright spots on an otherwise crappy chart.


***Jamie Foxx still at Number One?? Who's buying that crap? [/quote]

>>> speaking of crappy

Jamie Foxx's new album should be titled "Unsettling", which describes it sucess. The Detriot News gave it a brutal review!

Actually Coadf has sold just over 4million copies worldwide
accoiording to the worldwide yearend chart which was published last week!!

Funny how Jamie's CD will hit platinum status in no time too.


Wait...not sure, could be scary....

Link for either source (6 million or 4 million) would be helpful. Possibly the year end chart cuts off in Novemeber like many year end charts do? I dunno. Still good for her either way

I think Kelly Clarkson is at 3.5 million, right?

Honestly this Record should be called "Predictable", everything is so transparent. The RB production, the Video he made, typical, the Rapper parts, further death of RB.

To also further this Jamie is doing a remake of MIAMI VICE as a movie. I saw two clips already, and the acting is hideous, the MUSIC is terrible, a RAP soundtrack???? Take a chance, stop trying to Re-do things.

COADF has sold 480,000 in the UK as far as i believe and 4 million worldwide. I would say it'll sell about 6-8 tops by the end of its chart life, making it slightly more successful than 4million seller American Life but by no means a return to superstardom. Mariah is currently at 8million worldwide with sales still steady.

newpower99 said:

some of these numbers are kinda waaaaay under expectations.

FunkyBrotha said:

8 million is HUGE these days, the best selling album of 2005 sold 8 million

meltwithu said:

Many of those numbers are dissapointing however I think "Sweatsuit" was supposed to be the combination of both of Nelly's last two albums...no huge sales expectations.

newpower99 said:

I thought that was a typo.

FunkyBrotha said:

Actually, it has sold over 900K in the UK alone and that 4 million figure is at least a few weeks old.

twink69 said:

yes the top album of 2005 sold less then 8million it was green day i think

i dont think mariah is anywhere close to 8mil worldwide plus most of her recent sales r due to ppl buyin the album for the second time!!

And her sales outside the US r very low indeed

The figures aint too old beacuse they had eninems album on that list and that only came out mid dec!!


well for coadf the marketing costs r like 20million even if they make $5 outta each album where r they making a profit?? i didnt even include the cost of making the album!!

Exactly. I'd say that COADF probably has sold in the neighborhood of 5-6 million copies, and it's only been out for a few months. I don't know why we're compairing it to Mariah's album (which was much bigger in America than it was in the rest of the world), and Green Day's (which has been out since September of '04).

Madonna's album is doing fine numbers, not in the neighborhood of Ray of Light or True Blue, but it isn't 1986 or 1998 anymore. The rules have changed.

here is the link

enimems albums which came out on dec 15 is number 14 with nearly 3million copies sold that means the numbers r very close to dec 31 maybe one week less

I would doubt if madonna is much more then 4million since her sales have fallen off sharply lately

Yea, rip off Beyonce and make a million.
