"Taking Chances" ALBUM on the charts

[Prince Whiskers]

I'm not annoyed as TC was selling better than the other two. HC is gonna selling only less than 100k next week in US, same for MC'S album. Some MC fans made fun of TC album sales and now they are getting revenge from me hahaha...

The second-week worldwide sales of TCH is HIGHER than the Week 2 global sales of E=MC2. I have a feeling that THAT will be the case again for Week3!

 

Hard Candy Week 2 sales in the US is projected to be LESS than what TCH sold on its 2nd week!

[VinnyT.]

1 million worldwide for Mariah Carey in just three weeks. That sounds good. But when you only remove her US sales, there just 260,000 left for the rest of the world Does it still sound good?

same for Celine! Celine in just 3 weeks sold 1.054.000 world wide so if mariah's fans called Celine a FLOP Mariah should be a FLOP as well! and we all know celine reached those figures with no HIT single no heavy airplay around the world, no videoclip everywhere and Celine of course is not considered as cool as Mariah

LOL That means Celine sold about 140k more than Mimi on Week 3! LMAO

So now we can officially say that "Alone" won't enter the U.S. AC chart. Is it her first song which failed to enter this chart?

[tal-sh2]

"Taking Chances" is still on the Canadian AC charts, after so long?

I guess it really hit there, isn't it?

Cool!

[Chula]

I predict the album will go up a little bit in next week and will drop of Billboard for good.

[VinnyT.]

The album RE-entered in Denmark at #30! :clap:

 

How come any new single?

[Prince Whiskers]

Celine's touring in Europe but Sony sees no point of releasing a single in that continent.

[GoldenLeaf]

I predict the album will go up a little bit in next week and will drop of Billboard for good.

Didn't you predict the same thing last week ?

[Chula]

Didn't you predict the same thing last week ?

 

I predict, I don't give a fact. It's not necessary my prediction must be 100% accurate.

[CSCfan]

LOL! It really won't drop for good.... it will deffo be back again when Celine tours the US..

[CSCfan]

OMG.....TC made an amazing jump in Holland!

From #67 to #29 (26th week)!!!!

Must be because of the Oprah repeat....

 

Funny thing is....it's higher than Mariah's new album (#42, 4th week) and Alicia's (#61, also 26th week)!

 

The AND DVD is still on #3..

[smw]

this album certainly isn't dead. the numbers will climb - as it's been said - once she is touring in the U.S.

 

Along with the tour will probably come more TV spots - such as Leno, Letterman, Regis and Kelly. Which will also BOOST the sales.

 

And the album will sell for years and years to come - because she's Celine. And it's not a bad album at all.

[amelie]

and what about europe...

Yeah!

[Shaun]

Well in the UK this week you would expect "Taking Chances" to recieve the same sales boost it has in other countries when she has been touring there but sadly not and I cannot say I am at all surprised to be honest. No promotional activity and of course the total flop of the "Alone" single.

 

So to confirm, neither the single "Alone" or the album "Taking Chances" made it into the UK charts this week.

 

In a bit of good news however, the 9 year old album "All The Way..." continues to sell very well and moves up to #52 in this weeks UK Album Chart.

[Ronny83]

No, it's down at #57 from #52.

[isurrender]

Well, she is not in the top75.

 

And UK chart has 200 spots.

 

Let's be realistic : the tour is other countries boosted sales but don't ask too much please : she can't gain at least 125 positions as she was out of the top200.

 

Your expectations are really high... I don't understand, really.

 

Ok, she was touring but the album was really successfull in the UK (compared to other coutries) as it sold about 330.000 copies. We can say that a lot of people who attended the show already have it...

 

:blink:

[max24]

Last week in the UK, two more albums were charting:

 

#106 (new) - Let's Talk About Love / Falling Into You / A New Day Has Come

 

#121 (re) - Taking Chances

[Shaun]

Thanks Max for the information and thanks Ronny for the correction, I typed the wrong number in. LOL

 

I dont quite understand the relevance of "isurrender"'s post though. No one implied that the album hadn't been a success in the UK, it certainly has been. However I certainly dont see the relevance of "celebrating" the fact that Celine's latest album is off the charts (or at least the top end of the charts - who cares if she's something like #195 really?") and being outsold by albums from almost 10 years ago? Yes "Taking Chances" has been a modertate success in the UK but is now out of the charts after 6 months of general release. Should that just be acceptable now and Sony can start shouting "next album please" to Celine. There is a huuuuuuuuuuuuge potential for "Taking Chances" to be on the charts much longer than it has been but no-one (and that includes Celine & Rene) seems to be interested.

 

The simple fact is that Sony have re-packaged All The Way... and are offering it at a budget price at the moment and hey presto people are buying it again in numbers because of that and because they know the great songs that are on it.

 

The same cannot be said for "Taking Chances", already it has run its course because Sony are out of ideas. Look at the albums that were released on the same day (or before) as "Taking Chances." Many of them still in the higher reaches of the chart because the material is being played on radio and TV and the artists record companies know how to promote their artists. It is not rocket science. If people don't know the product, they will not buy it regardless of the brand name.

[Kyle_Jared]

Taking Chances moves up to #39 on the official Austrailian Albums Chart!!!! Also, guys...Celine JUST finished touring the UK YESTERDAY....give people a chance to get out and buy the new album. You'll see it rise yet.

You are very optimistic. The US is not the UK. I expect the sales of Celine to increase here in the US, not to mention radioplay when she is in the States.

What's the link between my answer and yours?

 

Before the tour, she was ouf of the charts.

 

You said that the tour in the UK didn't boost sales and I replied that it will be hard to go up more than 125 spots because it was out of the top200 to be in the top75.

 

That's it. And as we can see the tour has done something for sales. She couldn't go up from 214 (from example) to 54 !

 

Everyone knows that Sony doesn't do anything.But that's another problem... Celine is doing everything without support from her record company and radio stations. Results are very good for that...

 

(or at least the top end of the charts - who cares if she's something like #195 really?")

 

I care. Big difference between being in the top200 and out of that chart. And if for you it doesn't matter, we can pay no attention to her position in the US, France...
