Weekly Album Sales, Blown Away Era, Week 33

[Manchs]

Does anyone know how much Play On had sold when it was certified 2x platinum?

Great sales With the discount and now closer to Christmas, I'll be disappointed if she doesn't sell 50k+ this week.

 

[Mezik]

Agree. I think she can go 2x platinum too by the dnd of 2013- at least 2x certification for shipments anyway. She may not scan 2x platinum by late 2013 - but she should ship it for certification hopefully.

I'm thinking, if she gets a PCA, Grammy and ACM performance - She'll get a good boost. If Carrie manages to win any televised awards, I think we'll see a GREAT boost. With the promotion this era, I wouldn't be surprised if Carrie performed Two Black Cadillacs at the PCAs and ACMs and then perform Blown Away at the Grammys. A killer performance at the Grammys can maybe see her get another 100,000+ sales week. I'm excited to see what she'll be doing in between legs. I think she'll rest until mid January and start doing a bit of promotion for Two Black Cadillacs, I don't think she's going to let that flop. I also think the music video for Two Black Cadillacs will assist in album sales.

If Carrie does a gospel album, it will be to express her faith and not to get radio airplay.

Agree. I love how Carrie just does whatever she loves to do without consideration of making money, winning awards, etc.

I know that I will support her no matter what her decisions are. They will be made from her heart and you can't ask for more than that.

After certified, it took almost 20 weeks to reach 2 million.

I think Blown Away may sell 2,000,000 by early 2013.

So Carrie mentioned in an interview that some day she would like to do a Gospel album. Would that album then be considered Country??? Just wondering....

Alan Jackson did a gospel album called Precious Memories in 2006 and it was classified as country.

 

[teesharky]

Oh I did not realize that. I bought that Alan Jackson gospel album and it is awesome. But I didn't realize it was classified country.

 

[cary78663]

Well to clarify, Precious Memories charted on the Christian Albums chart, the Christian & Gospel Albums chart and the Country Albums chart.

 

[Gator]

^^ Thanks for the info Cary. I'm going to check that album out!

 

[Ann055]

If I'm remembering correctly, Alan did that gospel album for his mother...she always wanted him to do a gospel album and he did it for her...I love that!

 

[clh_hilary]

I see her throwing out a Christmas album if she's pregnant.

 

[PRGuy79]

Great, solid sales numbers! This does my heart good!

 

[thaifood]

I see her throwing out a Christmas album if she's pregnant.

She won't be pregnant next year with The Sound Of Music thing coming up.

 

[clh_hilary]

She won't be pregnant next year with The Sound Of Music thing coming up.

Well there's always another year...

Top country albums on the BB 200 chart. I am surprised that the current albums for some of the artists with top 10 hits are selling so poorly (e.g. Miranda, Lee Brice, Kip Moore).
