Dropped Out Of top 100

#90 - For the Love of a Daughter

 

Hard to believe, but Tony Bennett has never had a #1 album.

 

The closest he has come was the #3 debut for his 2006 album, Duets: An American Classic, while his classic I Left My Heart in San Francisco peaked at #5 in 1962.

 

That could all change with this week’s release of his RPM/Columbia album Duets II, which is being backed by a veritable slew of TV and live appearances, including a concert at L.A.’s Staples Center this Saturday night (9/24) with Carrie Underwood and Stevie Wonder, who also appear on the album. The disc also includes Amy Winehouse's last-ever performance, a duet with Bennett on "Body and Soul."

 

That said, based on early one-day sales reports from those retailers who still have their doors (and portals) open, Bennett’s Duets II will sell between 150-170k, which would put it neck and neck with Lady Antebellum’s Own the Night, which debuted this week with 355k.

 

Hollywood teenpop veteran (how’s that for an oxymoron?) Demi Lovato’s third album, Unbroken, is the week’s other top debut, with an estimated 110-120k in first-week sales.

 

I expected more. Hmm... Here We Go Again sold 108k in it's first week.

The album débuts at #4 on the Billboard 200 with 96,000 sold. I feel quite disappointed, tbh. :(

Isn't that lower than album #2? :(

 

What Dan said is true, but I thought it would still get over 100k and be her highest first week sales so far as she has a big fanbase which is surely still growing, and that one single was SKYSCRAPER after all. It got to #1 on iTunes and went top 10 on the BBHot100.

Both the first two albums got number 1 on the Hot 100 but I think Don't Forget sold something like 85k-ish so it sold more than that at least. Here We Go Again sold 100k+ I remember, I think it was 109k? And that was with only one single which peaked top 20 (15 iirc). Bit disappointing for Unbroken, fab album!

Here We Go Again peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200, but Don't Forget peaked at #2. ;) So it's undeservedly her lowest charting album. :(

1) It had very little promo

 

That's not true at all. She's done various interviews, performances and concerts. Yes they've been spread out but promo doesn't just need to be crammed into the release week. She's been very steady with it, and I think she did more than enough.

 

Also, prediction for this week is #13 with 22-25k sold, so yeah. It's not doing well at all. The album is a huge shift away from the pop-rock sound that previously defined her, so I guess it's not that much of a shock. I still think most of the tracks sound like left overs from Ashlee Simpson though.

This album is pretty decent. There are only 2 songs that really stand out to me and they are 'Skyscraper' and 'Together' with Jason Derülo. It's a nice little album to have in the background I guess. I think I'm just team Selena/Miley at the moment and their latest albums have been nothing short of pop gems.

What the hell happend to her releasing this album in the Uk?

It was supposed to be released here March 5th, but for whatever reason they've delayed it April 2nd. -_-

Part of me really wants to go, just so I can meet Demi, but it seems like lots of effort. I hope she is going to do some promo while she is here!
YAY:wave: :party2: :party: :rap: :hic: :magic: :banana: :dancing: :yahoo: :cheer:
