Weekly Album Sales, Blown Away Era, Week 34

[liveasong]

Awesome!

 

[Suellen]

Great number for BA

Tee, you know I had to include some Carrie! I'm just happy that she is listening to Carrie. My husband picked her and my stepson up yesterday (we get to keep them through NYE), and he told me yesterday afternoon that he thought she was listenting to Carrie more than Taylor. He said she would flip through her songs on her iPod until she found a Carrie song. So, she is coming around!

You should have taken her to the BA concert. That would have won her over for sure.

Great numbers!!

 

[snoopytan86]

wow.. 58000 this week..nice number! but i wish more..

 

[teesharky]

I know I always wish more- lol-- but 58k is very good considering the album was not very well stocked at any store.

She should hit 1.2 million in a few weeks.

 

[PRGuy79]

Very pleased with these numbers!

The album and single totals have not been updated on Wikipedia in a couple of weeks. Can someone help with this?

How's BA the song doing?

How's BA the song doing?

Unfortunately, no sales numbers for BA thus far. My guess is 226k (sales of #1 song) x 0.17 (average iTunes number for BA last week) = 38k. Numbers will probably be reported tomorrow.

Read the 226k - heart leaped (OMG! MONSTER!!)

Then reality

Here is a bit from Billboard about what to expect singles to sell due to gift cards

[Eder Rodrigues]

^ Based on this numbers Blown Away can sell 120/130k, Good Girl around 50/55k and TBC around 30/35k

Much better than I expected

 

[pklongbeach]

So Double platnium is looking more like a real possiblility.
What do you think?

 

[Carrieroxmysox2011]

I wonder how much it sold last week.

 

[DizzyDollyDee]

I love love TBC - another one of Carrie's unique songs and really thought it would fly up even faster and sell even more but maybe people are looking for those country love songs or truck songs - go figure. I know she is doing awesome but to me the song is beyond awesome!ha BA and TBC have got to be two of my all time favorites - maybe thats saying I like dark? hummmmmmmmm

 

[Eder Rodrigues]

Blown Away is still very strong on streaming/digital. That's the reason why TBC it's not huge yet.
I must say, I don't wanna see TBC topping airplay charts too fast. It will be better if the song increase and stabilize at the same level in airplay/downloads/streaming.

 

[clh_hilary]

I'm so glad I don't have to buy Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven" this week as an attempt to block "I Knew You Were Trouble." from getting number one!

So Double platnium is looking more like a real possiblility.
What do you think?

I bet it gets certified double platinum but I'm thinking it'll probably top out at around 1.8 million. Which is fantastic, especially for a non-Q4 release.
