mebe Posted December 19, 2012 at 12:50 AM Posted December 19, 2012 at 12:50 AM I don't understand the enthusiasm regarding the "Attendre" song. I find it's the most boring song on the album along with "Tant de temps". To me, it's far from being a new "Pour que tu m'aimes encore". But it's just a matter of preferences... Quote
close_eyes Posted December 19, 2012 at 02:04 AM Posted December 19, 2012 at 02:04 AM Davey and Luis, I think the reason LPPF isn't charting on iTunes is because it's listed as 'Album Only'. I'm sure Sony wants to milk fans of both Céline and Johnny to buy the album to get this duet. Sneaky bastards! I expect it to be a single. That might be another reason the track is album only item on Itunes Quote Absolutely nothing is too much enough!

Have you figured out what they lyrics say? This song is a total revelt in favour of life and enjoying each and every minute we spend in it. And the structure the song has, ending each sentence with verbes in infinitive all the time and then it begins another sentence with them, I find its almost like poetry, a piece of art in the album Isn't an english translation in the forum? I can translate it for you if you want, just tell me 2 Quote "Hush, now... I see a light in the sky"

I can translate it for you if you want, just tell me That's what I think about it. It's a little masterpiece. And musically, it does have a build up... it never stops, "in crescendo" all the time, especially with the key change and the melody that keeps on climbing up to those falsetto notes. And it DOES have the same vibe PQTME has. It could have been written by JJG. After seeing Céline perform it at "en toute intimité" I'm totally convinced it could work as a third single, and marvelously! 1 Quote
mike_z Posted December 19, 2012 at 09:45 AM Posted December 19, 2012 at 09:45 AM so far the best-selling album in France！ 01 Adele - 21 (570k)02 Sexion D'assaut - L'apogée (501k)03 Les Enfoirés - Le bal des Enfoirés (385k)04 Céline Dion - Sans attendre (380k)05 Lana Del Rey - Born To Die (325k)06 Génération Goldman - Génération Goldman (299k)07 Johnny Hallyday - L'Attente (288k) Thanks for that! I was thinking about that this morning! She will probably end up having the second best selling album of the year... a few thousands short of being #1! It will probably outsell Adele in the end! WOWWWW!!!!!! Quote
LuisMa Posted December 19, 2012 at 10:16 AM Posted December 19, 2012 at 10:16 AM (edited) In Switzerland, the album holds steady at number 5! I guess the gold certification there is coming soon! Edited December 19, 2012 at 10:18 AM by LuisMa Quote

LuisMa Posted December 19, 2012 at 12:11 PM Posted December 19, 2012 at 12:11 PM From UKMix I read that it's sold 16,000 copies in Canada this week, and it retains the #1 position in Quebec. That means that it's super close to 90,000 this week worldwide. Hoping for 100,000!! 1 Quote

I can translate it for you if you want, just tell me Thanks but that's ok I understand. My first language is French! But I still don't like the song. The melody is very boring to me. The general meaning of the song is great but those rhymes in the lyrics (comprendre, prendre, attendre, apprendre, tendre, dépendre...) I find it is boring. There are just too many...I'm sorry guys...I don't like it. But if it's a single and it becomes successful, I will be very happy! 1 Quote
Jimnezis Posted December 20, 2012 at 06:09 PM Posted December 20, 2012 at 06:09 PM (edited) Guys they changed last weeks sales in the world chart!!!! They changed it from 67000 to 87000 and it was at #20!!!! Lets see tomorrows sales!!! Excited Edited December 20, 2012 at 06:11 PM by Jimnezis Quote
mike_z Posted December 20, 2012 at 11:13 PM Posted December 20, 2012 at 11:13 PM So with this change, what would be Mediatraffic's total to date?Is it possible that it will reach 750k tomorrow? Quote

So far, Mediatraffic reports 542,000 in 5 weeks. I don't think it'll reach 750k by week 6, but close to 700 is definitely gonna be there! 1 Quote

So do you guys think SA has chances of going back to #1 this week and beat Generation Goldman? It's definitely gonna pass the 100k mark, which means best weekly sales in France in a decade! And not in the debut which is rare in our times! Quote
duri Posted December 21, 2012 at 10:32 AM Posted December 21, 2012 at 10:32 AM Guys they changed last weeks sales in the world chart!!!!

LuisMa Posted December 21, 2012 at 01:40 PM Posted December 21, 2012 at 01:40 PM (edited) What is amazing about the sales of this album is that this year, the number 1 album in the US this week isn't selling as great as some other albums did in the past 5 years. Imagine that Celine's total in the world would place her in the US Top 5, which is incredible given the vast quantity of albums that should be selling better there, and aren't.

wjd Posted December 21, 2012 at 10:39 PM Author Posted December 21, 2012 at 10:39 PM Mediatraffic pegged it at 104,000 worldwide for last week. Which fits in nicely with my 105,000 estimate!

LuisMa Posted December 21, 2012 at 10:42 PM Posted December 21, 2012 at 10:42 PM ^ Awesome, so now the total according to them is 646,000!! Next week it will definitely pass 750k! Quote

I guess it will be zero, if Sony doesn't change their mind and does give it a proper release in the US. Edited December 21, 2012 at 11:29 PM by LuisMa Quote

wjd Posted December 21, 2012 at 11:47 PM Author Posted December 21, 2012 at 11:47 PM I highly doubt Sans attendre would do very well in the USA, it'd probably sell less than D'elles!
