Yes thank you DC, that's the chart I tried to post. Ruben is actually the winner with the highest sales his debut week, so there is something to be said
for having long term success, not just high first week sales. My wish for Cook is that he does have good longevity.
LOL @ Ayla Brown selling less than Whorey. It's actually kind of sad to sell less than him, I'd probably kill myself. |

Very impressive numbers for Cook.
I agree about longevity, SHC. |

-- 3 DAVID COOK 19/RCA/RMG 283,446 --
DAVID COOK Wow. Considering the economy and how everything is, it's great numbers. And who the fuck would name their alter ego Sasha Fierce and make half an album dedicated to this character? I can't believe half the time we've seen Beyonce it, it was "Sasha Fierce". What a fucking weirdo. |

Anybody who gives themselves alter egos are either crazy or insanely arrogant. Either way she sucks hard core and it's disappointing that she sold so much
and debuted at #1. At least Taylor Swift isn't a crazy, arrogant bitch.

At least Taylor Swift isn't a crazy, arrogant bitch.yet. Hopefully she'll stay humble, she seems like a good kid. |

Beyonce Starts 'Fierce' Atop Album Chart
Beyonce scores her third straight No. 1 debut on The Billboard 200 this week as the double-disc "I Am ... Sasha Fierce" (Music World/Columbia) shifts a whopping 482,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album, split between material credited to Beyonce and her new alter-ego Sasha Fierce, has already spawned the hits "If I Were a Boy" and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)." Beyonce's 2003 solo debut, "Dangerously in Love," started with 317,000, while 2006's "B-Day" moved 541,000. In a week with seven top 20 debuts, Nickelback's "Dark Horse" (Roadrunner) sold 326,000 to start at No. 2. The Canadian rock outfit spent an astonishing 156 weeks on the chart with its prior album, 2005's "All the Right Reasons," which is at 6.97 million to date. Reigning "American Idol" champion David Cook's self-titled 19 Recordings/RCA debut arrives at No. 3 with 280,000. That's more than double the first-week numbers of 2007 champ Jordin Sparks' self-titled debut, which sold 119,000 copies and has gone on to shift 956,000. Last week's No. 1, Taylor Swift's "Fearless" (Big Machine), slips to No. 4 on a 63% sales decline to 217,000. New at No. 5 is multi-national vocal group Il Divo's "The Promise" (Syco/Columbia) with 162,000. The act's previous album, 2006's "Siempre," debuted at No. 17 with 108,000. Chop Shop/Atlantic's soundtrack to the runaway hit film "Twilight" is down 5-6 despite a 17% uptick to 125,000. The multi-label "Now 29" compilation slides 3-7 after a 33% decline to 115,000. Walt Disney's "High School Musical 3" soundtrack drops 7-8 on a 9% sales downturn to 86,000, while Enya's "And Winter Came" (Reprise) falls 8-9 on a nearly identical sales slide to 83,000. AC/DC's "Black Ice" rounds out the top 10 after falling from No. 6. The album sold 73,000 copies in its fifth week of exclusive release via Wal-Mart and Sam's Club, bringing its total to a remarkable 1.39 million. Other debuts this week include Dido's "Safe Trip Home" (RCA) at No. 13 with 51,000 and the Zac Brown Band's "The Foundation" at No. 17 with 44,000. The new Atlantic signing is enjoying its first country hit with "Chicken Fried." The compilation "Cities 97 Sampler Vol. 20," rounding up live-in-studio performances from the Minneapolis radio station of the same name, debuts at No. 21 with 35,000. The double-disc album features tracks from Jack Johnson, Sheryl Crow and Jason Mraz, among others. Former 112 member Slim's solo debut, "Love's Crazy" (M3 Productions/Asylum) starts at No. 32 with 27,000, while country artist Blake Shelton's "Startin' Fires" (Warner Nashville) debuts at No. 34 with 26,000. At 9.45 million, sales this week are up 6% from last week but down 32% from the same week last year (13.96 million). |

Yeah, neither did Archuleta. He debuted at #15 though.
We won't really know how much they sold in Canada until they get certified Gold probably. There isn't really a good place to go and get numbers for the Canadian album chart, just placements. Placements don't really mean much though since it takes a different number of sales to get any giving position each week. Miki where did you find this week's Top 100 albums? The new chart isn't up at the Jam Canoe site yet. ETA: I'm assuming you read the article on the site listing the Top 10. Stupid fucking Il Divo was #2, gross. Even worse is Nickelback at #1.

