magnificent new on radio 2 b-list, usually songs enter as new on the C-list, so this is looking good, although eminem is also new on the B-list. so hoepfully NLOTH will start to rise the charts to at least top 10 in the coming weeks. perhaps as NLOTH has only sold ~ 300k there is more potential for the album to rise back up the charts. Though with HTDAAB 900k were sold just with the release and vertigo. i was expecting sometimes being a #1 and with a tour and COBL being a big hit also that bomb would have gone on to sell close on 2M copies, so maybe we can't rely to much on 2nd, 3rd, 4th singles to bring in the album sales.
Eminem's album is due out middle of may and looks to be using the increasingly common method of being released the same time as the second single.

This could be pretty dang good if they continue the pattern of selling more in the second half of hits data...

Excluding debut's of which there were 14 in the top 50, nearly half of the albums declined in sales from the week before!

I've never heard of an Easter Boost. My guess would be that most people who get gifts on Easter are young kids (at least in the US - I don't know about traditions elsewhere), and I doubt they'd be getting the album. Is there really such a thing?

You should know better. Most of those albums have only been out a week or two and therefore the usual steep drop outweighs the Easter boost. If NLOTH was only in its second week, it would have seen a decline despite the Easter holiday.

The Easter boost generally affects pop music a lot more than other genres. Taylor Swift flew up the charts this week thanks to it
Seriously do you never give up? you really want them to fail dont you?

Actually, half of those albums have been out for 3 weeks or more as you can see above. 3 of the albums have been on chart for 5 to 6 months!
I'll have to go back and check to see if POP got an Easter Bump.

Besides last weeks' debuts experiencing usual drops, the rest of the top 20 had gains or very little decline. And considering U2 was dropping 30%+ every week before this, those declines that maoilbwhatever listed aren't that bad.
And of course, he totally ignored gains of near 100% by Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood, significant gains by Kelly Clarkson, The Fray, Nickelback, pink, britney, etc., in other words artists that people usually snap up on a holiday. Which means U2 actually underperformed this week. As usual.
Come tomorrow, billboard will be reporting a huge spike in sales across the board compared to last week, helped by Rascal Flatts as well as Easter.

ACM awards probably had something to do with Carrie and Taylor getting their bumps.
Ok, even the third week normally sees steep declines. Didn't NLOTH drop about 40% from week 2 to week 3? Twilight is "new" in that it's in its 2nd or 3rd week since the DVD release.
