I knew SNEP was bad, but GfK? Wow. This can explain why Billboard took over the Canadian charts. I will say this again (with a new statement). Nielsen should take over. Maybe they will have some missing sales data as well, just a theory. Hell, even IFPI can take charge again. What stopped them the first time?

 

The singles chart is just as predicted, but who knows with consistent inaccuracies? As for the Albums, Seth Gueko sold just about the typical number one album sales in a week. The big surprise is that Emmanuel Moire slipped to number two (very little drop) and had a good retention from the opening week sales. Normally, second week sales would fall between 60-70%, so that number is mega impressive on many levels. No doubt this is thanks to his physical sales as he has fallen so much on iTunes. Come to think of it, are the album sales from only physicals or are they both combined this time? NRJ must be super happy that the French are still buying compilations. With the company having dozens of TV channels (including 4Music-esque channel NRJ12) and a very successful radio station, it's a wonder why, at least for TV channels, it has not caught on in the English market yet.

 

By the way, welcome to Digital Spy again. I gave you a shout out, but under a different name. You know what it is ;) !

I am relieved and happy that Vanessa Paradis is number 1 in albums chart. I am also happy that she sold 48k, which makes it one of the higher debut numbers this year. She is apparently number 2 in physicals, so the download sales must have helped her a lot. I know she was consistently at the top spot on iTunes until Sunday (Daft Punk was still in pre-order status). I wonder how the physical/download breakdown will be like? The download numbers must be huge! I can only assume she has sold between 7,500 to 10,000 copies in download, which is super impressive for an opening download week in France. I also think 48k is an impressive opening week number in combined sales, considering France's album sales climate.

 

Do you know how much Divinidydlle sold on its first week? That album sold mega huge! Love Songs is number 5 on iTunes at the moment, so it is still showing strength. That is saying a lot considering Daft Punk, Fauve and Maître Gims are on opening week battles this week. Emmanuel Moire is also doing decently well for his latest album and that is quite low for Agatha. I know some albums have good retentions and even build week-on-week sales. The most recent example being Taylor Swift. She started out with small sales but she built on that. Aah, Sebastien Patrick. Haven't heard from him in a while. His new song is pretty good, in my opinion. Great sales also.

Oh wow, that's hugely disappointing for Zaz. And she topped iTunes for a fair bit too, I really thought she'd be on for 50k+, especially with 'On ira' becoming her biggest hit. Oh well, hopefully she'll have longevity and I can't begrudge Vanessa the #1 either. Haven't heard the album (yet) but 'Love Song' is truly wonderful.

On its first week, "Divinidylle" had sold 65,207 CDs.

Be careful, it's Sébastien Patrick, not Patrick Sébastien ! ;)

Details about Vanessa Paradis' domination over Zaz, http://francemusiccharts.wordpress.com/201...3-albums-chart/

 

Vanessa Paradis dominated in downloads that week!!! Despite numerous new entries this week, she is still hanging on to the Top 10 in iTunes. I'm not too concerned about the drop because Vanessa normally does well in album sales, in the long run. She will easily sail pass platinum (100k) and if the promotion is consistent, she can make 2x platinum (200k) later this year. Even though Love Song has sold less than Divinydylle's in opening week, again, I think that is a great number - primarily because of her strong download sales.