That's where I got it from SHC. I don't know why we don't have a numbers reporting site. We never know actual numbers.

I don't see why our numbers can't be reported. American Soundscan calculates for the Canadian chart too.

I'm sure there is a place where they get the numbers but its not made public and not reported publically either. Whichever case, we have a shitty system,
even the chart is crappy. Doesn't even show if the album is gold or platinum or anything. Extremely outdated.

West's New Album Will Approach 500k, as Guns (300k), Ludacris (225k) and The Killers (200k) All Trail
November 26, 2008 Kanye's the king of Thanksgiving week. West's Roc-a-Fella/Def Jam album, 808s and Heartbreak, in which he tackles the Auto-Tuner and his own inner demons, will be #1 on next Tuesday's chart with a total that looks to be between 450-500k. That'll be more than enough to beat back Axl Rose and his first Guns N' Roses album in some 15 years, Chinese Democracy, which will move around 300k, more or less, out of Best Buy outlets. And that's including the 25k or so not counted opening week at iTunes for the Sunday release. Ludacris' Island Def Jam album, Theater of the Mind, looks good for 225k, followed by the other one of IDJ's big holiday power trio, The Killers' Day and Age, clocking in with 200k more or less. Finally, what would the turkey shoot be without Barry Manilow? The "Copacabana" guy scores 85k for his new Arista/RMG album, The Greatest Songs of the Eighties, thanks to huge QVC sales. Coldplay's Prospekt's March EP on Capitol will chalk up between 75-80k, while Capitol Nashville's Trace Adkins appears headed for the 40-45k area for his new album, X. After some Monday confusion over release dates (all three major circulars advertised the IDJ albums coming on Tuesday), the numbers seem back to normal. Meanwhile, the market was up 6% vs. last week, down 32% vs. same week last year and now down 14% year to date. Feels like a tryptophan hangover even before the turkey is served. |

At 9.45 million, sales this week are up 6% from last week but down 32% from the same week last year (13.96 million). Canada Nickelback cashes in on charts By JOHN WILLIAMS Senior Editor, JAM! Showbiz Nickelback rode their new album "Dark Horse" all the way to No. 1 on the Canadian charts this week. The Alberta rockers exploded to the top on sales of just under 60,000 copies, according to data compiled by Nielsen SoundScan. It marks the fourth straight No. 1 album for the group -- "All the Right Reasons" (60,000 copies sold) did it in October of 2005, "The Long Road" (45,000) accomplished the feat in October of 2003, while "Silver Side Up" (43,000) hit No. 1 in September of 2001. Meanwhile, Il Divo's new effort "Promise" (24,000) came in at No. 2, AC/DC's "Black Ice" (18,000) slipped one spot to No. 3, and the compilation "MuchDance 2009" moved from No. 3 to No. 4. After one week at No. 1, Taylor Swift's "Fearless" drops down to No. 5, Enya's "Winter Came" came down two to No. 6, and Beyonce's double set "I Am Sasha Fierce" premiered at No. 7. The rest of the top 10 was as follows: the "High School Musical 3" soundtrack at No. 8, Dido's "Safe Trip Home" at No. 9, and the "Twilight" soundtrack at No. 10. |

I wonder how much Cook will sell in Canada. They were both extremely popular when the tour stopped in Toronto.

