next week projections diddy #1 DIDDY DOES IT AGAIN
The Artist Formerly Known as Sean Combs, Puff Daddy, Puffy and P. Diddy Looks Set a #1 Debut, With JoJo and Dierks Bentley Trailing October 18, 2006 The man can sell stuff, but his biggest product remains himself. Diddy’s Bad Boy/Atlantic bow, Press Play, appears ready to top next week’s HITS album chart, though the projected total of between 175-185k can’t be considered a triumphant bow. His last album, 1999’s Forever, sold 205k on its way to a total of 1.4m, back when he was still known as Puff Daddy. That’s what our vast network of retail contacts around this wunnerful land of ours still taking our phone calls tell us, based on their own one-day sales reports. Universal Motown teenage diva JoJo’s The High Road is on target to sell north of 100k, a slight increase over her ’04 debut, which tallied 95k in its first week, thanks to a smash single in “Too Little Too Late.” Capitol Nashville country stud Dierks Bentley’s Long Trip Alone will have plenty of company to the tune of between 80-100k buyers, with approximately 99.9% of those sales coming in the red states. J’s American Idol winner Ruben Studdard’s The Return is just that for the now diminished big guy, whose non-gospel effort is expected to attract some 60k true believers, give or take a “k” or two. MCA Nashville perennial Vince Gill’s massive four-CD box set, These Days, could sell upwards of 40k copies, a pretty impressive feat considering a retail price over $20. Next Tuesday, look for Columbia’s John Legend, Gospocentric/ZLG’s Kelly Price, WB’s My Chemical Romance, Epic’s Ben Folds and Saddle Creek’s Bright Eyes to top the release schedule. The market was down between 3-4% from last week, down over 2% vs. same week last year and now down a little over 5% year-to-date. |

The funny thing is with all his pimping and pushing this project through various avenues, street teams, Trl teams, Myspace,Youtube videos, Tv commercials, he is gonna sell less than Danity Kane did for a debut. Well at least alot of that promo he did was free (youtube,Myspace that is) "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

His label isn't looking for big first week numbers but instead the sales afterwards is what they are worried about... | |

It is nice to hear of an artist that aims for the "young" crowd to talk about maintaning sales instead of just one or two big weeks, but i dont think this album will have legs to stand on. Despite Christina Aguilera being on the next single/video this will lead to major confusion since she has just released a new single and video, radio, especially todays radio, will rarely jump on more than song by an artist at a time, so diddy may want to have a third single ready to go quick.
