Go Bjork!

I'm impressed with how consistent Amy Winehouse's sales have been since her album was released. I don't think the album has dipped below #20 yet--after two months and no hit singles.

sextonseven said:

That is pretty impressive.

sextonseven said:

have released "Rehab" as a single yet in america? thats ong will blow up if they promote it properly

GangstaFam said:

And I agree with sextonseven about Amy...nice to see a good album doing well!


But I'm still at the weekly unit totals these days...

Björk should have sold way more than that.

Moonbeam said:

You think? I'm surprised she did that well.

GangstaFam said:

Medulla sold way more in its first week.

Moonbeam said:

Thats happened to everyones new release this year, Avril , Norah they all sold alot less first week

Moonbeam said:

• Bjork earns her first top 10 album -- and her highest-charting set -- as "Volta" debuts at No. 9 with 43,000. Though she has started with better sales -- "Vespertine" bowed with 75,000 in 2001 -- she has never peaked beyond No. 14 until now. Chalk it up to how it doesn't take much to hit high notes on the chart anymore. And it helps that everyone's been buzzing about Bjork's collaboration with Timbaland on the album's lead single, "Earth Intruders." The beat-heavy song is reminiscent of Bjork's most club-friendly material from the '90s. She performed the single April 21 on "Saturday Night Live." Bjork also headlined the Coachella Festival in Indio, Calif., April 27 before starting her own U.S. tour May 2 at Radio City Music Hall in New York. Last week, on April 8, she was interviewed on NPR's "All Things Considered."

• This week's Billboard 200 is brought to you by the letter "B." As Michael Buble's "Call Me Irresponsible" rises to No. 1 on the chart, the four highest debuts on the list belong to a bunch of "B" acts: Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Bobby Valentino, Barbra Streisand and Bjork. Smooth operator Buble benefits from Mother's Day shopping, giving him his first No. 1 album. Though the set's sales dropped 32%, it's enough to keep him ahead of Bone Thugs' new album "Strength & Loyalty." The latter set, the rap act's first for a major label in nearly five years, gives the group its first top 10 album since "BTNHResurrection" debuted and peaked at No. 2 in 2000. "Strength & Loyalty" begins with 119,000 units -- the group's best debut sales week since "BTNH" began with 280,000. Last year's "Thug Stories" started at No. 25 with 31,000 while 2002's "Thug World Order" debuted at No. 12 with 82,000 ... The new album was preceded by the smash single "I Tried" (featuring the inescapable Akon), which recently become Bone Thugs' second career single on the CHR/Top 40 chart, following 1996's "Tha Crossroads." On The Billboard Hot 100, "I Tried" became Bone Thugs' first top 10 single since "Look Into My Eyes" (powered by strong sales, but little airplay) hit No. 4 in 1997.

• Bobby Valentino returns with his second album, the appropriately titled "Special Occasion," bowing at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 (92,000) and at No. 1 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. It's his second chart-topper on the latter list. Valentino's debut effort came in at No. 3 as well on The Billboard 200 back in 2005, but with 180,000. That album sported the smash single "Slow Down," which rose as high as No. 8 on The Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. However, Valentino's new single, "Anonymous," is keeping a somewhat lower profile. It has yet to reach the Hot 100, though it's slowly climbing the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Last week it skipped 40-35. For the week ending May 13, the song was ranked top 10 at 11 radio stations, according to Nielsen BDS, including KNDA Corpus Christi, Texas (139 detections), and KDAY Los Angeles (30 plays).


• Barbra Streisand scores her 29th top 10 album on The Billboard 200 as "Live in Concert 2006" starts at No. 7 with 60,000. She has notched top 10s in every decade going back to the '60s, including her 1963 debut set, "The Barbra Streisand Album" (No. 8). The new album -- taken from her 2006 U.S. tour -- is her seventh traditional live concert recording to chart on The Billboard 200. The others are 1968's "A Happening in Central Park" (No. 30), 1972's "Live Concert at the Forum" (No. 19), 1987's "One Voice" (No. 9), 1994's "The Concert" (No. 10), 1995's "The Concert - Highlights" (No. 81) and 2000's "Timeless - Live in Concert" (No. 21) ... With 29 top 10 albums, Streisand is fourth on the all-time list of acts with the most top 10s -- only the Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra and the Beatles have more ... Somehow, in her entire career, Streisand has never toured continental Europe. All that is changing June 15, when she kicks off her tour in Stadio Flaminio in Rome. The trek will take the diva to Austria, France, Ireland and England.