Week Ending Nov. 23, 2008: Beyonce's Destiny--To Be Bigger On Her Own
by Paul Grein in Chart Watch It's said that every U.S. Senator looks in the mirror and sees a future President. In much the same way, every group member sees an eventual solo superstar. For a lucky few, that dream comes true. For even fewer, the solo career exceeds the group's achievements. Beyonce joins the short list of one-time members of major groups who have done even better on their own. I Am...Sasha Fierce this week becomes her third consecutive studio album to debut at #1. Dangerously In Love and B'Day also opened in the top spot. Beyonce has now had more #1 albums on her own than she did with Destiny's Child. That group notched two #1 albums--Survivor in 2001 and #1's in 2005. Beyonce also has the top two songs this week on Hot Digital Songs. The sassy "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" debuts at #1, dethroning her striking ballad "If I Were A Boy," which slips to #2. Beyonce has had five #1 hits on this chart, putting her in a tie with Rihanna for the most #1 digital hits ever by a lead artist. If "Single Ladies" or "If I Were A Boy" reaches #1 on the Hot 100, which seems likely, Beyonce will have amassed more #1 hits under her own name than she did with Destiny's Child. This would give her five #1 hit as a solo performer, following "Crazy In Love" (with Jay-Z), "Baby Boy" (with Sean Paul), "Check On It" (with Bun B and Slim Thug) and "Irreplaceable." Destiny's Child had four #1 hits: "Bills, Bills, Bills," "Say My Name," "Independent Women Part 1," and "Bootylicious." It's rare for a former group member to notch more #1 hits on their own than they did with the group that made them famous. Michael Jackson did it, landing 13 #1 hits on his own after scoring four with the Jackson 5. George Michael, Phil Collins and Lionel Richie also landed more #1 hits on their own than they did with their groups, Wham!, Genesis and the Commodores, respectively. Beyonce has also won more Grammys on her own (seven) than she did with Destiny's Child (three). I Am...Sasha Fierce debuts at #1 with first-week sales of 482,000. This is the biggest opening for a two-CD set since Eagles' Long Road Out Of Eden bowed with sales of 711,000 a year ago. As Geoff Boucher of the Los Angeles Times observed in a profile of Beyonce, this is the latest example of a hit album that consists of two conceptually different disks bundled together as one release.(The I Am disk consists of neo-soul ballads, while Sasha Fierce focuses on dance grooves.) This double-faceted collection follows OutKast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below from 2003 and Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveSounds from 2006. I Am...Sasha Fierce posted the second biggest opening of 2008 by a female artist. Beyonce trails Taylor Swift, who debuted last week with sales of 592,000, but is ahead of Mariah Carey, who opened in April with sales of 463,000. But in at least one respect, this debut number has to be a disappointment: Beyonce's last album, B'Day, opened with sales of 541,000 in September 2006. Nickelback's Dark Horse finished #2 with first-week sales of 326,000 copies, which is slightly more than its last album managed. All The Right Reasons debuted at #1 in October 2005 with sales of 325,000. It has sold 6,967,000 copies (the greatest total of any album since Usher's Confessions, which was released in March 2004). All The Right Reasons has sold more than twice as many copies as Beyonce's last album, B'Day, so you may wonder how it is that Beyonce got off to a faster start this time around. (Something tells me that Nickelback and its management are probably wondering that same thing.) Nickelback simply couldn't compete with Beyonce's star power and high media profile, which included features in the New York Times and Los Angeles Times and a performance on Saturday Night Live. David Cook's David Cook and Taylor Swift's Fearless also topped the 200,000 mark in sales this week. It's the first time that each of the top four albums has sold more than 200,000 copies since the week before Christmas last year, when the top seven albums all topped 200K. While Cook finished third on the big chart, he ranks #1 on this week's Digital Albums chart. David Cook sold 59,000 copies in the digital sphere, compared to 54,000 for Beyonce and 53,000 for Nickelback. This is the first week in digital history that three albums have sold 50,000 or more copies in one week. Here's the low-down on this week's top 10 albums. 