A new week, a new opportunity for How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb to increase its sales total. The first organisation to provide an indication of sales, HITS Daily Double, has started its sales chart again!

So, without further delay, here are the first figures. With a very scientific 0.58% counted:
2 1 BECK GUERO 1,719

1 3 50 CENT THE MASSACRE 841
9 4 JACK JOHNSON IN BETWEEN DREAMS 603

It would be nice to see another week on the hits chart so far so good...too early to tell though.

 

[Tallarico]

NOW IN: 25.65%

..... not in top 50!!!

 

[edge3]

Don't reckon it'll end up in top 50. My prediction : No.54 on BB (18K)

 

[Zoovation]

Yes, #50-60 is realistic altough I hope it will be better.

Wow! Great result (much better than my prediction of 18K) and congratulations to MatejUK on your prediction of 21K - I think you've just won yourself a few $$'s. The only obvious question now is will Billboard agree?

 

[edge3]

'MatejUK'? Sorry - I mean MatejU2

 

[BigMacPhisto]

Finally starting to see the tour affect the album's sales. Quite good.

 

[MatejU2]

The only obvious question now is will Billboard agree?

I've missed the right place, so I get 0$

 

[Tallarico]

I think that actually, with the tour but without a big hit (Sometimes in Usa is going well but is not a smash hit!) 20k for week is the best for the Bomb.
Do you agree?

I totally agree and I only hope Billboard will put 'the bomb' at 22K+ and No.35.

MatejU2 - I never expected you to predict the correct sales AND position - that is virtually impossible at this stage. Of course there is still an outside chance that Billboard will put the album at No.46.
