Note: Week 12 charts ARE NOT from Grammy effects

[beLIEve]

Just a quck update, most charts, esepecially U.S. ones, will not show a Grammy impact this week. The reporting dates of Week 18 (Rock & Records), Feb 23. (Hits Daily Double), and (Feb 24) Billboard will be the first charts to begin showing the "Grammy Effect". which really couldn't have started until this pas Monday, Feb 14.

You're preaching to the choir here. I think most of us know that - however, others (Jick - are you reading?) may not and will claim that U2's Grammy appearance hasn't done anything for them. So be sure to post your message, beLIEve, in other forums as necessary.

I think most people that are in the Charts Forum know that...! But it's better to say it again!

But 85,000 in the week after the Grammy Awards.

Ah ok, HTDAAB was released 3 weeks than ATYCLB and that week(week 16), they sold 85.000.

I think that 85.000 is possible for next week.

ONE-DAY SALES: SPIKE THIS

Grammy Awards Inspire Viewers to Pell for Ray, Green Day, Usher, Others

February 16, 2005

Viewership for Sunday night’s Grammy Awards may have been off compared to recent years, as Desperate Housewives addicts were unable to kick the habit. Nonetheless, early reports from retail indicate that the generally watchable show has inspired those who did tune in to shell out for the current releases of the key winners and performers.
The most significant beneficiaries of the post-Grammy buzz appear to be Ray Charles’ Genius Loves Company (Concord), which should be up 200% to 230-240k units, and Green Day’s American Idiot (Reprise), which is heading for a 100% increase to 245k, giving it the edge by a nose to land at #1 on next week’s chart. Usher’s Confessions (LaFace/ZLG) should also be up around 100%, putting it in the neighborhood of 165k.

Here’s how the rest of the field shapes up—and remember, these numbers are guaranteed to change before the horse race is over.

Grammy Nominees 2005 (Capitol): +100%, 140k-150k
U2 (Interscope): +120%, 90k
Maroon 5 (Octone/J/RMG): +90%, 90k
Alicia Keys (J/RMG): +120%, 70-80k
Gwen Stefani (Interscope): +40%, 75-80k
John Mayer (Aware/Columbia): +125%, 75k
Gretchen Wilson (Epic/Sony Nashville): +50%, 75k
Kanye West (Roc-A-Fella/IDJ): +240%, 50k
Tim McGraw (Curb): +50%

For the week ending Sunday, Top 200 sales were up 25% over last week. Record sales were up a robust 13.9%, or 1.6m units, compared to a week ago, and up 2.6%/+300k units versus the comparable week in ’04. Total scans for the week were13 million on the nose. All that action helps a bit on the year to date, which is under last year by 6.6%/-4.6 million, with current releases down 8.4%/-3.6 million and catalog titles down

The folks at Hits are reporting next week sales predictions for grammy artists!

In regards U2, they expect a 120% increase, i.e, 90 K copies sold!
That number would put the guys easily in the Top 15.
Wooooh!!!
Number one will be a close call between Ray Charles and Green day.

You can read the full article on Hits homepage, news section.

Amazing what the Mullen apology can do, right Jick?

120%? Nice!

Let's hope that proves to be true!
