^^ THey gave their final calculations today and expect Celine to debut at #4 with 195-205,000 copies sold!

 

It was written on 16th Nov.. It was in (rumor mill). I think she will sell more.

doing some mathematics, if she keeps selling at that rate then her total would be around 210k. i hope the people who saw the ama's yesterday would go out and buy her cd today and tomorrow, maybe that would increase her total

OMG, Céline is at #5 everywhere!!!

[pat200]

her lucky number i wish her lucky number was 1!!!

[LuisMa]

I wonder whether HITS Daily Double is already including the sales from the Walmart special edition. For the past couple of weeks Walmart has reported the Eagles album sales at the very end of the tracking period. Hope this is the case with TC, so the number will be bigger after the sales data are finalized tomorrow.

[pat200]

God i hope u r right!!! maybe she could get around 300-320k

Hits Daily Double doesn't use stores as Billboard. Billboard uses different stores.

What do you mean by "doesn't use stores"?

[LuisMa]

I guess you mean that Billboard gets data from stores that are tracked during the week by Nielsen Soundscan, but additionally from stores that don't use scanning devices but do report to the magazine, which is a minimal percentage of total sales. But all the stores that are tracked by Hits Daily Double are then included in the Billboard final sales data.

Hits Daily Double uses different stores then Billboard. Many of the same stores but not all. Hits uses Urban stores and Billboard not too much.

 

I have seen a difference of 30,000 on the same ablum between Hits and Billboard.

[tal-sh2]

That's good. Just hope she'll do more!

[miracle_girl]

Give it time and the album will become a best seller!!

her albums always are!!

[nickah79]

Am I reading this right? They're saying the album so far has only sold 70 something thousand copies? Come on. Can't be.....

[VinnyT.]

no way this is just the 30% of the chart tomorrow we will have 100%

What do you mean only 30%?

That's mean Celine sold more than that?

And remember that's only in the U.S!

[thevoice]

it means celine will sell around 200k in the u.s as expected

[Hilda]

her lucky number smile.gif i wish her lucky number was 1!!!

[becomplete]

GERMANY:

 

ALBUM: -5- (new)

SINGLE: -29-25-

 

No. 5 in Germany is really bad! That means all the wannabe musicians and singers (Dieter Bohlen & Mark Medlock, etc.) have sold more than world superstar Celine did

I expected her to debut within the Top 3 if not as No. 1!

[lyn]

her lucky number smile.gif i wish her lucky number was 1!!!

 

Well, least it's not 20

Wait, I thought the official U.S. Billboard numbers come in on Wednesday, not Tuesday. Up to what day do they count sales, tonight by 11:59 PM? I'm confused as to where all these numbers come from.

 

I'm so disappointed. Is she really only going to sell 200K albums?

[William2005]

Yes her total will be around 200,000 copies sold. Some fans are in denial and still think it will reach 300,000 but they are in for a huge shock tomorrow when she only pulls around 200,000. First week sales aren't everything (although they are important). Let's just pray that this is a steady seller and atleast reaches 1 million sold.

How do we know this for certain?

[Tal]

I dont necessarily care that she comes in #1, but I wanted her to at least beat Shitney's numbers. 200K is ridiculous

[William2005]

Now Alicia is expected to sell 720,000 copies opening week, and Celine will come in 3rd with 206,000 sales. We know this because hits are RARELY ever off on their estimates. They come REALLY close to the actual Billboard numbers.
