Hits week 9

[Popmartijn]

With all the excitement because of the tour announcement (and subsequent pre-sales), we should not forget that How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb is still selling! Hits has started again with their Building Album Sales Chart and here are the first results:
With 9.65% in:
-- 1 THE GAME THE DOCUMENTARY 60,594
1 2 GREEN DAY AMERICAN IDIOT 9,534
2 3 EMINEM ENCORE 7,607
5 4 LIL' JON & THE EASTSIDE BOYZ CRUNK JUICE 6,144
10 5 LUDACRIS THE RED LIGHT DISTRICT 4,502
...
16 28 U2 HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB 1,852


Remember, all this will change a lot when we get near the final chart. Although it wouldn't be that difficult to predict who'll be #1 this week.

C ya!

U2 #25 with 8,711

I hope it will be more than 30,000.

 

[fedeu2]

I think sales will be a bit higher, around 40,000.
We'll see.

Anyone still interested in the final Hits sales? I mean, we now with all the pre-sales underway (and the horror stories that go with them)...

For those who do, the final numbers:
-- 1 THE GAME THE DOCUMENTARY 611,623 --
1 2 GREEN DAY AMERICAN IDIOT 87,995 -12%
2 3 EMINEM ENCORE 73,295 -12%
5 4 LIL' JON & THE EASTSIDE BOYZ CRUNK JUICE 62,386 -11%
4 5 JOHN LEGEND GET LIFTED 61,754 -14%
...
16 25 U2 HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB 32,714 -20%

With many artists having a smaller dropoff (or even a sales rise) I'm kinda disappointed by U2's figures. I guess everyone was saving their money for the concert tickets...

[KUEFC09U2]

ouch..... thats really really poor

 

[BigMacPhisto]

Hits always underestimates U2 it seems.......they'll be close to 40,000 on Soundscan I bet........quite good, imo.

 

[STING2]

I predict the soundscan number will be 39,000 for the week in the USA. The question will be will the album stay in the top 20 or not.

 

[Axver]

I still want to know who the hell The Game are and why they sold so well.
