Beyonce's CD is super hott!!!!! I can't even stop playing it. Beyonce is going to be a huge success more than she is now and deserves all the rave reviews she gets. She's turning hip-hop, rap, and soul into a new and different direction and should get all the credit she deserves. Her risks on this album works and it's over the top from her debut.

stonefire said:

Really? Because I bought it, sampled a few tracks and don't give a fuck! Kind of surprised by the huge numbers, but that's good for the industry, so that's cool.

beyounce is also climbin becasue of downloads but i think this single is goin to miss the top 10 since the downloads r goin to drop next week

oh please tell me she didnt remake this song!

Mazerati said:

Yes she did, and it sounds like crap!

Anyway, I've been taking a look at the sales numbers, and right now it looks like the highest selling album this year is going to be this album:

20 HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL SOUNDTRACK 31,512 (2) 32,026 3,042,851

The only other albums on the chart which have sold more are Carrie Underwood and Guns N Roses Greatest Hits, but both of them were released late last year and had a huge chunk of their sales during that time. Its possible that either Justin Timberlake or Beyonce could outsell that Disney soundtrack, but they would have to sell a lot of records between now and Christmas. The other telling thing about this is that this is at least two million copies short of last year's best selling album, Mariah's "Mimi", but then again the year isn't over yet. Even so, it's amazing how much album sales for even the most popular albums have gone down.

728huey said:

I dont know if it could be considered a remake when the words are different though, its the same beat and chorus but the lyrics are changed. Hopefully sony doesnt push that as a second single or a slow song, they are a few other dance tracks on there to go with.
I think another interesting note is the PCD album has logged 1 year in the Top 30. Though it came out in September a good portion of its 2.2 million are from this year, at least 1.5 would be.

728huey said:

but without the re-release it would have only sold 3.5mil copies the same with snoops album which sold very very close to mimi both were re-released I think the true winner was kelly clarkson without any re-release

asg said:

You have a point there. Actually, I believe that it was 50 Cent who sold just under Mariah's amount, but he also had a special edition CD released during the year as well, so Kelly Clarkson did sell more of her original CD than any other artist last year.
