BA gonna cross FYA in weekly sales :'(

 

[Pi314CA]

^^Actually, SYA, BA, TBC and GG, all are showing excellent staying power as they have gradually moved up the iTunes chart as some songs shoot up like a flare and then come tumbling down.

SYA now at #92, BA at #126, TBC at #161, GG at #301... (smiley)

Boy, Cd sales suck.......in general.......

 

[Pi314CA]

First sales number in for Carrie from roughstock.com:

SYA sold 21,000 bringing the total to 166,000.

BA album sold 7,000 bringing the total to 1,451,000.

@PKLONGBEACH album sales have been decreasing steadily for about 15 years accept for a few lucky chances like Some Hearts The Emancipation Of Mimi 21 or SSWRN's studio albums all of which have gone 4x platinum or better as for singles digital sales go up each year and some songs take longer to hit than others and it looks like See You Again is going to be a slow seller while for example in 3 weeks of release Mariah Carey's new single #Beautiful has sold nearly 300,000 copies and will likely be gold when her new album is released in late June/Early July her first true summer release for a studio album in 20 years since Music Box was released August 31st 1993 fall/winter is her most common release time. for example her last studio album Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel was released September 29th 2009

It's time for the SYA video. Kelly's People Like Us saw a bounce bc of the video, and I bet SYA would also increase.

I just hope sales of BA stabilize. 30% drops are not good.

 

[Pi314CA]

Wasn't the 30% drop reported last week when the BA album sold 6,000? The latest report is 7,000 so that's a ~16% increase.

Is a country song in the Top 15 in terms of radio airplay selling 21k a week a bit low?

Hopefully BA can go 2x platinum around the time the next album comes out.

These are the chart positions from the weekly mediabase countdown shows so I think that they're a week behind the actual chart but I'm not sure.

Anyway, here are this weeks sales for each song using Roughstock's figures.

I was referring to last week. Glad this week was better, but there was an itunes sale for BA so that could be why. Hope it doesn't fall off again next week.

So while there were bigger flops, she indeed is not selling much, especially considering how she is supposed to be a very good seller.

 

[Pi314CA]

Seems that it is not worthwhile having a separate thread for sales as the BA era continues. So I'll post sales data in the main chart thread from now on.

 

[clh_hilary]

Actually should we actually have a big thread to post all the albums/singles sales data in weekly anyway?