1. Beyonce, I Am...Sasha Fierce, 482,000. This new entry registered the seventh biggest first-week sales tally of 2008, following albums by Lil Wayne, AC/DC, Coldplay, Taylor Swift, T.I. and Jonas Brothers. I Am...Sasha Fierce is the 10th album so far this year to debut with first-week sales of 400,000 or more copies. Seven songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs. 2. Nickelback, Dark Horse, 326,000. This new entry is the Canadian band's fourth straight top 10 album. It follows Silver Side Up, The Long Road and All The Right Reasons. But just 5% of the fans who bought the band's last album felt compelled to buy the follow-up in its first week of release. (See details above.) Seven songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Gotta Be Somebody," which dips a notch to #16. 3. David Cook, David Cook, 280,000. This is the biggest first-week tally for a debut album by an American Idol finalist since Taylor Hicks' Taylor Hicks arrived with sales of 298,000 in December 2006. Hicks won Season 5. Cook won Season 7. Cook debuts with a higher first-week sales tally, but a lower chart position, than runner-up David Archuleta managed last week. Archie debuted at #2 with sales of 183,000. Four songs from Cook's album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Declaration," which debuts at #75. 4. Taylor Swift, Fearless, 217,000. The album drops from #1 to #4 in its second week. It has sold 810,000 copies, which puts it at #23 for the year-to-date. Swift's eponymous debut is #7 for the year to date. Nine songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs, topped by "Love Story," which jumps to #10. 5. Il Divo, The Promise, 162,000. This new entry is the quartet's fourth consecutive top 10 album, discounting a Christmas album that peaked at #14. Three of those four albums have made the top five. No songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs. This is the second top five album of 2008 to feature ABBA's 1981 hit, "The Winner Takes It All." Meryl Streep sang the song on the Mamma Mia! soundtrack. 6. Various Artists, Twilight soundtrack, 125,000. The soundtrack dips from #5 to #6 in its third week. The movie was #1 at the box-office in its opening weekend, grossing $70.55 million. The L.A. Times reports that it was the fourth biggest November opening weekend of all time. (I'll take their word for it.) Paramore's "Decode" jumps to #23 on Hot Digital Songs. 7. Various Artists, Now 29, 115,000. The compilation drops from #3 to #7 in its second week. With slumping numbers like this, it may be time for the franchise to change its name from Now to Then. 8. Various Artists, High School Musical 3 soundtrack, 86,000. The soundtrack dips from #7 to #8 in its fifth week. This is the first time it has ranked ahead of AC/DC's Black Ice, which was released the same week. The movie was #7 at the box-office in its fifth weekend. It has grossed $88.82 million to date. "Now Or Never" drops to #195 on Hot Digital Songs. 9. Enya, And Winter Came, 83,000. The album dips from #8 to #9 in its second week. It holds at #1 on the Holiday Albums chart for the second week. This week, it pushes ahead of Faith Hill's Joy To The World as the #1 selling holiday album released in 2008. (They both trail a 2007 holdover, Josh Groban's Noel, as the top-selling holiday album for the year-to-date.) "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" dips a notch to #95 on Hot Digital Songs. 10. AC/DC, Black Ice, 73,000. The album drops from #6 to #10 in its fifth week. It holds at #5 on the year-to-date chart. (Metallica's Death Magnetic inches up to #6 on the year-to-date chart, giving hard rock bands two of the top six spots.) AC/DC are digital hold-outs, so no songs from the album are listed on Hot Digital Songs. GH RIP: Christina Aguilera's Keeps Getting' Better: A Decade Of Hits drops from #9 to #23 in its second week. This is the third greatest hit set by a multi-platinum act in the past six weeks to fall short of expectations. Sarah McLachlan's Closer: The Best Of Sarah McLachlan peaked at #11 in October. Rascal Flatts' Greatest Hits Volume 1 logged just two weeks in the top 10 earlier this month. A decade or two ago, all three of these albums would have vied for #1. But in an iTunes culture, the