WOW Impressive....

[Fredy]

The album is at #2 on Amazon.com

[Dechen]

TC is at #27 on 'Top Albums' on US itunes..... not bad right...

[thevoice]

Itunes is more important than amazon...and it's not that good...tho we have to remember that most of the mothers who watch the oprah show and want to buy celine's new CD won't do it via the internet .

[Filine]

Céline's on 4! positions in the amazon.com top 100, #2 Taking Chances, #77 A New Day Has Come, #86 Taking Chances +DVD, and #91 All The Way...A Decade Of Song That's amazing

Log into Hits Daily double tomorrow and you will see what the first day sales are. I reckon it is a tight fight for Number 1

i fear it won't be that tight   hopefuly i'm wrong

[takingchances83]

I thought Clive Davis worked for Arista, are they part of Sony, i didnt even know Celine and Alicia were on the same label. I think Leona is on Simon Cowells own label which is a subsidary of Sony am i right

Please tell us more about this torch on the motorway, one of my friends has heard of it and mentioned it apparently this will get her huge promotion, when is that going to be and where?

[Dechen]

X Factor winner Leona Lewis has translated her singles success into album sales, with her debut Spirit selling 130,000 copies in a day.

After reigning supreme at the top of the UK singles chart for three weeks with Bleeding Love, Leona's first studio album has proved just as popular with fans, selling as much as the rest of the top ten albums combined.

And the young singer could now be set to break the British record for the fastest-selling debut album ever.

Sheffield indiekids the Arctic Monkeys sold 363,735 copies of their first release Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not in a week in January 2006, but Leona could top 400,000 sales by the end of this week, according to industry insiders.

Gennaro Castaldo, an HMV spokesman, said: "This is proving to be a brilliant week for the UK music industry, with the top ten albums between them looking likely to sell the best part of a million copies.

"Leona's success in leading this surge is absolutely remarkable. Many of us expected the album to do really well, particularly following the number one success of Bleeding Love and the impact of Leona's appearance on the X Factor a few weeks ago, but very few people would have expected such phenomenal first day sales."

He added: "It's hard luck on the Spice Girls, who any other week would have had a number one album to cap their own return."

Spirit easily outsold the Spice Girls' Greatest Hits, as well as new releases from Westlife, Celine Dion, the Killers and Led Zeppelin.

"Aside from breaking the Arctic's record for the fastest selling debut album, Leona is already looking a safe bet for the Christmas number one, and is very likely to bank more than a million sales before the end of the year," Mr Castaldo added.

The top ten best selling albums this week, according to HMV, are:

1. Leona Lewis: Spirit
2. Spice Girls: Greatest Hits
3. Westlife: Back Home
4. Celine Dion: Taking Chances
5. The Killers: Sawdust
6. Led Zeppelin: Mothership
7. The Eagles: Long Road Out of Eden
8. Andrea Bocelli: Vivere: The Best Of
9. Cliff Richard: Love- The Album
10. Take That: Beautiful World (Souvenir Edition)

Is there any chance that her ranking on the charts is being split into sales for her CD/DVD and the CD?

I asked the same question in different way a while ago. It didn't get answered.

No. If someone buys the CD/DVD edition it counts as one sale. If they buy the CD edition it's one sale. If they buy one of each version it's 2 sales.

But on Itunes she's on top albums at both #27 and #32 thought. Maybe for some of them it doesn't reflect properly.

[Jeffieboi]

Well at Borders "Taking Chances" was number 3, and on Amazon right now it's number 2, so that's good. What's up with the casing though? Why isn't it just a normal CD case? That really bothered me.

Fade Away HAS to be a single. I could see this being a huge hit.

[felixwhoals]

Well it's Wednesday now. We still have 2 more days to go.

Here what they say on Hits Daily Double:

http://www.hitsdaily...e.cgi?news06878

"...Next week, prepare for the dueling divas as J’s Alicia Keys and Columbia’s Celine Dion go mano a mano for top sales honors, along with EMI’s Now 26."

It looks like it's not gonna be so easy for Alicia!

If you have multiply site, friendster or myspace, post and promote Celine's new album there. It will also help. That's what I'm doing to all of my favorite artists!

[isurrender]

I would have never believed that Celine would be so high on Itunes...I mean those who usually buy Celine are not the ones who buy on the net.

That's great for her.
