So I'm guessing they're OVER NOW? Shame, I wanted this album :(

Album's really not all that, there's some nice tracks but thats about it. I love the title track :o she's got a fairly cute singing voice

About time... I did wonder what happened to them. I'm sure they won't have the same level as success this time around though :(

Let's campaign So Human to #1 LOL

I think this is AWFUL.... wheres the chorus?!

No, thankyou :) you gave us many laughs tonight

WRONG. You only spoke to me AFTER I told you to grow some balls. You didn't confide $h!tALL.

I'm sure threatning someone with a knife is also illegal... and sad.

I can print screen the chat logs if anyones CARES that deeply...

Chat logs say otherwise.

Anything to back that up? Or just guessing?

Oh I do wish you would STRAP ON A PAIR.

FLOP!

'Shocking'

#1 on itunes! LOL

Susan is about to do 600k and GaGa 350k and ADAM LAMBERT doing bout 275k... Rihanna's coming off a HUGE album that sold 2.5million copies in the US. 175k is POOR, very poor. Plus we're going into the holiday season now, she should be sailing with about 250k by now.

Predicted 175k in US. Dire :(

Susan Boyle's First-Week U.S. Album Sales Projected At 550K+ November 24, 2009 - Retail By Edward Christman, N.Y. U.S. music retailers say they are realizing Susan Boyle’s dreams, as her album “I Dreamed A Dream” is blowing up way beyond sales expectations. Label and distribution executives, meanwhile, project that based on early sales returns at the big box stores and pre-orders at direct marketers like Amazon and QVC, Boyle’s album is in contention to beat this year’s top debut-week seller, Eminem’s “Relapse.” That title scanned 608,000 units in the week ending May 24, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That week also represents the best overall sales week for an album this year. Meanwhile, Adam Lambert’s “For Your Entertainment” is also outperforming sales expectations, despite—or perhaps because of—the risque performance he turned in at the American Music Awards on Sunday, Nov. 22. Label and distribution sources project that “For Your Entertainment” could sell about 225,000 units in its first week. Likewise, Lady Gaga and her three-pronged sales attack on consumers’ purses is also much stronger than expected. Of the new “The Fame Monster” deluxe edition, “The Fame” original version, and “The Fame Monster” EP, also just issued, the former two combined could sell about 150,000 units while the EP is expected to top 200,000 units. Of course, all estimates come with the caveat that sales projection models are built around a Tuesday release date, while this week new releases came out a day early on Monday, due to the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. How well Boyle’s album performs will in part have to do with replenishment, as accounts reported that many stores are on the verge of being out of stock and re-orders have been placed. Based on past performances of hot-selling titles, Sony Music Entertainment likely will keep pace with demand. But it's scrambling to do so, allocating product daily and making multiple shipments this week to each account. Sony Music's ability to deliver product will be hampered by the holiday weekend, which begins Wednesday afternoon/evening. While distribution projections for Boyle’s album start at the 550,000 mark, some executives are reluctant to guess how high it will go. If Sony can keep product rolling and if big boxes “have stock on Black Friday, who knows how well the album can do,” says one veteran prognosticator, who thinks the Boyle album will sell at least 700,000 copies this week. Meanwhile, Adam Lambert’s shenanigans on the American Music Awards may have upset the sensibilities of viewers and gatekeepers at “Good Morning America,” which canceled his scheduled appearance on this morning's show. However, the only impact his AMA performance has had on sales seems to have been positive. Boyle, however, is proving to be the big story of the week. According to Hastings Entertainment senior VP of merchandising Alan Van Ongevalle, the album is outperforming the chain's expectations. The chain has never performed well in mainstream pop albums, "so it's doing extremely well for us,” he says. “Last week, John Mayer was our No. 1 record and that is in a genre we do reasonably well in, and so far in one day [boyle] has done more than he sold all week. We are not out of stock yet on her, but we are heading that way quickly.” Van Ongevalle adds that the chain placed a re-order before release date and that he expects to be in stock for the holiday weekend. QVC reports that it had pre-orders of more than 81,000 units for the Boyle album, its best sales performance in ten years, while Amazon says the album has generated its largest global pre-order in its history. Amazon doesn't disclose numbers, but sources say its U.S. pre-order alone reached 80,000 units. Meanwhile, Rihanna’s “Rated R” is said to be underperforming expectations so far in its debut week, “which is weird because she is on television everywhere talking about Chris Brown and a lot of teenagers are looking up to her,” says the head of purchasing at a wholesale account. But others point out that Rihanna usually doesn’t have a big first week on a new release. “Good Girl Gone Bad,” her best-selling title with 2.5 million units, according to Nielsen Soundscan, tallied 162,000 units in its debut week for the period ended June 10, 2007. That’s in line with current projections for “Rated R,” as provided to Billboard by major label sales and distribution executives. ----------------------------------- If Susan holds up, she'll have the biggest female debut album of all time, currently held by Ashanti (505k). Who'd have thought?! Poor Rihanna also :(

The re-release IS cancelled, the album will be released as a stand-alone 8 track EP instead :). Cheaper so it works out better for us :D

Even I could manage a Top 370 smash on iTunes.

Fueled by Ramen Punk-Rockers Hold the Edge Over Diva in One-Day Returns September 30, 2009 Paramore, the Fueled by Ramen punk-rock group whose 360-deal with WMG through Atlantic Records has proven a successful new model, look headed for a #1 debut on next week's HITS Album sales chart, based on one-day sales reports from those retailers who still take our calls. Brand New Eyes, the third studio album from the band, fronted by lead vocalist Hayley Williams, takes an early lead in the race with a one-day sales total that projects to 180-190k for the week. That gives them the edge over Island/IDJ diva Mariah Carey's Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, which is now on target for 160-170k. With a question as to how front-loaded those sales for Paramore are, Carey could close the edge if she has a brisk weekend. Those two are among the five top debuts next week, all registering in six-figures, including Columbia legend Barbra Streisand's Love is the Answer (150-160k), Hollywood rockers Breaking Benjamin (140-150k) and Virgin/EMI's retooled grunge gods Alice in Chains (130-140k). Columbia Nashville country darling Miranda Lambert's Revolution heads the other newcomers, with a total approaching 65-75k. WB Material Gal Madonna's Celebration greatest hits album is in the 60-70k range, as is Interscope goth-punks AFI's Crash Love. Disney's latest Hollywood Records crossover cable TV teen star Selena Gomez & The Scene is looking at first-week sales of 50-60k. Rock on Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd's latest, God and Guns, on Roadrunner's Loud and Proud label, looks for an opening week total of 30-40k, same as Williams Street virtual death metal group Dethklok, from Adult Swim's animated Metalocalypse series. American/Columbia Rick Rubin-produced roots rockers Avett Brothers round out the debuts with 25-30k for their major label bow, I and Love and You. The market was down 4% vs. last week, down 7% vs. same week last year and still down 14% year to date. --------------------------- WOW @ Paramore beating Mimi :mellow:

Second single from Livvi after 'Now I'm That Bitch' failed to catch on, RedOne produced: nPy--uj97fY

Just a word of warning, updating iTunes to version 9 removes popularity bars, they seem to have taken them away :(
