"Taking Chances" ALBUM on the charts

[manilou]

IS it possible that the European Album Chart is not about sales?????

[tcherno]

Any news from the Billboard European Charts?

CELINE IS #1

 

...and Leona? It's weird. How did she manage to top Leona's 375k debut in UK?

i think france,italy & germany sales helped her to get #1

 

I think this will propel her to a #1 at the UWC

i dont think so, cause we still have that huge difference in sales with AK

[LuisMa]

Wow!! Topping Leona Lewis on the European Charts is amazing!! And also, given all the hoopla surrounding Alicia Keys' new album, it's great to see that Celine's back catalog is the one that's improving the most, as she blazes onto the Top 10 on Pop Catalog albums at number 10 with "These Are Special Times" (No. 16 on Holiday Albums as well), and her "All The Way... A Decade Of Song" returns on that same chart at No. 19!!

Why is everyone repeating me? Am I air :S

 

'Cause we were replying at the same time...

[Céline's Blues]

IS it possible that the European Album Chart is not about sales?????

Yes, it's about retardation actually. Céline is getting retarded in 2009 and in 2007 she's preparing to do so...soooooooo as you see it is helping her on the European Album Chart big time.

[thevoice]

celine is still the queen of europ - that's your answer!!! at 40 she is still selling more than the hottest young stars...she is not only the best selling female artist in history , she is also a massive power in europ THIS DAYS

Here's Billboard article.

 

Celine Takes 'Chances' To The Top In Europe

November 22, 2007 - Global

 

By Paul Sexton, London

 

There are new leaders on both of Billboard's pan-European sales charts, as Celine Dion's "Taking Chances" (Columbia) debuts in pole position on Top 100 Albums and "Apologize" (Mosley/Blackground/Interscope) by Timbaland presents One Republic moves 5-1 on Eurochart Top 100 Singles.

 

Dion's album does not lead in any individual market, but arrives at No. 2 in France and Denmark, No. 3 in Austria, No. 4 in Holland, No. 5 in Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom (the latter on sales of 55,000). The title track single is at No. 7 in France and No. 8 in Italy. In May of this year, Dion's French language album "D'Elles" (Columbia) opened at No. 11 on Top 100 Albums after debuting at No. 1 in France and No. 3 in Switzerland. Her last English-language set "Miracle" bowed on Top 100 Albums at No. 8 in October 2004 and peaked the following week at No. 6.

 

WOW so happy!

KEEP UP CELINE

 

let's top that Alicia Bit** on the US market

 

Celine number 1#

[boyblackuk]

We all need to get Leona out our heads she has only released her album in the UK and although she has sold big, 20+ european countries have had "Taking Chances", she is bound to sell more as a complete total and be Number 1. European wise she has obviously sold more than 400k....we may be around 750k worldwide (LETS HOPE SO)

[Dionesque]

Halooooo!

 

Could you control your tongue a bit better, please???

 

I love Céline and I'm extremely happy for her success so far BUT I also really like Alicia's album - she really tallented and definitely NOT that "B" perspn how you call her!!!!

 

Have some respect to the others, ok?

[William2005]

When will we get the world charts and a press release about her huge sales in Canada?

[GoldenLeaf]

Is the ''European Top 100 Albums'' chart about sales number or about something else? Edited November 22, 2007 at 09:09 PM by Calypso

[thevoice]

it can't be only sales...it's probably a chart based on albums shipments which explains how celine is no 1

[GoldenLeaf]

it can't be only sales...it's probably a chart based on albums shipments which explains how celine is no 1

ah ok, I thought it was only about sales.

[nano]

yay...

It is only sales...Exactly the same as the UWC

[bluestar]

It's great to see Celine in pole position in Europe, I truly hope she'll get the same result soon in USA and the rest of the world...with Taking Chances she can do that!!!!!!

[celinerific]

Yay for Celine!

I'm itching to know the official Canadian chart statuses.

[Teodora]

No 1 in Europe in great!

[williaman]

POST IT TO PEREZ... CELINE'S BACK N1 IN EUROPE!

 

HI FROM ITALY

[GoldenLeaf]

No 1 in Europe in great!

and #1 in Top Internet Albums is great too!

[max24]

Celine is #2 on the United World Chart with 454.000 copies sold.

Alicia is #1 with 876.000 copies sold.

[VinnyT.]

thanks a lot these are figures from mediatraffic.de btw it is not 100% sure!

it's an amatorial website sometimes they miss many K's

[Bellamy]

Leona is 9th and Alicia 3rd.

How is this possible? It means Celine sold at least 500k in Europe.

I think that shows the power of an international artist. Even with no #1 in any Euro market, she's in top 10 everywhere, so she gets #1!!!! :clap:

[Nando Férri]

Celine is #2 on the United World Chart with 454.000 copies sold.

Alicia is #1 with 876.000 copies sold.

What is the United World Chart? It's a worldwide chart?

[Bellamy]

Yay for Celine!

I'm itching to know the official Canadian chart statuses.

It's #1 with 79,000 album sold, even more than D'elles.

[Costa Santos]

Celine is #2 on the United World Chart with 454.000 copies sold.

Alicia is #1 with 876.000 copies sold.

What is the United World Chart? It's a worldwide chart?

 

"Sim", it is.

[Xpresso]

The numbers from United World Chart (UWC) don't make sense.

454,000? She sold 214,000 in the US, 79,000 in Canada which total 293,000. Which means she would have sold 161,000 in the rest of the world. So how could she be #1 on Billboard's European Top 100 Albums with 161,000 (and less because the other countries are not counted yet)??? Something doesn't add up. I wouldn't trust thos UWC figures at all...

You're right. Obviously she sold many more copies than 350k in Euro. Cause Leona sold 350k in UK, and only get #9.

Even only sold 350K in Euro, that's 350K+214K+79K=643K, that's already much more than 454,000 from UWC. This figure is crap.

 

And don't forget Celine is a big seller in Japan and the whole Asia too.
