Woohoo - finally over 6 million!

crap sales for the top 10... 17 k to reach the top 10... it has never happened b4 in Billboard chart history...

'21' over six million :cheer: I think it should get to 7.5 million at least in the long run, might even get to 10 million.

crap sales for the top 10... 17 k to reach the top 10... it has never happened b4 in Billboard chart history...

 

Correction, never happened during Soundscan era (1991->)

 

I bet there have been lower sales earlier.

 

People should keep in mind that album sales peaked during the 80s and 90s and started declining in 2001. Singles sales, however, are now higher than ever before.

 

And even overall album sales were still up compared to corresponding week last year.

Edited January 20, 201213 yr by SKOB

Lana enters with 13k, not bad :cheer:

 

Adele should easily sell 8 million, especially with her being at the Grammys pushing the album quite a bit. Won't be surprised if she wins some which will gain further attention.

Shocked at the "total" album sales of some of the artists there. :o Bruno on only 1.4 million? After all his singles success?

It's never sold more than 75k/week. Wouldn't be surprised if his second album sells actually better.
