THANK YOU

Well, since IFOP isn't publishing it anymore, we can get it from chartsinfrance.net

Here is the link: http://www.chartsinfrance.net/charts/formats-longs.php

 

There is a chance that Celine entered also the Top Albums téléchargés, but the chart wasn't updated yet.

 

By the way - the dvd is #22 (from #28) in France (47th week).

[Shamrock_1982]

I'm thinking that Celine may make the no. 6 spot in the uk album charts today....as she was no. 7 on friday morning, and alot more people go shopping on saturdays.... although I'm happy, as long as she stays in the top 10 lol.

LET ME COUNT THE WAYS

 

Hello.

 

My question is about the recent release of Celine Dion's ultimate collection CD. It is a two-CD set. When numbers are tabulated for charting does that count as one CD or two?

 

Also, she released two versions on the same day. Are both CDs counted together since they both have the same bar code?

 

Peace,

 

Vincent DeTiberiis

 

 

Dear Vincent,

 

When Nielsen SoundScan counts sales of albums, one album sold is one album sold, no matter how many CDs make up the album. So if someone buys a copy of the double-CD version of Celine Dion's new "My Love: Essential Collection," it does count as one album sold, not two.

 

This question comes up a lot because the RIAA, the industry trade organization that issues gold and platinum certifications, counts a different way. They count a double-CD as two albums sold for certification purposes. But that has nothing to do with how the Billboard charts are compiled.

 

The single and double versions of the Celine Dion album have different bar codes; they would have to unless they were selling for the same price, as the bar code includes information on the price of the item being sold. But that isn't how we determine if an album is merged or not. The two editions of the Celine Dion album are being merged, according to chart policy.

 

You might notice in this week's Chart Beat I refer to two different editions of a new Hank Williams collection of unreleased material, issued by the Time Life label. There is a triple-CD box set as well as a single CD. The triple-CD box debuts on Top Country Albums at No. 42 and the single CD at No. 49. This is also according to chart policy. That policy allows single and double albums of the same title to be merged, but not sets of three CDs or more. That's why the Celine Dion albums are merged but the Hank Williams sets are not.

This album seems to be doing much better than expected and a lot better than TC ever did, as far as I can remember.

Taking Chances sold much better world wide. Just from the top of my head I know Taking Chances opened with better numbers in the US (214,000) and in the UK.

I was talking about chart positions, not about sales figures. TC had better sales, but charted very badly, as far as I can remember.

[Shamrock_1982]

Celine's @ No.7 in this weeks uk album chart!!

Taking Chances debuted at #5 in the UK (just as this on but with more sales), #3 in the US (where as this one debuted at #8), #1 in Canada (where this debuted at #2) and #5 in Italy (where this debuted at #21). I can't remember other peaks at the moment but overall it is safe to say that Taking Chances performed much better than My Love with sales and chart positions.

You can't compare a promoted and brand new album with a collection of hits.

This album was highly promoted in these countries during the first week.

BTW no big difference between tc debut in uk and my love debut

56k tc and 43k my love.

[mgreyck]

Here in Brazil My Love Essential Collection is in 3rd place in the top download from the website Terra Sonora, the main site for downloads of the country.

I wasn't the one who was comparing, she was. lol I was simply making it clear that this hasn't performed as well as Taking Chances did in sales or chart ranks. BTW 13,000 is a good distance apart in the UK. This is holding up well though.

13k is not a good distance apart if you consider TCH had X-Factor and tons of promo in UK, and MLEC had only TV ads. BTW, I think it's surreal even thinking MLEC could do the same, or better than TCH in the whole world.
