Posted December 10, 200915 yr DRILLING FOR BOYLE Syco/Columbia Singer Stays Home for the Holidays, with Glee Vol. 2, Chris Brown, Gucci Mane, Thirty Seconds to Mars Leading the Debuts December 9, 2009 If this is a Dream, Susan Boyle doesn’t want to wake up. The unlikely Syco/Columbia phenom will top the HITS’ Album chart for a third consecutive week next Tuesday (12/15), with a total that could hit 600k, bringing her cumulative number close to 2 million. That will certainly bring a smile to the faces of Rob Stringer, Steve Barnett and the notoriously hard-to-please Simon Cowell. Based on one-day sales reports from those retailers not too busy selling flat-screen TVs, the top debut will come from Columbia’s Glee, Vol. 2, which is rapidly turning into its own cottage industry, with 120-130k, giving Barnett’s label the top two albums on next week’s chart. Jive/JLG’s Chris Brown returns with Graffiti, which is on target for between 95-100k as the next highest newcomer, while Warner Bros. Birmingham, AL, rapper Gucci Mane is right behind him, with a projected total of 85-95k. Virgin/EMI’s Thirty Seconds to Mars declare This Is War with a projected total between 65-75k, followed by Mailboat’s Jimmy Buffet (60-70k), Priority/EMI’s Snoop Dogg (55-65k), E1 Entertainment’s BG (40-50k), Blackground/Interscope’s Timbaland (35-40k) and Columbia Virginia Beach hip-hop duo Clipse (30-35k). http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/newsPa...gi?news07869m01 Edited December 11, 200915 yr by britster
December 10, 200915 yr Wow, projecting another 600k for SuBo?! She must be on track to have the best selling album of 2009 (or at least come close to).
December 11, 200915 yr Author CHART PREVIEW 11th December 2009 As you might’ve guessed, SuBo and AnBo are exploding—apparently very few of their fans frequent P2Ps, because their shiny round things are flying out of the stores in Michael Jackson-level numbers. Can Boyle go higher? Can she top her own, already impressive first week? Below these two titans, four debuts are doing serious biz as well, topped by another Columbia release (Steve Barnett is obviously enjoying the holiday season). Here’s what we’re looking at with three more shopping days left until the polls close: Susan Boyle (I Dreamed A Dream) - 625-675kAndrea Bocelli (My Christmas) - 375-400kGlee (Vol 2) - 130-140k (NEW)Taylor Swift (Fearless) - 130-140kChris Brown (Grafitti) - 90-100k (NEW)Carrie Underwood (Play On) - 85-95kLady GaGa (The Fame) (original & deluxe) - 80-90kGucci Mane (The State vs Radric Davis) - 80-90k (NEW)Michael Buble (Crazy Love) - 80-90kNow 32 - 70-80kGlee (Vol 1) - 70-80kJustin Bieber (My World) - 65-75kThirty Seconds to Mars (This Is War) - 65-75k (NEW)Norah Jones (The Fall) - 65-75kJimmy Buffett (Buffet Hotel) - 65-75k (NEW)Black Eyed Peas (The END) - 60-70k http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/rumormill.cgi