• Bjork earns her first top 10 album -- and her highest-charting set -- as "Volta" debuts at No. 9 with 43,000. Though she has started with better sales -- "Vespertine" bowed with 75,000 in 2001 -- she has never peaked beyond No. 14 until now. Chalk it up to how it doesn't take much to hit high notes on the chart anymore. And it helps that everyone's been buzzing about Bjork's collaboration with Timbaland on the album's lead single, "Earth Intruders." The beat-heavy song is reminiscent of Bjork's most club-friendly material from the '90s. She performed the single April 21 on "Saturday Night Live." Bjork also headlined the Coachella Festival in Indio, Calif., April 27 before starting her own U.S. tour May 2 at Radio City Music Hall in New York. Last week, on April 8, she was interviewed on NPR's "All Things Considered."

• Other debuts on The Billboard 200 this week include the late Elliott Smith's archival album "New Moon" at No. 24 with 24,000. The set's material dates from 1994-1997, previous to his major-label deal with DreamWorks in 1998. Dipset's "DukeDaGod Presents More Than Music, Vol. 2" lands at No. 26 with 23,000. Travis' "The Boy With No Name" gives the U.K. act its fourth U.S. charting set as it bows at No. 58 with 12,000. Yolanda Adams' "The Best of Me" starts at No. 60 with 11,000. The hits set caps her run with Elektra and Atlantic Records, as the singer has moved on to Columbia. Billboard broke the news last week in the "Inside Track" column (May 19).

MARKET WATCH

• Album units, current chart week: 8.51 million units
• UP 0.9% from last issue's charts: 8.43 million units

Nick Lachey arrived in the runner-up slot with "What's Left of Me" (172,000) while Jagged Edge and the Isley Brothers featuring Ronald Isley debuted at Nos. 4 and 5 with 115,000 and 111,000, respectively. The previous week's No. 1, Tool's "10,000 Days," slipped to No. 3 with 157,000. The top six albums sold more than 100,000 units.

I didn't buy Volta so I'm .001% responsible for it doing so poorly.

I did however buy the new Barbra Streisand album for my mom for Mother's Day so I contributed to that album's success.

twink69 said:

I'm not sure if "Rehab" is being pushed at top 40 stations yet. According to last week's Billboard it is top 10 in airplay on dance stations, but that doesn't amount to much. I know it charted and peaked on the national Hot 100 earlier this year at #84 on the strength of digital downloads. The song may be a little too avant garde for U.S. stations to play in between Justin and Nelly Furtado.

The number two artist last week slipped 30% in sales and went to number one. 141K isn't an awful figure for number one, though.

I saw it on VH1 this morning, so I imagine it's on the way. Agree it will be her best shot at a hit here.

MIDNIGHT STRIKES FOR LINKIN PARK

Wilco 50-55k

New WB Album Set to Debut with 550k-600k in First-Week Sales

May 16, 2007

They may have moved on from rap-rock, but Linkin Park’s fans haven’t stopped loving them.

The band’s new WB album, Minutes to Midnight, fueled by the #1 Active Rock track, “What I’ve Done” and favorable reviews from legit papers like the N.Y. Times, is headed for an impressive debut of 550k, maybe even 600k, which would be by far the biggest first week of the year. Blue Note chanteuse Norah Jones’ Not Too Late was the previous topper, with 418k back in February.

That’s what our crack team of retail counters assure us is the trend as we head into the weekend.

What you heard was Edgar Bronfman Jr. and Lyor Cohen breathing a sigh of relief in two-part harmony.

Blackground/Universal Motown’s Tank is a pleasant surprise for Sylvia Rhone and company at almost 100k, while SBMG Nashville’s Gretchen Wilson will do 65-70k first week. Speaking of, look for last night’s Academy of Country Music Awards telecast, where Wilson was a presenter, to boost several titles on next week’s chart.

Metal legends Megadeth, now on industry bulwark Roadrunner, are headed for a still-impressive first-week total of 60k, give or take, while Nonesuch critical darlings Wilco return with a lauded new album, Sky Blue Sky, that seems headed for 50-55k, based on its #3 ranking on iTunes and a Starbucks presence.

The market was up less than a point vs. last week, down 23% vs same week last year and now down 17% year-to-date. You may return to dreaming about the good old days of nu metal.
