Week 6

[Popmartijn]

Hello,

Again, the Dutch charts have been very quick in their update. Last week would have been a mixed week, as it was right between two busy shopping weeks (right before the Santa Claus feast and before Christmas). As usual, the charts are courtesy of Mega Top 100 .
In its sixth week the album drops a little bit. But fear not, it's still in the top 10. Last week the album dropped from #4 to #6. With such a solid performance in busy weeks I won't be surprised if the album will also chart high on the year-end list (with sales of the total year). There is a small asterisk to U2's position as the 2 versions are counted together.
Here is the chart run for The Best Of 1990-2000 (16-11-02):
1-1-3-4-4-6

There are no other U2 albums on the chart. I'd expected that the first Best Of... would have re-entered the chart, but that's not the case. The #1 album this week is still Robbie Williams with Escapology.

On the singles chart the news is a bit less positive. In its eighth week Electrical Storm drops another twelve places to #59. It will not chart again in the new year as the policy changes on 1 January when the chart again becomes a list of the top 50 records (instead of the current top 100).
Here is the chart run for the single (2-11-02):
4-4-10-16-26-35-47-59

There are no other U2 singles on the chart. Robbie Williams has scored a double as his Feel reaches the top of the singles chart. It is his first #1 single in the Netherlands.

C ya!

Marty

looks about the same as last week in the U.S. According to Hitsdailydouble, the 2 best of's combined dropped 4 spots on the chart, but there were 4 new albums in the top 30. They are reporting a 21% increase in sales to 88,300 for both versions combined. Most albums had at least a 15 t0 50% increase. The Dixie Chicks increasing an astounding 111%

They are predicting that sales are going to head even higher for this coming week. We'll have to see how the albums place seperately when the Billboard chart comes out.

Report of U.S. Charts/Sales - first 6 weeks

Below are chart & sales summaries for the 90's "Best Of + B-sides", "Best Of" and their combined efforts. Many countries have combined the sales of both versions, which ranks the album higher on the charts. However, in the U.S., the albums are listed separately (Canada does this as well). Therefore, I wanted to make a "combined" list to show where the album would have ranked on the charts had the sales of both versions been combined. This last item, IMO, is a better indicator of the overall success of the "Best Of".


90's "Best Of + B-sides":

Charts:
#3 - 27 - 49 - 62 - 80 - 91

Sales:
184,804 + 59,694 + 31,512 + 36,916 + 26,344 + 33,292

Total Sales:
372,562


90's "Best Of":

Charts:
#34 - 57 - 49 - 58 - 56

Sales:
37,922 + 26,436 + 50,687 + 34,331 + 49,635

Total Sales:
199,011


Combined:

Charts (theoretical position if sales were combined):
#3 - 13 - 30 - 29 - 35 - 37

Sales (combined weekly sales of both albums):
184,804 + 97,616 + 57,948 + 87,603 + 60,675 + 82,927

Total Sales (for both albums):
571,573


As shown, the combined sales have already crossed 500,000 copies in the U.S. Sales were up for both albums this past week and I expect this coming week to see even stronger sales. Furthermore, combined sales would have kept the album in the Top 40 in the U.S. since its debut. Therefore, do not be discouraged by the individual performances of each album as they are really competing against each other, as well as all of the other albums released this time of the year.

Week 6 Update - U.S. Only:

The Week 6/5 sales for the "Best Of" are posted above. This post contains additional information on other U2 items on the charts.

The holiday season is usually a good one for U2 and this year is no exception.

In 2000, ATYCLB saw a significant sales boost thanks to the holiday season. ATYCLB's Christmas week sales in 2000 were second only to that of its debut week! In 2001, the 3 weeks of holiday sales (the week before Christmas, Christmas week and the week after Christmas) were greater than the last 10 weeks of the 2001 summer combined! This year, once again ATYCLB is receiving a holiday boost.

Last week, ATYCLB sold 4,755 copies, ranking it #148 on the Catalog charts. This week, ATYCLB drops to #164 on the Catalog charts, but its sales improve to 5,880 copies! Sales may cross 7,000 copies next week.

The 80's "Best Of" is also enjoying a boost from the holidays, in terms of sales, even though its chart ranking fell as well. Last week, the 80's "Best Of" sold 6,989 copies and charted at #85 on the Catalog charts. This week the album drops to #109, but sees a sales increase, selling 7,807 copies. The album may come close to the 10K mark in sales next week!

The full Catalog charts are in another post below.


The video version of the 90's "Best Of" sold an impressive 16,505 copies this past week! That was enough for a #3 ranking. Due to early release, it sold 144 copies last week (not high enough to chart). Josh Grobin sold an impressive 76K copies of his video ("In Concert") to chart at #1 and Paul McCartney sold 28K copies of his video ("Back in the U.S.") to chart at #2.

The video version of "Elevation" concert sees a similar pattern to the catalog charts - namely, sales increase, but it drops on the charts. Last week, the video charted at #26 with 1,818 copies sold. This week, the VHS tape charts at #30 with 2,341 copies sold. The lowest weekly sales for the VHS tape have been about 700 copies and it has never fallen from the SoundScan charts since its debut!

SoundScan reports two sets of numbers for music videos - one is for DVD and the other, I believe, is for VHS. However, this week, the DVD charts seem too similar to the VHS charts this week - thus making me confused. There are some minor changes, but both sets of numbers are nearly identical. This contrasts to what I usually see. Therefore, I will only report the first chart listing the video sales above. Either way, the 90's "Best Of" video sold about as well as "Elevation" did in its first week. (Of course, that video was only released at Best Buy its first week, so those sales are even more impressive, but let's not be nitpicky. )

LOL! All of you are too funny.

Thank you for the praise and kind words, but I'm sure if you received the SoundScan reports, you'd do the same (maybe more).

The next two weeks are the reports I'm most interested in - so hopefully I will get them. The one released at the end of the year reveals total album sales - maybe one will be listed for the Catalog albums too!

Anyway, I'm glad to be of service.
