Loved Me Back To Life - Worldwide Charts/Sales Topic

[Boy]

I do hope there's a chance it climbs up next week cuz this #13 just freaks me out

[Jimnezis]

i love the album! hopefully its gonna get what it deserves in the US

[lost84]

LMBTL Single at25 up from 36 in Switzerland and the Album now on nr. 4 down from nr. 3

 

Not too bad ....

[Nando Férri]

#13?????? Jesus! I knew she wouldn't be a massive hit, but I wasn't expect that to be THAT flop.

[isurrender]

Unfortunately I have to agree. Earlier i said that no single will probably save this album. I'm not sure what will save it. Her TV appearances have hardly impacted at all as well. Her upcoming Christmas adoption special will doubtedly have major impact. Just maybe we have to seriously consider that this is her first underperforming album in the US. Hope I'm wrong.

 

Which TV appearances exactly?

 

You mean the ones watched by 3 millions of people she did 1 week before the album was released? What kind of impact could it have?

 

Céline Dion : the only artist stopping promotion before the release of her album.

 

Promoting an album when it's not even out, it's useless to me.

 

She needs now to do something big , watched by millions of people ( The voice, please).

 

Celine fans in the US haven't gone anywhere they just need to hear a big ballad to get them buying the new album.

 

We had LMBTL and SLS performed during the promo and clearly this isn't what people expect or wanted to hear from a new album. Both tracks are great songs but Sony and teamCeline need to let the US market know that this isn't a completely new direction and the ballads that made America fall in love with that voice are still there.

 

Oh really?

 

Where were the fans then when she released "Goodbye's", "Alone" and "My love"?

I totally agree with Stuart2007, the songs you mentioned might flopped in United States but they are taken from successful albums. It is not about singles success, it is about awareness. Nobody suggested that a ballad should be served to radios as the second single, but it is indeed a fact that ''modern'' songs like 'Water and a flame', 'Loved me back to life' and 'Somebody loves somebody' did nothing for Celine. I'm sure most of her fans would say that 'Loved me back to life' is not even a ballad, but rather a 'Rihanna'-song! So, what Celine needs to do, is to show people that her album also has the 'old-school' vibe that made her popular. In United States live performances of 'Thankful', 'Overjoyed' and 'Incredible' will have a larger impact than the songs I mentioned earlier..!

100,000 in 2 weeks in the US? All I can say at this point is...where the heck are all the good gay boys? We should be looking at way more than this.

Present!!! But not in the US at the moment.

 

I wonder if gold is achievable before the year is over...

Based on current trajectory, she'll plummet to 15k sales next week - if she's lucky.

 

There is nothing to stabilise the sales - no promotion, no radio airplay, no hit single, no press, no appearance of any sort - nothing. The US album's performance is dead in the water. Its just unbelievable.

 

She needs a miracle.

Shhhhh!! Don't say such thing Wayne! People will accuse you of negativ-ism, of not giving enough time to the album and of not understanding that Celine is a mother now and has other priorities and has nothing to prove any more!

[mike_z]

WOW at Canada! 2 consecutive weeks at #1 competing with Gaga and Eminem!!!

130k sold in total! http://www.ukmix.org/forums/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif

 

So for mediatraffic this week will be, if I'm not wrong:

 

UK 52k

Canada 30k

US 25K

France 17k

 

that's 124k MINIMUM! She could very well reach a 400k worldwide total this week!

That's the positive outlook we need Its not even been two weeks since LMBTL album has been released, there will be more promotiopn and even as it stands at the moment is hardly a flop by todays standards, she was number 2 in the US! People are just not buying anymore, having said that Sony USA have been shocking in promoting the album although I said the same about Sony UK and then we got news of a bit of UK promotion so I am sure they've got something up their sleaves.....It's nearly Christmas and if they have any sense they will promote the hell out of the album! Celine doesn't even need to do all the promoting, hello tv adverts during prime time shows and a performance at the AMA's and the voice would see sales rocket......If they don't book Celine into these shows or she's not asked to perform I will eat my hat...

Does anyone know the numbers she usually sales in the beautiful land of the rising sun (Japan)?

[Alex_Incognito]

Americans seem to be into mediocre female singers that play a ukelele.

She used to be a big seller there in the 90's. 4 of her albums have reached the million mark there. Not so much after the 00's

I guess sending my cd to the Pope and having him sprinkle Holy water on it didn't help?

[uk28uk28]

Do you guys remember TC's second week in Canada? I think it's pretty awesome that she's still #1 there!

[boyblackuk]

Celine Maintains her Number 5 charting on the UK midweek charts, Gaga down to 9. This is great for the UK, so pleased. Christmas buyers must be buying it as gifts too.

What the hell is Sony US waiting for to release Incredible? It's already playing on radios in Canada... Without it, the album will just keep going down the charts in the US...

This releasing the albums in November crap is for the birds. Was "TCWT" the last thing she released in the springtime? I loved when she started doing them in the spring with ANDHC and OH. Maybe they count on those blasted holiday sales.

[anewdayhascome]

Exactly! Releasing in nov sucks! because the first single doesn't become a hit, then we have Xmas time and nothing in between, later they release a second single but by then people will forget about the album and the second single won't become success either. If Celine promoted her albums and singles all the time that wouldn't be so bad but she always does the promotion before/around the time of the release and then nothing... so I don't believe it'll change

[amelie]

if they don't release a great music video at the same time they send the song to the stations they shouldn't bother imo

Celine Dion, D'eux & Falling Into You were also released in the spring