greatest hits set doesn't mean as much. (This is good news for Elton John and Johnny Mathis, whose records will now almost certainly never be topped. Elton John--Greatest Hits spent a record 10 weeks at #1. Johnny's Greatest Hits spent a record 490 weeks on the chart.) Three other albums drop out of the top 10 this week. David Archuleta's David Archuleta slips from #2 to #11, T-Pain's Thr33 Ringz falls from #4 to #12, and T.I.'s Paper Trail drops from #10 to #14. Catalog Report: Josh Groban's Noel tops the Catalog Albums chart for the third straight week. It sold 78,000 copies this week and would have ranked #10 on the big chart if older, catalog albums were eligible to compete there. This is the third time a holiday album from a previous holiday season has returned to the top 10 on the "Comprehensive Albums chart" (which lists everything) in a subsequent year. Kenny G's 1994 smash Miracles--The Holiday Album hit #3 on the Comprehensive chart in 1995 and #9 in 1996. Il Divo's 2006 hit The Christmas Collection reached #10 on the Comprehensive chart last year. Dido's Safe Trip Home bows at #13. This represents a drop-off from the singer's two previous albums. Life For Rent debuted (and peaked) at #4 in 2003. No Angel peaked at #3 in 2000. Mudvayne's The New Game bows at #15. This is the hard rock band's third studio album in a row to reach the top 20. The End Of All Things To Come hit #17 in 2002. Lost And Found reached at #2 in 2005...Zac Brown Band's major label debut, Foundation, bows at #17. "Chicken Fried" moves up a notch to #21 in its 10th week on Hot Digital Songs. Blake Shelton's Startin' Fires bows at #34. This seems destined to become the country star's first album to miss the top 20 since his eponymous 2001 debut peaked at #45. Shelton has climbed as high as #8 twice, with The Dreamer in 2003 and Pure BS last year. (Barbra Streisand is still peeved that she didn't think of that title first.) Ace Hood's DJ Khaled Presents Ace Hood Gutta debuts at #36. DJ Khaled's debut, Listennn: The Album, hit #12 in June 2006, which means the DJ has gone from newcomer to an established star presenting another newbie in less than 30 months. Ups & Downs: Comedian Jeff Dunham's Don't Come Home For Christmas vaults from #178 to #69 in its third week. It registered a 239% increase in sales compared to last week, the biggest gain of any non-debuting album. It's this week's #1 Comedy Album. On the down side, David Archuleta's David Archuleta experienced a 64% sales slide in its second week, steeper than any other album in the top 200. It dropped from #2 to #11. Bad News Watch: We're on track for this being the first year in Nielsen/SoundScan history in which no albums sell 3 million copies during the year. The best-seller so far this year, Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III, has sold 2,695,000 copies. With just five weeks to go, it's unlikely that it can reach the 3 million mark before the year ends. Nothing else seems in striking range either. Five or more albums topped the 3 million mark in every year from 1992 through 2003. The biggest year was 2000, when 18 albums sold more than 3 million copies during the year. The numbers started to falter in 2004, when just four albums topped the 3 million mark. Last year, just one made it, Josh Groban's Noel. I guess you can't count on a Christmas miracle every year. Heads Up: Kanye West's 808s & Heartache and Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy are expected to hold down the top two spots on next week's chart. West's last two albums debuted at #1 with sales north of 800,000. This is GN'R's first studio album in nearly 15 years. (So if nothing else, they're well rested.) Ludacris' Theater Of The Mind and The Killers' Day & Age are expected to take the next two spots. Also due: Barry Manilow's The Greatest Songs Of The Eighties, E-40's The Ball Street Journal, Kevin Rudolf's In The City, Paul McCartney's Electric Arguments and Linkin Park's Road To Revolution. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.

It really has nothing to do with him, it just has to do with the sharply declining state of CD sales even over just the last year or two. It wasn't that long ago that Carrie sold over 6 million albums. Now, It's a dream to sell half of that no matter who you are.  I actually think Ayla has outsold Corey though in overall sales DC, soz. Still last place tehehehehe.
