LOL...Chrisette Michele might take down Ciara Chrisette Michele and Ciara Debuts, Will Vie with Hanna Montana for Top Spot
May 6, 2009 Three very different divas hold the key to next week’s HITS Album Sales chart race. A pair of debuts from LaFace/JLG’s Ciara and Def Jam/IDJ’s Chrisette Michele will be next week’s top chart newcomers, each looking to score in the 70-80k range. Ciara’s Fantasy Ride, her third album, will benefit from her Saturday Night Live performance this weekend, while Chrisette’s Epiphany, the follow-up to her 2007 debut I Am, should see action after being priced at $2.99 all week at Amazon. The race for #1 could come down to a three-way race between those two and Disney’s Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack, which could emerge as a dark horse with increased Mother’s Day store traffic from dad and the kids. Other promising debuts include Ferret’s Devil Wears Prada, a Dayton, OH, anti-materialist Christian metal-core outfit (25-30k) and Virgin’s Ben Harper and the Relentless7 (20-25k), followed by Hickory American Idol alum Elliott Yamin, Columbia Britain’s Got Talent winner Paul Potts and UMe’s artist formerly kinown as Cat Stevens, Yusuf, all at 15-20k. E1’s Hatebreed round out the newcomers, with a total in the 12-15k range. Next week, Green Day’s 21st Century Breakdown hits the street on Friday, May 15, followed by Eminem’s Relapse on May 19, if that date isn't moved up. The market was basically flat vs. last week, down 18% from last year, and now down 13% to date. (hitsdailydouble.com) | |

I would not be surprised if Ms. Michele beats Ciara to get #2 or even beat Miley, hey, lol! | |

Worth it just for the title track I guess but no liner notes. $8.99 will get you the digital booklet on iTunes. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

You can get a double cheeseburger and small fries at that price at McDonalds [Edited 5/8/09 0:00am] "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

Amazon has a *very* minimal share of the digital market. Last I heard, Amazon has a pretty big share in the download world. They are either the 2nd or 3rd largest service (last I heard). With an offers like this, they can continue to broaden thier audience. Not to mention their downloads are 99 cents and under. iTunes is 99 cents and 1.29. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Being the second or third largest service doesn't mean much when iTunes currently accounts for over 70% of digital music sales. They are moving aggressively into the digital market, but have yet to really gain traction. [Edited 5/8/09 9:00am] | |

Ciara's epic floppage worsens:
Updated numbers from HDD with Chrisette in a battle with Miley Cyrus for the #1 spot! OUR MOTHER’S DAY WEAKEND CHART PREVIEW: The big question going into this quasi-holiday weekend is, which hit albums will Americans give their moms this year? Will people realize that Devil Wears Prada isn’t a femme-skewing soundtrack but an anti-materialist Christian metal-core band? Here's how the top of the chart looks as we head into the home stretch: Hannah Montana: The Movie (Walt Disney) 80-85k Chrisette Michele (Def Jam/IDJ debut) 80-85k Ciara (Jive/JLG debut) 75-80k Rascal Flatts (Lyric Street) 45-50k Rick Ross (Def Jam/IDJ) 35-40k Lady GaGa (Interscope) 35-40k Taylor Swift (Big Machine) 35-40k Bob Dylan (Columbia) 30-35k *Ben Harper & Relentless7 (Virgin debut) 27-32k Twilight (Chop Shop/Atlantic) 27-32k *Devil Wears Prada (Ferret debut) 25-30k Now 30 (UMe) 25-30k | |

 @ Ciara. Good for her non-singing ass.I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |
